1, defragment the disk regularly.
The smallest unit of a computer hard disk is a sector, and a file usually occupies several sectors. Whenever the hard disk is used for a long time, after countless times of adding, changing and deleting files, there will be many intermittent sectors, so there will be more and more discontinuous files, and the hard disk head needs to spend more time jumping around to read data, which will lead to the slow down of the hard disk. In view of this, windows will "defragment". As long as "Disk Defragmentation" is performed, all discontinuous files will be rearranged neatly. As for the execution time, it can be executed once a week or so.
2. Delete the scheduled task
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.
A, 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 → Registry Edit → Find "HKEY _ Current _ User \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ Current \ Version \ Run \
MSMSGS "/ Background ",right click → Delete, the world is much quieter. By the way, kill all those cfmon.
B, modify the registry to reduce the waiting time for pre-reading and progress bar. The effect is that the progress bar will enter the login interface after running once. Start → Run →regedit starts the registry editor, and find HKEY _ local _ machine system \ current \ control \ set control \ session manager memory \ management prefetch parameters, and there is a key to EnablePrefetcher to 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 special effects in system properties.
This 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.
5.Windows XP realizes 1 sec shutdown.
The huge Windows XP operating system shuts down very slowly, which takes about 30 ~ 50 seconds. However, if you change the registry options according to the methods provided below, your Windows XP system will shut down soon.
Find the key current user \ control panel \ desktop key, and change WaitToKillAppTimeout to: 1000, that is, just wait 1 second when closing the program.
In addition: how to quickly close the program that has a program error and the system automatically shuts down and stops responding.
A. Change the HungAppTimeout value to: 200, which means that the program will wait for 0.5 seconds when an error occurs.
B, set the AutoEndTasks value to: 1, so that the system can automatically close the program that stops responding.
6. 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 branch of HKEY _ local _ machine \ software \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ Current \ Version \ AE Debug, double-click the name of the Auto key value 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.
7. accelerate the start.
Speed up the startup of Windows XP. You can achieve this goal by modifying the registry. In the registry editor, find HKEY _ local _ machine system CurrentControlSetControlSession to manage PrefetchParameters, find the EnablePrefetcher primary 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.
9. Optimize online neighbors
When using Windows XP, the system will search its own * * * shared directory, which can be used as a printer for the network * *, as well as the planned tasks related to the network, and then it will be displayed, which will obviously be much slower. These functions can be deleted if they are of little use to us. Find the current version of HKEY _ local _ MachinesofWareMicrosoft Windows Explorer Remote Media Space in the Registry Editor, delete (printer) and its {D6277990-4C6A-1/F8D87-00060F5 BF}, restart the computer and access the Internet again.
10, automatic shutdown stop response program
Sometimes Win XP will prompt you that a program stops responding, which is very annoying. By modifying the registry, we can close it ourselves. In HKEY _ Current _ User Control Panel desktop, we can change the numerical data of the character key value of AutoEndTasks to 1, and then log off or restart.
1 1 to speed up the menu display.
In order to speed up the display of the menu, we can set it as follows: we can find the "MenuShowDelay" primary key under the desktop of HKEY _ Current _ User Control Panel and change its value to "0" to speed up the display of the menu.
12. Clear the unused DLL files in the memory.
In hkkey _ local _ machinesoftwindowscurrent version of the registry, add an AlwaysUnloadDLL in Explorer, and the default value is set to 1. Note: If the default value is set to 0, this function will be disabled.
13, speed up the pre-reading ability and improve the boot speed.
Windows XP pre-reading settings can improve the system speed and speed up the boot. According to the following methods, the efficiency of CPU can be further utilized: HKEY _ Local _ Machine System Current Control Settings Control Session Manager.
Memory management], in the window to the right of PrefetchParameters, change the numerical data of EnablePrefetcher as follows. For example, if you use a CPU with PIII 800MHz or above, it is recommended to change the numerical data to 4 or 5, otherwise it is recommended to keep the numerical data as the default value, that is, 3.
Fourth, Windows 2003.
The latest Microsoft operating system is Win Server 2003. Corresponding to the server, now more and more friends have upgraded to Windows 2003. After installation, everyone found that there was no operating system, and some operating systems were troublesome, so there was no function, and the function could not be opened, even listening to songs and playing games became a problem. In fact, Server 2003 strengthened the security and stability on the basis of XP, and had to shut down some workstation systems. We use Win 2003 as a workstation, and of course we have to reopen these services.
