Accelerate the start-up speed
Every time you start Windows XP, you have to walk the blue scroll bar several times. In fact, we can also reduce its scrolling time here to speed up the startup. Open the registry editor, find HKEY _ local _ machine \ system \ current control set \ control \ session manager \ memory management \ prefetch parameter, find the EnablePrefetcher key on the right, and change its default value of 3 to 1, so that the scrolling time of the scroll bar will be reduced.
In fact, the speed of starting is not very important, we just want to have better performance when using the computer. Here are several settings to improve the boot speed. I used 1, 2, 5, and when I started, the scroll bar entered the system in less than one lap.
1. Disable idle IDE channels.
Acceleration principle: Windows XP will automatically detect the IDE devices on the computer when it is started, so it will turn off the detection of idle IDE channels to speed up the system startup. However, a misunderstanding circulating on the Internet needs to be corrected: many people think that it is enough to disable idle IDE channels in the BIOS, while others suggest closing the BIOS and the system at the same time. First of all, the first method is basically ineffective, because XP operating system can bypass the BIOS of the motherboard and independently monitor various States of computer hardware; The latter way is redundant. Therefore, it can only be closed in Windows XP system, so as to really achieve the effect of disabling idle IDE channels.
The method is as follows: right-click "My Computer-Properties", then click "Hardware" and then click "Device Manager" to open the "IDE ATA/PATA Controller" (the chip is slightly different from the chip), then enter the primary and secondary IDE channels respectively, select "Advanced Settings", and find the item whose "current transmission mode" is "not applicable" (this is an idle IDE.
2. Set the IP address manually.
Acceleration principle: Windows XP system is developed on the basis of Windows 2000, so it supports rich network functions. Among them, Windows XP system will automatically detect whether the computer is connected to the LAN after booting, but most users surf the Internet by themselves, and basically all settings in the network connection are to automatically obtain the IP address. In this way, the system will search the DHCP server to assign an IP address to the machine, but the average user will not configure it at all. This will cause the system to spend a long time searching the DHCP server after each startup until it gets the IP address or the service times out. In the meantime, even when you get to the desktop, the double-click program doesn't respond. This is also a problem that many users who use Windows XP report that they "crash" 10 seconds after entering the desktop! In fact, as long as you manually assign an IP address to the "local connection", you can simply solve this problem, avoid Windows XP automatically detecting the network every time it starts, and thus speed up the startup!
The specific operation is as follows: right-click "Network Neighborhood"-select properties, enter the window and right-click "Local Area Connection"-select properties, double-click "TCP/IP" here, select "Use the following IP address" and then enter an IP address (for example: 192. 168.0.6538 This won't cause any conflict with your internet access, and this address is only used in the local area network. In this way, if the system searches again, it will quickly find the IP and quickly enter the system.
3, disable temporarily unused equipment
Acceleration principle: Computer peripherals are much cheaper now. Many people have bought USB flash drives, mobile hard disks and other products, but many friends always forget to disconnect these USB devices from the host after using them. Because the Windows XP system will automatically detect the USB interface at startup, if these devices are connected to the host at startup, the system will start slowly. I personally experienced the situation that a friend's computer can't enter the system after connecting to the mobile hard disk, and can only enter by disconnecting the cable. Therefore, after using USB devices such as U disk and mobile hard disk, we should disconnect from the host in time, and at the same time prevent the equipment from being damaged by unexpected circumstances such as boot current shock (because many chassis manufacturers do not have the necessary protection circuit or even the necessary front USB interface grounding in order to reduce costs). In addition, friends who use notebooks should disable the infrared and wireless network cards in the device manager if they can't use them temporarily. Because these expansion devices, especially network cards, have a great influence on the speed of system startup. After it is disabled, you can skip the system startup detection and speed up the startup process.
In addition, it should be noted that the system will automatically read the CD-ROM drive by default, so the CD-ROM drive will be detected at startup. If there is a disc in the CD-ROM drive, it will read it automatically. If it is a multimedia CD, it will take a long time to read, and it will also prolong the startup time of the computer. So I suggest you take out the CD in time after using it.
4. Close the theme to reduce the desktop.
Many friends like beautiful themes or wallpaper, but beauty comes at a price, that is, it consumes a lot of memory and there are too many desktop icons. Because every time the system starts to display the desktop, it is necessary to check whether the theme is enabled, and it will be loaded once it is found, so many themes will eat up a lot of memory (plus many netizens' own themes are not perfect, and many compatibility problems will occur after use, resulting in system failure). At the same time, the system will also find and verify the validity of desktop shortcuts, so the more shortcuts, the longer the verification time. I suggest you try not to use themes at ordinary times, and set up a beautiful wallpaper at most. Then put the desktop shortcuts in a special folder to facilitate management and speed up startup.
