2. Terminate infrequently used system services.

First, do you really want to activate XP? No … exactly, do you want to upgrade on the Microsoft website? If the answer is yes, let's discuss the installation first. At present, I recommend the popular versions of V4, V5 and V6, especially V5 and V6. There was a serial number problem during installation. I suggest you calculate it on the computer first, and then install it with this serial number. Usually XP installed in this way can be updated at the MS site for free.

It doesn't matter if you have installed XP, but the serial number you use is the one that everyone in the room uses everywhere. We will say later that repackaging with sysrep will solve the problem of serial number replacement.

I assume that you have installed XP, come on baby ~ ~

First, slimming action

1, after all kinds of software and hardware are installed properly, XP rarely needs to update files. Delete the system backup file: Start → Run → sfc.exe/Purge Cache nearly 3xxM.

2. Delete the driver.cab file in the driver backup: %windows% \driver cache \i386 directory, usually this file is 76M.

3. I don't have the habit of reading help, so it is a kind of harm for me to put things in the %windows% \help directory, hehe. . . Kill them all, nearly 4xM.

4. Later, after upgrading, you will find that %windows% \ has many directories similar to $ ntuninstallq311889 $. Kill them all, 1x-3xM.

5. There is win2000/server in the hard disk, so by the way, point all the pagefile.sys files to one place: Control Panel → System → Performance → Advanced → Virtual Memory → Change. Please note that the Settings will take effect.

6. Uninstall uncommon components: use Notepad to modify \%windows% \inf \sysoc.inf, use the find/replace function, enter and hide in the find box, and replace all with blanks. In this way, all the "hidden" will be removed, and then run "Add-Remove Program" after saving, and you will see many more options in "Add/Remove Windows Components"; Delete games, code watches and other unused things.

7. Delete the input method 8xM that is not used under \windows \ime. I reinstalled my zrm input method, hehe.

8. If the space is really tight, enabling the compression function of NTFS will also use 2x% less space, but I didn't do it.

9. Turning off the system restore is a disaster for people like me who often download test software. Right-click My Computer on the desktop, select Properties, find System Restore, and select Turn off System Restore on all drives. Hehe, you can save space again.

10, there are several files, which are quite large and useless ... I forgot the name: (,the newly installed system can use the search function to find files larger than 50M, and it should be found.

If you can follow the above process, your original XP of 1.4G can be completely reduced to below 800.
