Do you think Windows XP is bloated? Don't worry, you can make your XP slimmer by the following methods.
1. Delete the system file backup sfc.exe/Purge cache.
2. Delete the Driver.cab file (73mb) in the windows/driver cache/i386 directory backed up by the driver.
3. Cancel the system restore.
4. Delete the help file (minus 40 mb).
5. Delete the file /WINDOWS/system32/ dllcache (minus 200——300mb), which is a spare dll file. As long as you copy the installation file, you can do it completely.
6. Transfer my files and IE temporary folders to other hard disks (partitions).
7. Transfer the virtual memory to another hard disk.
8. Install the application software on other hard disks (this is also conducive to reinstalling the system).
9. Delete the input method that is not used under /windows/ime! (Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese Input Method, 84.5MB)
10. If you install xp with ntfs, you will save hard disk.
Manually optimize your XP to the fastest ~
1。 Automatically end the task when turning off the computer:
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, with a little modification, you can let Windows automatically end these programs that are still running. Open HKEY _ Current _ User \ Control Panel \ Desktop directory in the registry, and change the key value of AugoEndTasks to 1.
2。 Internet time synchronization
If you use time synchronization ~ then your computer will check with the online time server at regular intervals, wasting some memory. It is recommended to turn it off, because the time deviation will be almost good when your computer starts to adjust the time. Start of closing mode → control panel → date and time language and regional options → date and time → Internet time closing synchronization ~
3。 Turn off the fast user switching function.
A striking function of WIN XP is called "fast switching", which allows many users to use computers at the same time, but this function also consumes a certain amount of memory. If your memory is installed with 64M WIN XP, this function will be automatically disabled ~ It will be a bit too much for users of 128M, so it is suggested to close the ~ Method Control Panel → User Account → Change the user login or logout mode and remove the use of fast user switching ~
4。 Speed up menu display.
Open the Registry Editor, find HKEY _ Current _ User \ Control Panel \ Desktop, and change the MenuShowDelay item (400) below it to 0, and your menu will be unexpectedly fast.
5。 Delete system backup
XP system will automatically record some key information of hardware configuration and registry. Actually, we don't need this at all. When the system crashes, we can completely restore the system by backing up a large number of GHOST in advance. Delete system file backup, start → run → enter sfc.exe/purgecache and press enter (save 300MB+ ~).
Ditto is the driver of XP system backup. Delete the Driver.cab file (73mb) in the windows\drivercache\i386 directory.
We can usually delete *. Dll files automatically backed up by the system. He can delete the file (minus 200-300mb) under \WINDOWS\system32\dllcache (this is a spare DLL file, so long as the installation file is copied, it is completely possible. In this case, you have nothing to say
6。 Delete WINDOWS XP help files
XP system comes with very detailed help files to help you better understand various new functions and configurations of XP system, so that you can do better (if you don't know WINDOWS yet, please don't delete the help files).
7。 System variable setting
Transfer my documents and IE temporary folder to another disk (partition). At the same time, it is good for the speed of the system and the hard disk.
If you use a dual system, it is best to put the IE temporary files of the two systems in the same folder, which will speed up and save space.
Transfer virtual memory to another disk. (Just put these things and the temporarily downloaded files in a small partition, which is also convenient for sorting out the hard disk.)
Install the application software on other disks (this is also good for reinstalling the system and can save a lot of things).
8。 Delete redundant input methods and redundant language types.
Delete the input method that is not used under \windows\ime! (Japanese, Korean, traditional Chinese input method, 84.5MB) (which is which? Find out for yourself! Sometimes you have to use your brain. Do some exercise! )
Delete unnecessary input methods
Right-click the input method icon in the lower right corner of the desktop to delete unnecessary input methods. Everyone knows this, but look at the empty hard disk.
Time has not decreased. Why? It turns out that Windows didn't delete the files related to the input method, but we had to delete them.
Delete it manually by yourself. The following is a list of files related to the input method included with Windows:
Full spell: Winpy.ime, Winpy.mb, Winpy.hlp, Winpy.cnt
Double spelling: Winsp.ime, Winsp.mb, Winsp.hlp, Winsp.cnt
Micro spelling: Pintllime.dll, Pintlgab.imd, Pintlgai.imd, Pintllgb. IMD，Pintlgd.imd，Pintlgie.imd，Pintlgnt.cnt，Pintlgnt.hlp，Pintlgnt.i96，Pintlgnt.ime，Pintlgrb.imd，Pintlgri.imd，Pintlgs.imd，Pintlgsi.imd，Pintlgsx.imd，Pintlgu.imd，Pintlguc.imd， Pintlphr.exe .
Intelligent ABC:Winabc.cwd, Abcsda.dll, Abcwin.exe, Winabc.ime, Winabc.ovl, tmmr.rem, user.rem, Winabc.hlp, Winabc.cnt
Zheng code: Winzm.ime, Winzm.mb, Winzm.hlp, Winzm.cnt
Internal code input methods: Wingb.mb, Wingb.hlp, Wingb.cnt
Table codes: Winbx.mb, Winbx.ime, Winbx.hlp, Winbx.cnt
9。 Turn off redundant system reporting
If your system crashes and you find your hard disk loud, it's because windowsXP is writing a dump file, which is useless to us. Can you still send this error to Microsoft? ~ it's completely unnecessary. What if I turn it off? ~ Click on my computer → Properties → Advanced → Startup and fault recovery → Settings → If the system fails, only choose automatic restart, not debugging information.