5. Close the redundant startup program.
Many softwares will automatically run some background programs after the system is started, such as Winamp, office and so on.
These programs will slow down the startup speed. You have to enter "msconfig" and "Start" to close the redundant startup items here. Usually only the input method and firewall are kept (according to personal settings).
In addition, it is recommended that you do not set the memory optimization software to start. Because the startup memory arrangement not only has little effect, but also seriously affects the startup speed, the correct way should be to use memory arrangement after running PhotoShop and other software that needs a lot of memory. (In fact, since Win2000, the memory management of the operating system itself has been quite perfect. Now winXP is more scientific and effective in memory management, and the effect of using memory is limited. )
6, anti-virus software is also troublesome.
Some anti-virus software provides system startup scanning function, which will take a lot of time. In fact, if you have turned on the real-time monitoring function of anti-virus software, and regularly check whether the system has viruses, then scanning the system at startup is a bit redundant, so it is better to disable this function!
First of all, start from the beginning-> Run, enter:
mscofig
Disable third-party applications that don't need to be started in the startup item.
The second is to find two files, desktop.ini and folder.htt, from the tool->; Folder option, check to show the contents of the system folder, uncheck to hide the protected operating system files. Select Show All Files. After confirmation. Right-click my computer, click Search, search desktop.ini and folder.htt respectively, and delete the found files.
Third, it may be a Trojan horse or a malicious advertising program:
Re-register IE project and repair IE registration. Start from scratch-> run quickly
Enter the command regsvr32 actxprxy.dll ok.
Enter the command regsvr32 shdocvw.dll ok.
restart
Fourth, directly delete all files in the TEMP and Temporary Internet Files directories under c: \ documents and settings \ your login user name directory \ local settings \
The three measures to make Windows XP several times faster are very simple to set up, but the article is not lacking in practicality.
1. Reduce the waiting time for scanning the startup disk, start → run, and type: chkntfs /t:0.
2. Delete the system backup file:
After all kinds of software and hardware are installed properly, XP rarely needs to update files. Start → Run, input: sfc.exe/Purge cache, enter, almost 3xxMb.
3, compressed folder:
This is a very good optimization. Windows XP has built-in. ZIP file, so we can browse the zip file as a folder. However, the system needs to use some resources to achieve this.
Function, so disabling this function can improve system performance. The implementation method is simple, just cancel the registration of zipfldr.dll, click Start-Run,
Type: regsvr32/u zipfldr.dll. Then get into the car.
First, speed up the plan
WinXP startup will have many functions that affect the speed. Although ms says it has been optimized, there are still many customization places for us. I usually do this.
1, modify the run key of the registry and cancel those things that are not commonly used, such as Windows Messenger. Enable Registry Manager: Start → Run →Regedit→ Find the key value of "HKEY _ Current _ User \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ Current Version \ Run \ MSMSGS"/background, right click → Delete, the world is much quieter, and kill all those cfmon by the way.
2. Modify the registry to reduce the waiting time of pre-reading and progress bar. The effect is that the progress bar will enter the login interface after running once. Start → Run →regedit mobile registry editor, and find HKEY _ local _ machine \ system \ currentcontrolset \ control \ session manager \ memory management \ prefetch parameter. There is a key to make Prefetcher change its value to "1". In addition, friends who don't change their hardware often can set the device type above the bus device to none in the system properties.
3. Turn off the special effects in the system properties, which is a simple and effective acceleration method. Click Start → Control Panel → System → Advanced → Performance → Settings → In the visual effect, adjust the settings to the best performance → OK. In this way, the desktop will be very similar to win2000. I still like the blue window of XP, so I put a check on "Use visual styles on windows and buttons" so that I can see the beautiful blue interface and speed up.
4. I use Windows commadner+Winrar to manage files. The ZIP support of Win XP is even worse for me, because no matter whether I need it or not, the boot system will open a zip support, and the already idle system resources will be less. Click Start → Run, type "REGSVR32/U zipfldr.dll" in the middle of double quotation marks, and then press enter to confirm. The sign of success is that a prompt window appears, and the content is roughly as follows: Dll UnrgisterServer in zipfldr.dll is successful.
