B, install the optimization master and optimize the system.

C, the following are common operations:

1. Restore classic Windows interface.

The first feeling of many people after installing Windows XP is that Windows has become extremely beautiful. It's a pity that the price of beauty will consume our poor memory and video memory.

To restore the interface and usage habits similar to classic Windows, right-click the desktop and select the "Properties" command to enter the "Display Properties" setting window.

There are five tabs: theme, desktop, screen saver, appearance and settings. There will be a bright yellow highlight on the label of the current tab.

Displays the "Theme" tab by default. Here, as long as we select "Windows Classic" in the "Theme" drop-down menu, we can immediately see the display effect in the preview window. At the same time,

The contents of the Appearance tab will change accordingly.

Note: Themes in Windows XP are closely related to appearance tabs. If you change any of the options, you will see the corresponding changes in another tab.

2. Restore the start menu

The new "Start" menu of Windows XP is quite convenient and has little impact on system resources. If you like the classic menu of the past, right-click the blank space of the taskbar.

Select the "Properties" menu to enter the setting window of "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties", select the "Start" menu tab, and select "Classic [Start] menu" to restore to the previous one.

It seems so.

3. Optimize visual effects

The operating interface of Windows XP is really beautiful, which is at the cost of consuming a lot of memory. We prefer the former and the right-click menu to speed and beauty.

Click My Computer, click Properties/Advanced, and click Settings/Visual Effects in the Performance column. You can see all the settings of the appearance here, or you can remove some manually.

Required functions. We can save a lot of memory by turning off all special appearance settings such as fade-in/fade-out, smooth scrolling and sliding opening.

4. Disable redundant service components

Windows XP, like Windows 2000, can be used as an Http server, a mail server and an FTP server, so whenever Windows XP starts, many services will start.

There are many services that are completely useless to us ordinary users, so it is a good choice to turn them off. The operation method is: right-click "My Computer" and select.

Administration/Services and Applications/Services to disable unnecessary service components. Note: Some services are necessary for Windows XP, and the system will crash after shutdown. View detailed instructions

Prohibited after confirmation. Editor's Note: For 90 common services of Windows XP, this article will have a special chapter analysis.

5. Reduce the number of projects loaded at startup.

Many applications will join the system startup group when they are installed, and the system will run automatically every time it is started, which not only prolongs the startup time, but also reduces the system resources after it is started.

I was eaten a lot! We can reduce the number of programs loaded when the system starts by selecting Run from the start menu and typing msconfig to start the system configuration utility.

",enter the Start tab, and list the projects and sources loaded at system startup in this window. Check carefully whether it needs to be loaded automatically, otherwise clear the check box in front of the project and load it.

The fewer projects there are, the faster the venture will naturally be. The project needs to be restarted to take effect.

6. Turn off the system restore function

"System Restore" function is an important feature of Windows series operating systems. When there is a problem with Windows operation, the operating system will be restored. Although "system restore" is for people who often make mistakes.

Useful, but it will keep your hard disk in a highly busy state, and you will find that your hard disk has been busy all the time, because Windows XP needs to record operations so that it can be recovered later. If you are right about yourself.

If you are confident, don't use it, because it will take up a lot of memory.

To turn off the system restore function, click Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/System Restore. In the system restore interface, click System Restore Settings to enter the system restore settings.

Window, clear the "Turn off system restore on all drives" check box, so that Windows XP will delete the backup system restore point, thus freeing up the disk space it occupies.

Generally speaking, in order to give consideration to system performance and system security, the author suggests turning on the system restore function of the drive letter where Windows XP is located.

7. Turn off automatic updates

"Automatic Update" is a new function introduced by Windows XP to facilitate users to upgrade their systems. This function can be automatically updated when Microsoft introduces a system upgrade patch or a system security patch.

Remind users to upgrade the system, but there is a requirement for this function, that is, users must be in always online, but for us "poor people" who lack iron and silver, this requirement is unreasonable.

Harsh, so we turned off the "automatic upgrade" function and changed it to "manual upgrade"

To turn off automatic updates, right-click My Computer/Properties/Automatic Updates, and then select Turn off automatic updates in the notification settings column. I will update my computer manually.

8. Close Remote Desktop

One feature of this feature is to allow others to access your desktop on another machine. This function is very useful in LAN. For example, if you have a problem, you can ask your colleagues for help. He can

You don't have to come to your front, you can directly access your machine through the "remote desktop" to help you solve the problem. But for ordinary users with only one computer, this function is redundant.

So we turn it off and don't let it waste memory there. The specific operation is: right-click "My Computer", select "Properties/Remote", and put "Remote Desktop"

Allow users to connect to this computer remotely.

9. Disable the hibernation function

Hibernation of Windows XP can completely save the current system state in memory to the hard disk. The next boot, the system will not need to go through the process of loading and system initialization, but directly.

