Eight security policies for Windows XP

Windows XP attracts a large number of users with its superior stability and reliable security. The author in the "Contact" with Windows XP, carefully pay attention to some security aspects of the operation of the strategy, now put it in order to draw a paper.

1, shielding unwanted service components

Although the more service components are installed, the more service functionality users can enjoy. However, the service components that users usually use are still limited after all, and those few use of components not only occupy a lot of system resources, will cause system instability, it will also provide a variety of remote intrusion hackers, for this reason we should try to put those temporarily do not need to shield off the service components. The way to do this is to first locate the services and Applications icon in the Control Panel. Then, open the Services dialog box, select the program that you want to mask, right-click, and choose Properties/Stop from the pop-up shortcut menu, and set Startup type to Manual, or you can also Disabled so that the specified service component can be masked.

2, the Power protection function

When using a computer to process a file, the most worrying thing is that the computer suddenly drops power, because this sudden power off will not only make the fruits of their hard work vanish instantly, serious words can also damage the computer. In order to prevent accidental power off in various situations and ensure the safety of calculation, we should enable the function of asking for or sleeping directly when the power button is pressed in power management. If you want to start the Power Protection feature, you can click "My Computer"/"Control Panel"/"Power Options" on the Windows XP desktop by clicking on it, select the "Advanced" tab in the Pop-up Settings box, and locate the "Press the Computer power button" setting under the corresponding tab page. Then choose Hibernate or ask me what to do in the settings box, and if you choose the Shutdown option, the Power Protection feature is not available.

3, the important information to encrypt

To prevent others from using their computers to peek at the file information they store on their computers, Windows XP deliberately provides us with a "File and folder Encryption" feature that allows us to encrypt important information stored in the computer. This allows other users to access the contents of a file or folder without a password. When encrypting a file, we first open the Windows XP Resource Manager, then locate the file or folder that needs to be encrypted in the Explorer Action window, and then right-click the selected file or folder, select Properties from the pop-up shortcut menu, and then Windows XP will eject the File Encryption dialog box, click the General tab in the dialog box, and then select Advanced/encrypt content to protect the data.

4. Lock your computer

If in the process of using a computer because of urgent need to leave the computer for a short time, many people worry about their own computer will be occupied by others, often take the first shutdown, and then leave, and then back to the boot method to deal with, but this frequent switch machine is unfavorable to the computer. Is there any way we can do that without shutting down and preventing others from using their own computers? Yes, of course. You can quickly lock the keyboard and monitor by double-clicking the desktop shortcut without using the Ctrl+alt+del key combination or screen saver. When you lock your computer, you can follow these steps: Right-click the Windows XP desktop, select New/Shortcut in the right-click menu, and then follow the on-screen prompts to enter the Rundll32.exe in the command line text box. User32.dll,lockworkstation command character, and then enter a specific name for the shortcut in the wizard window that follows, where you can name the shortcut "lock Computer" directly for later invocation. In the future, you can only double-click the "Lock Computer" on your desktop to achieve the goal of locking.
