Windows2000 overall Optimization (ii)

"Overclocking" mouse

In Windows 2000, the settings for the mouse are expanded to be rich. Turn on the Start/Settings/Control Panel/mouse/hardware/Advanced settings to see the following Mouse Properties control Panel.

At the sample rate, you can increase or decrease the mouse sampling rate at 20Hz per unit, which ranges from 20Hz to 100Hz. Selecting the highest possible sample rate will make your mouse more responsive. Note, however, that if the system becomes unstable after you change to a number, try lowering the sampling rate one block.

Remove unnecessary system sounds

Many friends like to use the dubbing scheme, so that their computer in the completion of a certain event to issue a ding-ding sound, this is to bring some convenience, but also occupy a certain amount of system resources. It's easy to turn off this feature. Click "Start/Setup/Control Panel/Sound and Multimedia/" in the option "silent" in the scheme.

Purge Event Log

Event Viewer can log programs, security, and system events into the journal files. For example, conflicts between programs can be recorded. You can use Event Viewer to view and manage event logs to obtain hardware and software problems, or to monitor security events for Windows 2000.

Click on the Start/Setup/Control Panel/admin Tools/Event Viewer, right-click on the "Application Log", "Security Log", "System log", click Delete, the dialog box will appear to ask you whether to save the log file, if you want to save then click "Yes", if you do not want to click "No".

Remove POSIX support

POSIX is both the abbreviation for Portable operating System interface, and POSIX is one of the standards developed by IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronic, Inc.). The majority of POSIX standards are ISO organizations (International standarisation Organisation: ISO) and IEC (International electrotechnical Commission: International electronical Commission) adopted. In short, POSIX provides the same APIs for applications under different platforms. An excellent application that fully complies with POSIX standards will be fully compatible with UNIX and Windows, which can run the same way under both operating systems. But generally this thing is not useful for most individual users. So if you want to get rid of POSIX support, follow these steps to achieve this:

Enter the C:\winnt\system32 folder, OS2.exe, OS2SS.exe, PSXSS. EXE and POSIX.exe were changed to Os2.xxx, Os2ss.xxx, Psxss.xxx, posix.xxx.

Hard Drive settings

Today's hard disk is generally supported by DMA (direct Memory access: directly memory access) mode, so make sure that your DMA drive (either dma33/66/100) can work properly in DMA mode to ensure that your system works at a higher efficiency.

Start DMA Mode--click on "Start/setup/Control Panel/System/Hardware/Device Manager" and click "IDE ATA/ATAPI Controller", right-click Primary IDE Channel, select "Properties/Advanced Settings" in "Transfer Mode" to select DMA (if available). When prompted to restart the computer, you should be able to see the DMA in current transfer mode the next time you open the interface.

Turn off Indexing Service

Indexing Service is the indexing of the contents and attributes of files located on the local storage hard disk and the network hard disk to facilitate query management. But this feature is quite resource-intensive, as it requires constant monitoring of the system's movements, and the results of each file change are documented.

The way to turn off this feature is to open My computer, right-click the appropriate hard drive partition icon, select Properties, remove the hook before the "Allow Indexing Service to index the disk to quickly search for files" option, click "Apply", It will appear whether the attribute is applied only to the root directory of the partition or to the subfolders and files underneath it. Select Apply changes to < letter >:\, subfolders, and files. Then click OK, and wait for the system to do its own processing.