Enter your last hibernation state, so it will start soon. But it will take up a lot of hard disk space (as big as your memory). You can go to Control Panel/Power Options/Hibernation.

It is turned off to free up hard disk space and then turned on when needed. To do this, click Start/Control Panel/Power Management/Hibernation and uncheck "Enable Hibernation".

10. Turn off the "Automatic Error Reporting" function.

Everyone must have had this experience in Window XP. Once a program terminates abnormally, the system will automatically pop up a dialog box and ask you whether to send an error to Microsoft, which is XP.

"Automatically send error" function, which can send error information to Microsoft's website. Although Microsoft has repeatedly vowed that it can provide strong security and will not reveal personal privacy,

But the information sent to Microsoft may contain the document information you are browsing or editing, which may contain personal privacy or company secrets, so if you want to protect your due rights.

Li, we should turn off this function without hesitation. To do this, click Start/Control Panel/System/Advanced, click the Error Reporting button, and then select Disable Error Reporting.

You can choose "but let me know when a serious error occurs" below.

1 1. Turn off the Internet time synchronization function.

"Internet time synchronization" is to synchronize your computer clock with the Internet time server once a week, so that your system time will be accurate, but this function is for me.

It is of little use to users, and may also cause the problem of crash. Generally speaking, you only need to synchronize the time once after installing Windows XP. So we're going to turn it off. special

To do this, click Start/Control Panel/Date, Time, Language and Regional Options, and then click Date and Time /Internet Time.

12. Reasonable setting of virtual memory

For virtual memory files, Windows XP always sets a large default value for security, which wastes a lot of hard disk space. In fact, we can set its value lower. The method is: enter

"Control Panel/System/Advanced/Performance/Settings/Advanced/Virtual Memory/Change", go to the virtual memory settings window, first determine which drive your page file is in, and then transfer it to another disk.

Operator-driven page files are all disabled. It is suggested that you set it to another partition instead of the default partition where the system is located, which can improve the reading and writing speed of the page file and is beneficial to

The rapid operation of the system. According to Microsoft's suggestion, the page file should be set to 1.5 times the memory capacity, but if your memory is large, it will occupy a considerable space, so it is recommended that,

If the memory capacity is below 256MB, it is set to 1.5 times, and the maximum value is the same as the minimum value. If it is above 5 12MB, it is completely feasible to set it to half the memory capacity.

13. Delete redundant documents

There are many files in Windows XP that we seldom use at ordinary times, which are put on the hard disk, wasting space and reducing system performance. We can completely delete these useless files and need to delete them.

These documents are:

Help file: under the C:WindowsHelp directory.

Driver backup: Driver.cab file in C:Windowsdriver cachei386 directory.

System file backup: it is rarely used by ordinary users, and it is deleted by sfc.exe/Purge cache command.

C: an alternate dll file in the C:Windows system32 dllcache directory.

Input method: directly delete the three directories of chtime, imjp8_ 1 and imkr6_ 1 under the folder C: Windows Time, which are traditional Chinese, Japanese and Korean input methods respectively.

14. Delete hidden components in WindowsXP.

After normal installation, Windows XP will automatically install many components, many of which are not used at ordinary times. Installing them in the system will take up a lot of space and reduce system performance. we

You can delete unused components in the following ways.

Use Notepad to modify the Sysoc.inf file in C:WindowsInf directory, and use the find/replace function to enter ",hide" (English comma followed by hide) and replace "in the find box.

The Identity box is set to empty. And choose to replace all, so that all the "hidden" are deleted, saved and exited, and then click "Start/Control Panel/Add or Remove Programs" to see it.

Many components that can't be seen at ordinary times can be deleted without programs.

15. Clean up junk files

Windows XP will produce junk files with extensions such as TMP, BAK and OLD during normal use. You can use the search function of Windows to find these files and put them in.

Delete. In addition, Windows XP will record error events and write debugging information when the system fails by default, and we can completely discard these file information. By clicking Start/Control

Panel/System/Advanced/Startup and Fault Recovery, clear "Write events to log file" and select "None" in the "Write debugging information" drop-down box.

16.MSN is forbidden to start with Windows.

Messenger always runs automatically every time you start Windows. Even if you don't want to start it, it will run automatically, which is very annoying. Can we stop starting with Windows?

What about moving? The answer is yes.

The first method:

1. Click Run in the start menu, enter msconfig in the open box, and then click OK to open the system configuration utility window.

2. Click the startup tab, clear the check box in front of MSMSGS in the startup project list, and then click OK.

3. When prompted to "restart the computer", click the "Yes" button.

The second method:

1. Open the Registry Editor window.

2. expand the "key _ current _ user software windows current version run" branch in turn, then right-click "MSMSGS" in the right pane, and then click the shortcut menu.