It is said that a system of XP serves Qos, and this scheduling takes up 20% of the network bandwidth, which people like us can't afford. The way to get rid of it is: start menu → run → type gpedit.msc, and the group policy window will appear, expand management template → network, expand QoS packet scheduler, and right-click in the right window to restrict reservation. After completing and applying the above modifications, if users can see "QoS Packet Scheduler" in the general properties tab of the properties dialog box of network connection. It means that the modification is successful, otherwise it means that the modification has failed. By the way, kill (uninstall) the Qos protocol in the network properties.
6. Enjoy a quick browse of the LAN.
Usually, when connecting to other computers, Windows XP will comprehensively check all scheduled tasks on other computers. This check will make you wait for 30 seconds or more. The way to get rid of it is to start → run →Regedit→ find HKEY _ local _ machine \ software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ current version \ resource manager \ remote computer \ namespace in the registry. Under this key value, there will be a key {d6277990-4c6a-11cf-8d87-00aa0060f5bf}. After deletion, restart the computer, and Windows XP will no longer check the scheduled tasks. Hoho ~ ~, the speed is obviously improved!
7. Close the debugger, Dr. Watson.
It seems that I haven't used this thing since the win' 90s. I can cancel it like this: open the book table, find the subkey branch of HKEY _ local _ machine \ software \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ Current Version \ AE Debug, double-click the Auto key name below it, change its "numerical data" to 0, and finally press F5 to refresh the setting to take effect, thus canceling its operation. Following this idea, we can cancel all options with debugging function, such as memory.dmp that appears when the screen is blue, and "My computer → Properties → Advanced → Settings → Write debugging information → Do not select" and so on.
8. Remember to report the error, KAO! This thing makes me look like a free tester of Microsoft: click Control Panel-> System-> Advanced-> Lower right corner-> Error Reporting-> Disable Error Reporting-> OK!
9. Remove the waiting time for disk scanning.
Windows XP shut down before 9, and it takes 10 seconds to start disk scanning after restarting. If you think 10 second is too long, let it go for 0 second! Press Start → All Programs → Accessories → Command Prompt, and enter "CHKNTFS /T:0" at the prompt, so you don't have to wait that long 10 second next time.
10, shortening the startup time.
I suggest you use the Bootvis software released by Microsoft, which can automatically optimize the system and shorten the startup time. Just select "Optimize System" in "Tracking" and restart. In addition, the MsConfig installer built into Windows XP can reduce the number of programs loaded at startup, thus shortening the startup time. When operating, just enter "msconfig" and then make relevant settings through "Start".
Are you all busy? I haven't finished changing it. Let's continue:
Second, the slimming plan
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.
In fact, Microsoft's help can't help you. 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. You will be surprised to find that %windows%\ has many directories like $ ntuninstallq311889 $. Don't think that Gates gave you a gift package and killed them all. 1x-3xM.
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 "hiding" is removed. After saving the disk, run "Add-Remove Program", and you will see many more options in "Add/Remove Windows Components". Delete games, code watches and other unused things.
7、? Except under \windows\ime? Enter the law, 8xM. You can delete it. Don't kill everything you use.
8. Space is really tight. Turning on the compression function of NTFS will reduce the space by 2x%, but I wonder what NTFS is? If it works, you might as well try it.
9. Turning off 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, it can save space again.
10, automatically close the program that stops responding.
In the Windows XP operating system, we can modify the registry, so that when Windows XP detects that an application stops responding, it will automatically shut down without manual intervention. To realize this function, please click "Start → Run" to enter RegEdit, open the registry editor and change its key value to 1.
1 1. Turn off the hibernation function.
Hibernation support only needs to go through the control panel->; Power options-> Hibernation, just remove the check in front of "Enable Hibernation", haha, so that 5 12MB hard disk space can be freed up again. This is a lot of money for a 20G hard disk.
If you can follow the above process, your original XP of 1.4G can be completely reduced to below 800.
The optimization is basically over, and the backup can be made. Make a backup, okay? Never mind, buy a ghost disk. If there is an explanation in it, read it a few more times and you can start. I suggest you make a backup of the important things in the machine under the guidance of a master.
What? Do you think this system is safe? For a novice, watching less yellow web pages is the safest setting. If you have to watch it, you won't be targeted because you are violated. Anyone who can invade your machine will generally disdain to invade you. Generally, people who violate you are practicing with you. Skynet firewall basically does not need to panic him. If you are really unlucky, you will be struck by lightning when you walk, and you will learn to be smart when you are a broiler a few times. But websites with trojans and viruses are really hateful, so pay more attention when browsing the web. The general malicious attack website Skynet firewall can basically do it. If you are really caught by the virus, kill it with Norton (I choose, I like it, and I don't need Norton), and the system should still stand.
