Fixing damaged systems makes WinXP more stable.

　1. Restore damaged Win XP system files

If Windows XP system files are damaged by viruses or other causes, we can recover the corrupted files from the Windows XP installation disk.

How to: Search for corrupted files in Windows XP installation disk, it should be noted that the last character of the filename is replaced with the bottom line "_", for example: to search for "Notepad.exe" you need to use "notepad.ex_" to search.

After the search has been made, open the command line mode (enter "cmd" in "Run") and enter: "EXPAND the full path to the full path destination file for the source file." For example: EXPAND d:setupnotepad. Ex_ C:windowsnotepad.exe. One thing to note is that if there are spaces in the path, you need to include the paths in double quotes (English quotes).

It's certainly the best to find, but sometimes we can't find the files we need when we search the Windows XP disk. One reason for this is that the file you are looking for is in a "CAB" file. Because Windows XP treats "Cab" as a folder, for Windows XP systems, just drag the "cab" file to the right and copy it to the appropriate directory.

　　2. Reject "Group similar taskbar"

Although the Windows XP "Group similar taskbar button" setting allows you to keep your taskbar open and clean, it is very inconvenient to work with several windows that need to be opened. If you are often using QQ such as communication software and people chat online, if you have more than two friends who are talking to you at the same time, you will immediately feel the inconvenience of XP defaults. Each time you want to switch to a Conversation object, click on the group and then the pop-up menu to select the best friend to talk to, And each friend in the group display is the same icon, the conversation object, you may have to click to see exactly who has replied, waiting for you to respond, and choose the wrong one, and have to start from the group election, very troublesome. Obviously, this is less than the original open a few windows, in the taskbar in each small window click once can start chatting.

How to change: Click the "start → control Panel → appearance and theme → Taskbar and ' Start ' menu", in the pop-up window, the "Group similar taskbar button" option in front of the hook to remove.

Currentversionexploreralwaysunloaddll=dword:1 it to 0, this feature will be turned off. Note: The computer needs to be restarted in order for the settings to take effect.

　　4, clear the Prefetch folder in the pre-read files

When Win XP is used for a period of time, the files in the Prefetch folder become large and there are dead chain files, which slows down the system time. Recommendation: Delete these files periodically. (Windowsprefetch)

　　5. Windows XP Weight Loss method

The following methods for my current win XP weight loss method, after use, feel more safe, the effect is obvious, at least can reduce 300m space. Note: Beginners are not recommended for use.

To delete a driver backup: The Driver.cab file (73MB) in the Windowsdriver cachei386 directory but later we must insert the Windows installation disc each time we install new hardware.

Delete system file backups (generally not used): Run the command line Sfc/purgecache

Delete the alternate DLL file: You can do this if you copy the installation files or have the CD-ROM installed. Windowssystem32dllcache the file (minus 200--300MB).

　　6. Learn about Win XP startup time

Although the Windows XP startup speed has been satisfying, Microsoft still provides us with a small tool for understanding the specific startup time that Windows XP starts, as well as viewing CPU usage, Disk I/O, and so on, because the tool is graphically displayed, So at a glance. This gadget is for everyone to see if it works, I can upload it if needed.

　　7, restore EXE file association

EXE file association error is very troublesome, because this kind of situation is caused by the virus, and anti-virus software main files are exe file, since EXE file association error, how can run get antivirus software? Luckily XP provides command-line tools in Safe mode for us to use, and we can use command-line tools to solve this problem.

Now close the Command Prompt window, press Ctrl+alt+del to bring up the Windows Security window, press the "Shutdown" button, select the "Restart" option, in normal mode when you start Windows, all of the EXE files can be run properly!

　　8, let win XP can automatically update

When Windows has an update, the Automatic Updates system prompts you for Windows upgrades, which, of course, will have a real effect after the Internet. One thing is for sure, if you want to implement Automatic Updates, the system will collect the user's computer information and then send it to the Microsoft site to determine whether you want to upgrade by feedback. This setting is also in the System Properties window, switch to the Automatic Updates tab to see that there are three choices, choose the last "Turn off Automatic Updates", so that the system will not appear often prompted you to automatically update, if you do not use the genuine Windows XP operating system, we recommend that you turn off this feature, Because he may let you upgrade the system to the Windows XP SP2 version without knowing it, which will cause the system to be unstable.
