Three Win98 registry applications

1. How to delete excess DLL files

There are a large number of DLL files in the System subdirectory of WIN98, which may be shared by the System or application. However, because the software is often installed and uninstalled, some DLL junk files will be left in the System directory. They not only occupy hard disk space, but also reduce the operating speed of the system. Follow these steps:
1. Run REGEDIT to open the Registry Editor.
2. Open
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionSharedDLLs branch.
The SharedDLLs subkey records the DLL information shared by the program. The key value of each DLL file indicates that it has been shared by several applications. If the binary key value is "00 00 00 00", it indicates that it is not shared by any program. In addition, "0x00000001 1)" is a hexadecimal notation)
3. Delete the corresponding file in the System directory.

2. Remove the arrow of the desktop shortcut

During the installation process of some programs, the shortcut of the program will be automatically created on the desktop to facilitate our use. But the small arrow is not very nice. We can modify the Registry to remove it. First of all, pay attention to the type of this shortcut, generally with. LNK majority, there are also some is. PIF pointing to the MS-DOS program shortcut ). The procedure is as follows:
1. Run the Registry Editor to open the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTlnkfile branch.
2. Find a key value named "IsShortcut" under the lnkfile subkey, which indicates that a small arrow is displayed on the. LNK shortcut icon on the desktop. Right-click "IsShortcut" and select "delete" from the pop-up menu to delete the key value.
3. Close Registry Editor and restart Win98 to find that there is no small arrow on the shortcut icon.
Similarly, for the small arrow on the shortcut that points to the MS-DOS program, namely, the. PIF) icon, except for opening the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTpiffile branch, the others are the same as above.