Here are two real questions, posted for your reference.
Frequently asked questions: Why is my Windows XP still in English after installing the Simplified Chinese Language Pack?
On some BBS, many friends say that this language pack is difficult to install. In fact, after installation, the welcome screen has changed from welcome to welcome. As for the interface, enter the control panel, regional options and menu display, select Simplified Chinese, log out and log in again. If you don't choose to use this configuration for all users, you will find that other users still have English interfaces. Haha, congratulations, they will all enjoy bilingualism.
Why is my QQ running slowly under Windows XP?
The problem seems to be that the current QQ version is not compatible with Windows XP, especially the old version, QQ7 10 is OK. Is it because Microsoft deliberately did this to promote MSNMessenger? Hahaha ... If the food is too good, you can't even download Coral Edition or Mu Zi Edition. It seems that you will have to wait for QQXP.
I have personally tried the above correction and acceleration schemes, and there is no big problem, just one word: cool! I haven't tried all the slimming plans. I used several methods in my machine to lose weight, but I still feel very cool!
Third, the rookie experience:
Don't think that 1 is invincible after changing the registry. In fact, the hardware is still rubbish. I can run 3D games. Except for 3D pinball, all the other 3D games are just drooling. Remember to change everything you can if you have spare money.
2 The system disk (usually the C disk) should be loaded with as few things as possible, but don't load things that are not necessarily installed on the system disk.
If you want to spend 1000 yuan on a second mobile phone, I suggest you buy a fresh air fan anyway. As I didn't understand at the time, the fan was bought second-hand. Later, I found that even if the fan of the machine turned, the Tora machine seemed very quiet. In particular, most of the people who install this second-hand mobile phone are college students. It is inevitable to play online games or hang up at night. The fan is so rubbish that no one can sleep.
If you are in the dormitory, it is recommended to leave a chassis baffle. In addition to making up for the shortage of heat dissipation of second-hand fans, another purpose is to facilitate copying things from other people's machines and connecting hard disks. What? Afraid your hand won't break? No. . 1000 yuan machine hard disk you dare not practice unloading. I won't be numb if I buy a notebook. Copy method: hard disk? Get it off. Be gentle. Then open the chassis of the target machine, pull the data cable connecting the target machine and the CD-ROM drive out of the CD-ROM drive and plug it into your hard disk interface. Relax, there is only one way to insert. ) In the same way, plug the power cord of the CD-ROM drive into the hard disk. Then turn it on, and you will find that there is an extra disk in the target machine "My Computer". Yes, that is your hard disk. Hey, hey, I want to copy porn, and I want to drag a movie. (attachment: consider it as a mobile hard disk. Anyway, it costs 180 yuan to buy a second-hand 20G, but remember to handle it with care and turn off the power. Live job, maybe it's not about money. )
If you are in the same dormitory or the whole building is LAN, this article is omitted.
If the machine is installed according to 1000 yuan, everything will be simple, and the optical mouse must not be bought. Because: 1 will be a big overhead in the configuration process. Moreover, the mouse, keyboard and even mouse pad can be asked for an old set from the boss for free when paying. Play in the dormitory, go to bed at night and hang up to download things to know how annoying the photoelectric mouse is. Within three days, others will give priority to your optical mouse and let it break down.
If you are too lazy to start work and want to optimize the system, it is not impossible. Buy a CD with an optimization master, remember that there is a registration code in it, and just choose the optimization project according to the prompts. But if you don't know what the options are, then the optimization master can't solve any problems. Find a basic book and chew it.
7 want to hide IP? No problem, you need to download a tool: Steganos Internet Anonymous Pro 6, but it should be used for self-defense first and not supported by unkind gay couples. Don't rush to test after installation. Close all browsers and reopen them. If it doesn't work, you can see the effect by restarting it.
Accelerated closure
When shutting down in XP, the system will send a message to the running programs and remote servers, telling them that they should shut down the system and wait for the response before the system starts to shut down. To speed up the shutdown, you can set the task to end automatically first. First run REGEDIT to find HKEY _ current _ user \ control panel \ desktop, and set the key value of AutoEndTasks to 1. Then there is a "HungAppTimeout" under this branch, and its value is changed to "4000 (or below), and the default is 50000; Finally, find HKEY _ local _ machine \ system \ current control set \ control \, and also set WaitToKillServiceTimeout to "4000"; Setting the shutdown speed in this way is obviously much faster.
