Windows XP is the next generation of Microsoft's Windows operating system, although Windows XP is the most powerful operating system ever, but, like the previous Windows operating system, the newly installed Windows XP system is not in the best state, There are programs that users don't have to use or use. You can use some techniques to modify the original set of values to optimize Windows XP. Here are a few ways to illustrate the optimizations that Windows XP makes.
A Start optimization
1. Turn off some programs and resident programs that are accompanied by Windows startup. Select the Start menu--> "Run", enter the Msconfig into the "System Configuration Application", in the [start] bar to turn off unnecessary programs, the box to cancel the tick, turn off unnecessary programs, uncertain procedures can not be disorderly, so as not to cause Windows errors. (Try the software itself to remove the resident, no longer use this method.) ), after the completion of the [application], the reboot can be.

2, to Windows XP set a fixed IP address. While Windows XP is getting to the desktop at a fairly fast pace, the action is step-by-step, and you have to wait a while to actually run the program. If your machine has a network card, Windows XP will automatically search for IP address after entering the desktop, so if you don't set a fixed IP address, it will waste a lot of time searching the IP address.
3, reduce disk scan time. If Windows XP is not shut down properly, the system will automatically perform ScanDisk when it starts again. It will take 10 seconds to wait before starting the scan. You can then open the Start → Run dialog box and type CMD, and then click the OK button to enter the Windows XP command prompt mode. Entering "chkntfs/t:x" at the command prompt (without quotes and x as a wait time), such as entering "chkntfs/t:0", means no wait time, and "chkntfs/t:3" means the wait time is 3 seconds.
4, reduce the operating system waiting time. If you have multiple operating systems installed, the default wait time in the multiple operating system boot menu is 30 seconds. Click on "My Computer" and select the System Properties dialog box. Click the Advanced tab, click the Settings button in the Startup and recovery area, and check the checkbox before the "Show operating system list" and "Time to show recovery options when needed" option in the Settings page. then enter the corresponding values for the time after these two items to reduce the wait time, and click OK.
In addition to the above four methods, we can also set up the startup project in the registry, the shutdown of unnecessary system services, in addition to often use the Disk Cleanup tool, Disk Defragmenter can also be a program to improve the speed of the system to boot.
Two Landing optimization
1, shorten the shutdown "handler" when the wait time. Select the Start menu--> "Run", enter regedit, eject Registry Editor, look for [hkey_current_user\controlpanel\desktop], and select Waittokillapptimeout in the right window , press the right mouse button, select Modify, change its numeric data to 1000, and wait 1 seconds when you close the handler (the default is: 20000).

2, shorten the "handler" when the error waiting time. Select the Start menu--> "Run", enter Regedit pop-up Registry Editor, look for [hkey_current_user\controlpanel\desktop] in the right window, select Hungapptimeout, press the right mouse button, Select Modify to change its numeric data to 200, that is, wait 0.5 seconds for a handler error (the default is: 5000).
3, let the system automatically shut down the program to stop responding. Select the Start menu--> "Run", enter regedit, eject Registry Editor, look for [hkey_current_user\controlpanel\desktop], select Autoendtasks in the right window, and press the right mouse button, Select Modify to change its numeric data to 1 (the default value is: 0).
4, speed up the menu display. Select the Start menu--> "Run", enter regedit, eject Registry Editor, look for [hkey_current_user\controlpanel\desktop], select Menushowdelay in the right window, and press the right mouse button, Select "Modify" to change its numerical data to 100 or smaller (the default is: 400), it is recommended not to use 0, because so as long as the mouse accidentally touched "All Programs", the entire menu will run out, that this messy set.
5, shorten the waiting time. Select the Start menu--> "Run", enter Regedit, and look for [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control] in the pop-up Registry Editor. Select WaitToKillServiceTimeout in the right window by right-clicking and choosing Modify to change its numerical data to 1000 or smaller (original set: 20000).
Three Memory optimization
Windows XP is an excellent operating system, but its memory requirements are staggering, even if it is 128 megabytes of memory, there is a problem of low system memory causing slow speed. In Windows XP, a lot of new features have been added, these features but the memory of the large footprint, as long as we turn off these infrequently used features, then 128 trillion memory for us is more than enough.
1, Cancel "Automatic Updates", Automatic Updates to remind users to upgrade their own system, it will be resident memory, so we have "automatic upgrade" function off, instead of "manual upgrade." The specific action is: Right click "My Computer", click the attribute, click "Automatic Update", in "Notification Settings" column Select "Turn off Automatic Updates."
2, Cancel "System Restore", XP System Restore function for most users, nothing much, so we decided to close it to save memory. The specific actions are: Right click "My Computer", click the attribute, will bounce out System Properties dialog box, click "System Restore", in "Turn off System Restore on all drives" option on tick.
3, turn off "Remote Desktop", this function of XP is only to provide interoperability on the network. This feature is redundant for the average user, so we turn it off and don't let it waste memory there.
4, turn off the "Automatic send Error" function, send error to Microsoft, this is the "Automatic send Error" feature in XP, for us to send errors to Microsoft does not make any sense, so we should not hesitate to turn this feature off. Right-click on "My Computer", click on the properties, click "Advanced" → "Error Reporting", select the "Disable Error Reporting" feature.
5, turn off the "visual effects" of unwanted effects, Windows XP interface is really good-looking, good-looking behind is to consume a lot of memory as the price, relative to the speed and beauty, we prefer to choose the former, right click on "My Computer", click on the properties, click "Advanced", in the "performance" In the column, click "Settings", click "Visual Effects", where all the special appearance settings are turned off, we can save "a large amount" of memory.
6, turn off the "Internet Time Synchronization" feature, "Internet time Synchronization" is to make your computer clock weekly and Internet time server synchronization, so that your system time will be accurate, but this function for us is not very useful, It may also cause a panic problem. So we're going to turn it off.
7. Turn off redundant services, Windows XP and Windows 20,001 can act as HTTP services, SMTP services, FTP services, and these services are resident memory, so when Windows XP starts, many services are started, There are a lot of services that are completely useless for our average users, so it's a good choice to turn them off.
Four Hard Drive optimization
1, using NTFS file system format installation. The file system for Windows XP NTFS has more file secrecy, compression, usage rights, and disk quota management capabilities than FAT32. Therefore, it is FAT32 higher in file security and confidentiality. and an operating system installed under the NTFS file system compresses infrequently used files, so it saves considerable space compared to FAT32, so if the operating system installed under the FAT32 file system (such as Windows98 ...) You may not be able to read the files in NTFS correctly.
In addition, the more information is installed in the sector, NTFS is more efficient than FAT32 file system in running. It is therefore recommended that you use the NTFS file system to install the Windows XP system.
2, the IDE device set to DMA transfer mode. For some reason, Windows XP sometimes uses PIO parallel input and output transfer mode on the IDE channel instead of DMA mode. If this is the case, the user can manually change the IDE channel to DMA mode, which reduces the CPU cycles that the device occupies. Open Device Manager (right click on My Computer, select Properties, click on the Hardware tab, TAP Device Manager to open), and then click to expand the IDE ATA/ATAPI Controller branch, double-click Primary IDE Channel, and click Advanced Settings. Check the "transfer Mode" Pull-down menu and set them all to DMA If Available (DMA allowed), click OK. Modify each IDE controller in the same way.

