1, accelerate the Online Neighborhood
In Windows XP to access the Online Neighborhood is quite annoying, the system will search for their own *** enjoy the directory and can be used as a network *** enjoy the printer as well as the scheduled tasks and network-related scheduled tasks, and then only to show up, obviously, so that the speed of the Windows 9x than in a lot of slower. In fact, we do not use these features, rather than not using them, we should delete them, so that the speed will be significantly faster. Open the Registry Editor, find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/sofeware/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version/Explore/RemoteComputer/NameSpace, delete the {2227A280-3AEA-1069- A2DE08002B30309D} (Printer) and {D6277990-4C6A-11CF8D87- 00AA0060F5BF} (Scheduled Tasks), restart your computer and visit the Online Neighborhood again, and you'll find it's much faster.
2, reduce boot scroll bar time
Every time you start Windows XP, the blue scroll bar has to go up many times, in fact, here we can also reduce its scrolling time to speed up the startup. Open Registry Editor, find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters, and on the right find the EnablePrefetcher primary key and change its default value of 3 to 1 so that the scroll bar will take less time to scroll.
3. Menu display time
To achieve visual realism, the menu in Windows XP will have a slide-out effect when you open it, but this will also slow down the opening speed. We can find in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop under the "MenuShowDelay" key, change its value to "200" (recommended) you can Remove the menu delay effect. Default is "400". Can be set to "0" (not recommended)
4, improve the broadband speed
PRO Professional version of Windows XP retains 20% of the bandwidth by default, in fact, this is for our personal users is not useful. It's better to let it sit idle in particular than to fully utilize it.
Type gpedit.msc in Start → Run to open the Group Policy Editor. Find "Computer Configuration→Administrative Templates→Network→QoS Packet Scheduler", select "Limit Reservable Bandwidth" on the right, and select "Properties" to open the Limit Reservable Bandwidth dialog box. Select "Properties" to open the Limit Reservable Bandwidth Properties dialog box, and then select "Disable". This frees up the reserved bandwidth.
Note: Users of Windows XP Home Edition do not need to change these settings.
5. Automatically close programs that have stopped responding
In Windows XP, this setting allows Windows XP to automatically close an application when it detects that it has stopped responding, without the need for troublesome manual intervention. To do this, click "Start" → "Run" and type "RegEdit" to open the registry editor, find HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel USER\Control Panel\Desktop branch, set the AutoEndTasks key value to 1.
6, turn off the "Internet Time Synchronization" function
"Internet Time Synchronization" is to make your computer clock once a week and Internet time servers to synchronize. So your system time will be accurate, but this function is not very useful to us, and may also cause the problem of crash. Generally, just synchronize the time once after installing Windows XP. So we need to turn it off. To do this, click Start/Control Panel/Date, Time, Language, and Regional Options, and then click Date and Time/Internet Time.
7, turn off the "automatically send a bug report" function
Everyone in Window XP certainly have such an experience, once a program is terminated abnormally, the system will automatically pop up a dialog box to ask you whether the error will be sent to Microsoft, which is XP in the "automatically send a bug" function
The "automatically send a bug" function
The "automatically send a bug" function is not a good idea, but a good idea. This is XP's "Send Error Automatically" feature, which can send error messages to Microsoft's Web site. Although Microsoft has repeatedly sworn that it can provide strong security and will not disclose personal privacy, but the information sent to Microsoft may contain information about the document you are browsing or editing, which may contain personal privacy or company secrets, therefore, if you want to protect your own rights, we should have no choice but to turn off this feature. The method is: Click "Start / Control Panel / System / Advanced", click the "Error Reporting" button, and then check the "Disable Error Reporting", the following "But notify me when serious errors occur" can be checked.