"Delete" command in the list. When prompted to confirm deletion, please click the "Yes" button.

After setting, MSN will never start with the start of Windows XP.

17. Optimize bandwidth

Windows XP Professional Edition adds QoSRRP (abbreviation of quality of service resource reservation protocol, meaning quality of service resource reservation protocol). generally speaking

When trying to access information through the available bandwidth, the application either passes through the QoS API or another API called TCI. In network communication, for

business

The security of the aspect reserves a certain bandwidth for managers, which is undoubtedly a good thing for QoS applications, but ordinary users do not need this function, and there are some invisibility (silence)

I think that 20% bandwidth is wasted, so I'm here to provide a way to cancel this function.

Select the "Start" menu and click "Logout" to enter the login main interface. Press Ctrl+Alt+Del twice in the login main screen to open the login window and enter the user name.

Enter the administrator (note: size should be differentiated), fill in your own password in the password field (if no password is set, you can leave it blank), click OK to enter Windows, and click Start/Run to enter.

Enter gpedit.msc to enter the group policy window, select computer configuration/management template/network /QoS packet scheduler in the left window, and double-click restrictions in the right window.

Reserve bandwidth ",select Enable and set the bandwidth limit (%) to 0, click Apply, then click OK and restart.

Note: Users of Windows XP Home Edition do not have to change these settings.

18. Delete redundant fonts

The more fonts installed in Windows XP, the more memory system resources will be occupied, and the running speed of the system will slow down. Therefore, we'd better remove the fonts that are not commonly used from the system.

Delete. Font files are stored in the C:Windowsfont directory. You can select some fonts as needed and delete more unused fonts.

19. Change IE temporary folder

A large number of temporary files generated when surfing the Internet are stored in IE temporary folder. By default, the temporary folder is on the system partition, and a large number of temporary files will affect the hard disk to read and write system files.

The performance of. You can change the location of temporary files to avoid this situation. Click Start/Control Panel /Internet Options, and then click Settings on the General tab.

Button, click the Move Folder button in the window that opens, and specify a folder on the non-system partition. After clicking OK, the temporary file will be moved to the specified folder.

20. Accelerate the enjoyment of "online neighbors"

I don't know if users can enjoy the resources by opening * * * in My Network Places with Windows XP, but they find it takes a long time because it will check the settings in other computers.

Fixed work, sometimes even stopping there for nearly a minute, is quite annoying. You can cancel the step of checking it by selecting Start/Run and typing regedit.

Find [HKEY local machine/software/Microsoft /Windows/ current version/

Explorer/remotecomputer/namespace], click the right mouse button to delete {d6277990-4c6a-1cf-8d87-00aa0060f5bf} at this location.

2 1. Clear the read-ahead file

After using Windows XP for a period of time, the files in the pre-read folder (C:Windows prefetch) under the installation directory will become very large, and there will be dead-chain files in it, which will slow down the system.

Time, I suggest you delete these files regularly.

22. Set up pre-reading to improve the speed.

Windows XP uses the new technology of pre-reading settings to improve the system speed. If your computer is well configured and the memory is greater than PIII 80012m, you can make the following changes: Click.

"Start/Run", enter "regedit", open the registry, and find the memory of [HKEY _ local _ machine system current control set control session manager.

ManagementPrefetchParametersEnablePrefetcher], set the value 0, 1, 2,3 (0-disable, 1- read the application, 2- start reading, 3- read both), and push.

It is recommended to use "3", which can reduce the startup time.

23. Cancel unnecessary network service components.

Click Start/Control Panel/Network Connections/Local Connection to open the local connection status window, click the Properties button to open the properties dialog box, click the Advanced tab, and then select Connection.

Restrict or prevent access to this computer from the Internet to protect my computer and network "option, and then click the" Settings "button, you can see all installed,

Services that Internet users can access and run on your network. Unless you want to set up an FTP or SMTP server, it is best to deselect all these items.

24. Enable DMA transfer mode.

The so-called DMA, that is, direct memory storage mode, means that computer peripherals (mainly hard disks) can directly exchange data with memory, which can speed up the reading and writing speed of hard disks and improve the speed of data transmission.

Rate. For some reasons, Windows XP sometimes uses PIO parallel I/O transfer mode instead of DMA mode on IDE channels. If this is the case, the user can manually set the IDE

Changing the channel to DMA mode can reduce the CPU cycle occupied by the device. Right-click my computer, select Properties, click the Hardware tab, and then click Devices.

Manager button, open the device manager, and then click to expand the branch of IDE ATA/ATAPI controller, in which the IDE controller has two main IDE channels and secondary channels.

IDE connection, select them respectively, and then enter "Properties/Advanced Settings". This dialog box lists the transfer modes of the devices currently connected to the IDE interface. Check the Transfer Mode drop-down menu and set it.