3, delete the Web page cache content. Go to Control Panel, double-click Internet Options to go to Internet properties, click "Delete Files" under "Temporary Internet Files" in [General], and tick "Delete all offline content" and press "OK".
In addition, there is also a [historical record] (History) also in [General] deleted by the way. Delete some TEMP scratch disks: Like "E:\WINDOWS\TEMP" (Note: My XP is on E disk.) ), "E:\DocumentsandSettings\ (user name) \localsettings\temp" and some software-specific Temp (most of which should be set in the software itself) are also deleted.
4, the regular disk finishing. Long-term use of hard disk, the program software installation and deletion of the case, will be as a continuous file fragmentation in the sector, so that the hard disk in the search for information, it will take more time to affect the effectiveness. So it is absolutely necessary to do the work of disk sorting regularly. This time Windows XP has made significant progress in the Windows98 of disk-finishing, at least not as much time as before, if the user is too bad for Windows itself, you can use Norton's SpeedDisk.
Five Network optimization
1, fast browsing the local area network sharing
Typically, when Windows XP connects to other computers, it checks all the scheduled tasks on the other computer, which allows you to wait 30 seconds or more. The removed method finds "Hkey_local_machinesoftwaremicrosoftwindowscurrent Versionexplorerremotecomputernamespace" from the registry.
Under this key value, there will be a {D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF} key, delete it, restart the computer, Windows XP will no longer check the scheduled task, the speed will be significantly improved.
2, improve the transmission rate of 10/100m network card
Select start → connect to → show all connections, double-click the connection used by the network card, click the Properties button, open the Properties dialog box, and select the Advanced tab. Select Link Speed/duplex mode in the properties column, and then change "Auto mode" to "Half mode" in the Set Value column.
In this way, manually 10/100m the properties of the Adaptive Network card to the 10M Half-duplex mode, so that the network card does not automatically negotiate between the network card in the transmission of data always at 10Mbps speed, greatly improve the transmission efficiency between the network. This setting is only valid for some network adapters.
3. Speed up sharing
Typically, when Windows XP connects to another computer, it checks all scheduled tasks on the other side-it's superfluous, and it's too bad that you wait 30 seconds. First, find Hkey_local_machine\software\microsoft\windows/current Version\explorer\remotecomputer\namespace in the registry. In this case, there should be a {D6277990-4C6A-11CF-87-00AA0060F5BF} key. Just delete it, restart the computer, Windows will no longer check the scheduled task, the speed is significantly improved!
4, solve the problem of WinXP execution time Pause
Start--Network connection--local connection, press right button, select Properties, select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), click Properties, use the following IP address: 192.168.0.1, subnet mask: 255.255.255.0, so good, after the boot will not be stopped.
With these simple settings above, I believe I can provide you with a better operating environment. Hopefully this will be a more enjoyable experience for all of you who are using Windows XP to enjoy the fun of Windows XP.