8. Setting up pre-reading for speed
Windows XP uses a new technique called pre-reading settings to improve system speed. If your computer configuration is good, with PIII 800, 512M RAM or more, you can make the following changes: Click "Start/Run", type "regedit", open the registry, find [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE---SYSTEM_SYSTEM_SYSTEM_SYSTEM_SYSTEM_SYSTEM_SYSTEM_SYSTEM_SYSTEM_SYSTEM_Read". MACHINE---SYSTEM----CurrentControlSet---Control----SessionManager---Memory Management---PrefetchParameters----EnablePrefetcher], set the Value 0,1,2,3 (0-Disable,1-Pre-read the application,2-Start Pre-read,3-Both), we recommend to use "3", it can reduce the startup time.
8.1, clear the preview file
When Windows XP use for a period of time, the installation directory of the preview folder (C: Windows\prefetch) in the file will become very large, there will be dead links inside the file, which will slow down the system time, it is recommended that you regularly delete these files
9, the use of the CPU L2 Cache to speed up the performance of the whole machine
In [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE]-> [SYSTEM]-> [CurrentControlSet]-> [Control]-> [SessionManager], in [[MemoryManagement]], in the [[L2]], you can find the L2 cache. MemoryManagement] in the right window, will be [SecondLevelDataCache] value data change to the same decimal value with the CPU L2Cache: For example: P4 1.6G A L2 Cache for 512Kb, the value data change to the decimal value of 512.
10, shut down the computer
When shutting down your computer, sometimes a nasty dialog box pops up to remind you that a program is still running and to end the task. In fact, it is entirely possible to let Windows automatically end these still running programs through a little modification. Open the HKEY_CURRENT_USERControl PanelDesktop directory in the registry and change the AugoEndTasks key to 1.
Note: You may not be able to find the AutoEndTasks key, in which case you can create a string and change it to this name, with the value set to 1. It will work.
11. Turn off Dr. Watson
Click "Start/Run" and enter the command "drwtsn32" or "Start/All Programs/Accessories". /System Tools/System Information/Tools/Dr Watson" to bring up Dr. Watson on your system, and only keep the "Dump all thread context" option, otherwise the hard drive will take a long time to read and take up a lot of space once the program goes wrong. If this has happened before, look for the user.dmp file and delete it to save a couple dozen MB of space.
12, reduce the disk scanning waiting time
WindowsXP, although claimed to be stable, but not never die, and occasionally will give you a blue face, illegal operation of the system will automatically scan, appear a large section of the E text, telling you that the system just now is not the normal end of the system, and now you need to check if there is an error, but you have to wait for some time before starting, so we Under dos, you can type "chkntfs/t:0" to indicate a wait time of 0 seconds.
13, Win XP weight loss
1. Delete system file backup sfc.exe /purgecache.
2. Delete the Driver.cab file (73mb) in the driver backup windows/driver cache/i386 directory.
(3). Delete the Help file (minus 40+mb).
(4). Delete the /WINDOWS/system32/ dllcache file (minus 200 - 300mb), this is a spare dll file, as long as you have copied the installation files, it is perfectly fine to do so.
(5) delete /windows/ime under the unused input method (Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese input method, 84.5MB)
14, shutdown automatically shut down the stop responding to the program
[HKEY_USERS]-->[.DEFAULT]-->[COntrol Panel], and then in [.DEFAULT]-->[COntrol Panel], and then in [.DEFAULT]-->[COntrol Panel].
[HKEY_USERS]-->[.DEFAULT]-->[COntrol Panel] -->[Desktop] right window to change the value of [AutoEndTasks] to "1"
1.Speed up shutdown
Windows XP's shutdown speed is slower than the startup, and some tasks need to be manually terminated to delay the shutdown speed. Therefore, in order to speed up the shutdown speed, the first thing you need to do is to enable Windows XP's automatic end-of-task function. The specific steps are: from the registry to find "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop", the "AutoEndTasks" key value set to 1 can be.
Then change "HungAppTimeout" to "4000 (or less)" (preset to 5000), which is also in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop". _USER\Control Panel\Desktop"; in the last step, find "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\", and also change "WaitToKillService" to "4000 (or smaller)" (preset to 5000), which is also under "HKEY_CURRENT\USER\Control Panel\Desktop". WaitToKillServiceTimeout set to "4000"; through this setting after the shutdown speed is obviously to speed up.