The students all set "DMA (if available)" and click "OK".

25. Accelerate menu display

Select "Start/Run", enter regedit, pop up registry editing, look for [HKEY _ Current _ User Control Panel Desktop], and select MenuShowDelay in the right window.

Right-click and select Modify to change its value to 100 or less (default: 400). It is not recommended to use 0, because if the mouse accidentally touches "all".

Program ",the whole menu is used up, and then it's a mess.

26. Accelerate the closure

Windows XP's startup speed is indeed much faster than the previous version of the operating system, but its shutdown speed is much slower. If you care about the speed of shutdown, you can modify several registry keys.

Value, which can greatly reduce the time of Windows shutdown. First, open the Registry Editor and find the HKEY _ Current _ User Control Panel desktop, which has a name.

The key of HungAppTimeout, its default value is 5000 (if not, change it to 5000). Next, there is a WaitToKillAppTimeout key, and its value is changed to 4000 (the default value

It was in 2000). Finally, find the following location of the registry: HKEY _ Local _ Machine System Current Control Settings Control. Similarly, put WaitToKillService in it

The timeout key value is changed to 4000. In addition, setting the NVidia driver help service in the control panel/administrative tools/services to manual can also speed up the Windows shutdown time.

27. Automatically end the task when the computer is turned off.

When you turn off your phone, sometimes an annoying dialog box will pop up to remind you that a program is still running, whether to end the task or not. In fact, you can let Windows automatically end these things with a little modification.

A program that is still running. Open HKEY _ Current _ User Control Panel desktop directory in the registry, and change the key value of AugoEndTasks to 1.

Note: You may not find the AutoEndTasks key value. If there is, just create a string value and change it to this name, and the value is set to 1.

28. Close Dr. Watson.

Click "Start/Run" and enter "drwtsn32" command or "Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/System Information/Tools/Dr. Watson" to bring up Dr. Watson in the system.

Dr. Watson, only keep the option of "Dump all thread contexts", otherwise, once the program goes wrong, the hard disk will be read for a long time, occupying a lot of space. If this has happened before, please find out the reason.

The User.dmp file can save tens of MB of space after deletion.

29. Reduce the waiting time of disk scanning.

Although WindowsXP claims to be stable, it doesn't always crash, and occasionally it turns you blue. After the illegal operation, the system will automatically scan, and there will be large sections of E-text telling you about the system just now.

Abnormal end, now we need to check whether there are any errors, but it will take some time to start, so you can type "chkntfs/t:0" under dos, indicating that the waiting time is.

0 seconds.

30. Delete redundant accounts

If you are the only one who uses your computer, you'd better only set up an account of your own, because every time you set up an account, you will find documents and.

There is a folder named after your account under Settings, which contains some information of this account, including favorites, documents, history, system setting information and so on.

Over time, the space it occupies cannot be underestimated. The solution is to delete the redundant accounts in the start/control panel/user account according to your own situation.

3 1. Let the system automatically close the program that stops responding.

Click "Start/Run" to enter regedit, pop up the registry editor, look for [HKEY _ Current _ User Control Panel Desktop], and select it in the right window.

AutoEndTasks, right-click and select Modify to change its numerical data to 1 (default: 0).

32.IE browser acceleration skills

Windows XP comes with Internet Explorer6, and there is a little trick. After modification, it starts quickly (on my computer, it starts instantly). The specific method is: right click.

Internet Explorer shortcut icon (such as IE icon in the taskbar shortcut bar), just open the icon properties and add "-nohome" parameter after "target".

33. Encrypt files and folders

Right-click any files and folders that need to be encrypted, select Properties, click the General tab, and then select Advanced Encrypted Content to protect data.

Just confirm it later. It should be noted that the encryption operation of Windows XP is only for NTFS-formatted disk partitions, and does not provide encryption support for traditional FAT 16 and FAT32-formatted partitions.

If you want to use encryption, you need to convert the disk to NTFS format.

34. Customize folder pictures

In Windows XP, a folder picture function is added, which provides more picture resources than the original icons for users to choose from. You can use this function to put your favorite photos.

Set the Italian picture as a folder icon by selecting any folder in the browser, right-clicking, selecting the "Properties" command, and selecting the "Customize" tab in the dialog box that opens.

Click the Select Picture button to select a graphic file as the folder picture, click the Change icon button folder icon, and then click OK. In the future, you will be engaged in resource management.

When you choose to view the file as a "thumbnail" in the organizer, you can see the folder picture you defined.

35. Move and copy files quickly

Select the file to move or copy in the Explorer, then drag the file to the destination folder with the right mouse button, and then release the mouse. A menu will pop up, allowing you to choose to copy and move files.

Create a shortcut or even cancel it.