10。 Delete * * * Enjoy Documents: By default, when I open my computer in Windows XP, I will see some folders above the hard disk icon. These are "* * * Shared Folders", and there are folders for everyone to enjoy files. These folders are particularly annoying and unnecessary. We can make these folders disappear in my computer: open the registry editor and delete HKEY _ Local _ Machine \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ Current Version \ Explorer \ My Computer \ Namespace \ {59031a47-3f72-4a7-89c5-5595fe6b30ee} under the Delegate folder, open my computer next time.
1 1。 Shorten the waiting time of program response
Open registry editor
Find HKEY _ local _ machine \ system \ current control set \ control, and set WaitToKillServiceTimeout to: 1000 or less (original setting: 20000).
Find the HKEY _ Current _ User \ Control Panel \ Desktop key, and change the WaitToKillAppTimeout in the right window to 1000 (original setting: 20000), that is, just wait for 1 second when closing the program. Change the HungAppTimeout value to: 200 (original setting value: 5000), which means waiting for 0.5 seconds when the program makes an error.
12。 The system speeds up the manual identification of cpu secondary cache to improve cpu performance: find "[HKEY _ local _ machine \ system \ current control set \ control \ session manager \ memory management \ secondleveldatacache]"; Modify its decimal system:
AMD duron: 64 (kb);
Celerona/Celerona 2:128;
PII/PIII E(EB)/P4/AMD K6-3/AMD Thunderbird/Cyrix III: 256;
AMD K6-2/PII/PIII Katmai /AMD Athlon: 512;
PII Xeon /PIII Xeon:1024;
Modify the disk cache to speed up xp. Disk cache plays a vital role in xp operation, but the default I/O page file is conservative. [HKEY _ local _ machine \ system \ current control set \ control \ session manager \ memory management \ iopagelocklimit];
Modify its hexadecimal value according to your memory:
64M: 1000；
128m:4000；
256m: 10000；
More than 5 12M: 40000.
Pre-reading setting improves the speed, and xp adopts the new technology of pre-reading setting to improve the system speed. [HKEY _ LOCAL _ MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ current Control set \ Control \ Session Manager \ Memory Management \ prefetch parameters \ EnablePrefetcher]；
Set the value to 0, 1, 2,3. 0- Disable, 1- Read ahead the application, 2- Start reading ahead, 3- Read ahead both ("3", recommended). Of course, if you want to be quick, you can choose 0.
13。 Let the system automatically shut down the program that stops responding.
Open the HKEY _ Current _ User \ Control Panel \ Desktop key in the registry and set the AutoEndTasks value to 1. (Original setting value: 0)
MsConfig. Most friends should be familiar with MsConfig, which is a built-in Windows installation tool.
Click the Start menu, select Run, and then type msconfig in the input box and press enter. What we need to do is tamper with the label. Click it. This tab shows all programs that were running when Windows started. There are no life-and-death programs for Windows, so you can delete unnecessary programs at will. After removing some checkmarks, Windows will start faster and there will be more idle system resources.
14。 System stability optimization setting.
Turn off the debugger, Dr. Watson; ;
Dr.Watson is a self-contained system maintenance tool, which will be displayed when the program fails to load or crashes. Run drwtsn32 to delete everything except "Dump all thread contexts". Otherwise, once a program goes wrong, the hard disk will ring for a long time and take up a lot of space. If you have encountered this situation before, please find the user.dmp file to delete, which may save tens of MB of space.
15。 The system repair, maintenance and shutdown of "System Restore" started with WIN2000, and DOS operating system has not been attached to WIN, but it is a system restore method. Of course, this method is simple and suitable for users who don't know much about DOS, but it does waste a lot of disk space and memory space. The way to turn off system restore is to right-click "My Computer" on the desktop and select "Properties" to find "System Restore". If you can use DOS to repair the system, you can save a lot of space.
Turn off hibernation support: Because hibernation takes up a lot of hard disk space, it is best to turn it off. Console->; Power options-> Hibernate (don't tick) Turning off hibernation can save some hard disk space and memory.
18。 Modify the login background mode of Windows XP
You may get tired of the monotonous login mode for a long time. We can change it to your favorite pattern through the registration form. The steps are as follows: Open the Registry Editor and find the subbranch of HKEY _ user. Default \ Control Panel \ Desktop, double-click wallpaper, enter the path of your selected picture, for example: C: \ Documents and Settings \ My Documents \ MyPIC.bmp, click OK, then find Tilewallpaper, double-click it, enter the key value "1", and restart the system to see the effect.
25。 Compressing folders is a very good optimization. Windows XP has built-in. ZIP file, so we can browse the zip file as a folder. But the system needs to use some resources to realize this function, so disabling this function can improve the system performance. The implementation method is simple, just cancel the registration of zipfldr.dll, click Start-Run, and enter: regsvr32/u zipfldr.dll. Then get into the car.
28。 Quick Shutdown or Restart Shortcut (Timeable)
Click the right mouse button on the desktop, select a new shortcut, and enter the location in the pop-up wizard: C: Windows System32Shutdown. Exe -s -t 10 (where -s can be changed to -r, which means restart, and -t 10 means delay 10 second, which can be changed according to your own needs). After creating this shortcut, specify an icon for it according to the above method. This fast shutdown or restart technology will display a beautiful dialog box to prompt shutdown (restart). You can add "-c" after it, I want to shut down! "",so this sentence will be displayed in the dialog box. Of course, you can write the text at will, but be careful not to exceed 127 characters.
29。 It is also recommended to use GHOST to back up the system ~
It is suggested to use XPlite to slim down WINDOWSXP and delete those WINDOWS group files that you think are useless and cannot be deleted.
Most of the above operations come from computer magazines. I have tested them myself, which is safe and reliable. Hehe, take your time:)