2. Cancel XP support for ZIP
Windows XP by default opens the zip file support, which takes up a certain amount of system resources, you can choose "Start ?ú Run", in the "Run" dialog box, type "Run". dialog box, type "regsvr32 /u zipfldr.dll", enter to confirm that you can cancel the XP support for ZIP decompression, thus saving system resources.
3. Enhance system cache
Also in the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\" location. "location, under the "LargeSystemCache" key value from 0 to 1, Windows XP will be in addition to 4M of system memory is allocated to all the file system cache, so that XP's kernel can be run in memory, greatly improving the speed of the system. .
In general, this optimization will result in a considerable increase in system performance, but it may also result in lower performance for some applications. Note that you must have more than 256M of RAM to activate LargeSystemCache for it to have a positive effect, otherwise do not modify it.
4. Turn off automatic restart
When Windows XP encounters a serious problem, it will suddenly restart, which can be canceled from the registry. Open the registry editor, find "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CrashControl\" will AutoReboot key Dword value to 0, restart the The settings will take effect after reboot.
5. Modify the registry to reduce pre-reading, reduce the time waiting for the progress bar
Windows XP will have a progress bar during the startup process, we can modify the registry so that the progress bar only runs one lap to enter the login screen.
Select the "Run" command in the "Start" menu and type "regedit" in the "Run" dialog box. PrefetchParameters, select the EnablePrefetcher key under it and change its value to "1".
6. Reduce boot disk scanning wait time
When a reboot caused by an abnormal shutdown or crash is recorded in the Windows log, the system automatically runs a disk scanning program at boot time. By default, it waits 10 seconds before scanning each partition. If you have to wait 10 seconds for each partition to start the scanning process, plus the time it takes for the scanning itself, it will take quite a long time to complete the boot process. In this case we can set the wait time for disk scanning to be canceled, or even disable scanning for a particular partition.
Select "Start→Run" and type "chkntfs /t:0" in the Run dialog box to set the disk scanning wait time to 0. If you want to ignore scanning a partition, such as the C drive, when the computer starts up, you can Enter the "chkntfs /x c:" command; if you want to resume scanning the C drive, you can use the "chkntfs /d c:" command, which will restore all chkntfs default settings, except for the countdown for automatic file checking.
7. Bootvis
Bootvis is a boot optimization tool provided by Microsoft to improve the boot speed of Windows XP.
To improve Windows XP boot speed with BootVis, you must follow the correct sequence of operations, otherwise it will not have the effect of speeding up. The correct way to do this is as follows:
Start BootVis, select the "Options" command under the "Tools" menu from the main window (Figure 2), and type BootVis in the "Symbol Path" field. From the main window (Figure 2), select the "Options" command under the "Tools" menu, type in the "Symbolic Path" for the path where Bootvis is installed, such as "C:\Program Files\Bootvis", and click "Save" to exit.
Select the "Next Boot" command from the "Trace" menu to bring up the "Repeat Trace" dialog box. "Clicking the OK button will cause BootVis to reboot Windows XP, and the default reboot time is 10 seconds.
After the system is restarted, BootVis automatically starts to run and record the boot process, generates a BIN file related to the boot process, and automatically names this record file TRACE_BOOT_1_1. After the program records the boot process file, it will restart the BootVis main interface, and selects the file it just generated from the "File "menu and select the boot process file "TRACE_BOOT_1_1".
The window will show "CPU> Usage", "Disk I/O", "Disk Usage", "Drivers Latency" and several other specific examples for us to analyze, but it is best to let the BootVis program to automatically analyze: from the "Trace" menu, select the "System Optimization" command, the program will restart the computer again, and analyze the boot process file. The program will reboot the computer again and analyze the boot process files to make the computer boot faster.