1, DirectX acceleration
Windows 2003 has just been installed, and now it is found that many 3D games can't run, only some traditional 2D plane games can barely run, and the speed is very slow. I feel that Windows 2003 runs PhotoShop very quickly, but why can't it run 3D games?
This is not because Windows 2003 does not support 3D games, but because of the system settings. First, make sure that the graphics driver is installed correctly, and then turn on DirectX acceleration. DirectX acceleration is the most basic requirement of 3D games. However, in order to make the application of Windows Server 2003 to the server platform more simple, Microsoft unexpectedly turned off the acceleration function by default. Even if the latest DirectX 9.0 is installed, the acceleration function will not be turned on automatically and must be set manually. Enter "dxdiag" in the Start → Run dialog box to open the DirectX diagnostic tool. Then, the texture acceleration functions of DirectDraw, Direct3D and AGP are enabled in the display bar. In this way, Windows Server 2003 can run various 3D games. In addition, Windows Server 2003 also turns off hardware acceleration by default, and you can set it to full acceleration in the advanced menu of display properties.
2. Close the server wizard.
After installing win 2003, you will find that "Manage your server" appears. Check "Don't show this page when logging in" in the lower left corner. If you can't find it at startup, you can go to Control Panel-Administrative Tools-Manage Your Server to find it.
3. Turn on hardware acceleration
Right-click the desktop, enter Properties-Settings-Advanced-Troubleshooting, and start complete hardware acceleration. A black screen will appear and then return to normal.
4, sound acceleration
Start-Run-Enter dxdiag-Sound, and pull the "hardware acceleration level of sound" to "full acceleration".
6. Improve system performance
Right-click the "My Computer" icon, enter Properties-Advanced-Performance-Settings, and adjust to the best performance.
Step 7 speed up the taskbar
Delete everything except "Keep taskbar in front of other windows" for the following reasons:
Automatically hide the taskbar: avoid finding the taskbar and occupying similar system groups.
Taskbar button: the program is too concentrated to find.
Display clock: If you have a clock, you don't need to use it.
Hide inactive icons: I don't know which applications are used now.
8, improve the desktop display speed
Right-click the desktop to enter the display properties, close the desktop wallpaper and screen saver, and remove all tick marks in the appearance-effect.
9. Accelerate Resource Manager
In Explorer or on my computer, select Tools-Folder Options-General, and then select Use windows Classic Folder.
Remove all options except "Hide protected operating system files" and "Hide extensions of known file types". In particular, the items of "Remember the view settings of each folder", "Display prompt information when mouse points at folders and desktop items" and "Display file size information in folder prompt" were turned off, and the personalized settings were cancelled.
The third is the optimization of resource manager, which adopts the form of "list" and displays the content with the least icons and information. In the toolbar menu, remove the standard buttons and links, these functions can be realized by shortcut keys, and it is useless to leave too many.
10, close the system desktop icon
Right-click on the desktop, select Arrange Icons, remove the checkmark that shows desktop icons, and close all icons, saving a lot of resources.
1 1 and the optimization of IE
IE's interface optimization is basically the same as that of the resource manager, which is to minimize the function bar and only keep the address bar. However, there are many interesting things in the tool-Internet options.
Universal-the homepage that can be changed uses blank pages, and it is very fast without loading any web pages when opening.
Advanced-Multimedia, which removes "Enable automatic image resizing" and directly displays the whole image, reducing the workload of IE.
Browse and remove "Enable offline project synchronization as scheduled". What's the use of going offline today when broadband monthly subscription is so popular?
Remove "use smooth scrolling" and let the navigation bar on the left page quickly turn pages in a normal way.
Remove the "notify after downloading", even if it is downloaded, it will be notified, which is redundant.
Without the "Go button in the address bar", the website we went to was of little use.
Without "automatically checking Internet Explorer updates", manual updates are always faster than automatic updates, and IE does not need to pay attention to whether updates are needed at all times.
14, optimize the system startup item.
Some applications are not loaded through the startup menu, but run directly through the registry. For these programs, we can enter msconfig at the beginning of running and find out the useless options at startup. For example:
Realsched: upgrade options for RealPlayer
Elbycheck: Real-time monitoring of cloning
Qq task: taskbar of QuickTime player
Nero check: check Nero burning software.
Adobe gamma loader: gamma correction of adobe software (photoshop stream).
