I personally like to install the original XP system, that is, the system that has not been significantly modified. The reason is simple. I like to build my own personalized system.
After starting from the CD to the DOS state, format the C disk first (if you use the ghost version of the system, it will not prompt, because it can directly overwrite the C disk ), there are two formats: NTFs and FAT32. We recommend that you set the file system to NTFS. In this way, you can have full control over your computer and be safer.
After installing the system and entering the desktop, if you are a brand computer, you may have to find and install the appropriate driver. Taking Lenovo notebook as an example, you can go to Lenovo's official website before reinstalling the computer, enter your current model, find the appropriate driver, download all, and save it in a space other than drive C. After you reinstall the system, install these drivers one by one. After installing the driver, you will be prompted to restart. You do not need to restart, because we need to spend the least time to complete all the work. Therefore, check "restart later"
Mofa37 shared his experience on the sequence of driver installation. The sequence is as follows:
"Motherboard (chip set) driver-graphics card (video) driver, directx9 -- NIC Driver-Sound Card (audio) driver-Communication (modem) Driver
This is the installation sequence of the driver on my computer. If the sequence is incorrect, there may be various compatibility problems. After I installed the system, I used kmplayer to watch Avi, FLV, and other movies, later, the installation will be okay in the correct order."
Now, install anti-virus software on your computer. I like Kaspersky for almost two years. I think it is very good. The current version is kis7. Baidu, you can find it. We recommend that you download it before reinstalling the computer. The license file can also be easily found. You can leave your email address as needed.
Kaspersky has a very bad idea, that is, it is too hard to hear the pigs after finding the virus. I like to change it. These will be described later.
Next, we need to modify something, optimize the system, and delete unnecessary files, and move some files that can be transferred to other disks (if there is no important information in other disks, it is recommended to format the file system to NTFS) to save disk C space.
01 normally, we can delete files under \ windows \ system32 \ dllcache (minus 200 -- 300 MB). This is the *. dll file automatically backed up by the system. No problems have occurred after deletion. This is a system hidden file, so you must first set it to show it.
If you have enough disk space, do not delete ------------ lovejany210
Note: Click Tools and select Folder Options.
02 disable "Sleep support ":
Because the sleep function occupies a lot of hard disk space, it is better to disable it. The console --> power option --> sleep (do not tick) Turn off sleep to save some hard disk space and memory.
03 Delete shared documents:
By default, open my computer in Windows XP and you will see some folders above the hard disk icon. These are "Shared Folders", which are used to share files. These folders are especially annoying and unnecessary. We can make these folders disappear in my computer: Open the Registry Editor, delete {folder} under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ mycomputer \ namespace \ delegatefolders. The annoying folders will no longer exist when I open my computer next time.
04 turn off redundant system reports:
If your system crashes and you find that your hard disk is working hard, it is because Windows XP is writing dump files. It is useless for us. Can you send this error to Microsoft ?~ There is no need to disable it ~ Click host my computer → properties → advanced → start and fault recovery → settings → Select Automatic Restart only in system failure and do not select write debugging information
05 shortenProgramResponse wait time:
Open the Registry Editor, find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control, and set waittokillservicetimeout to 1000 or smaller (original value: 20000 ).
Find the HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Control Panel \ Desktop key, and change waittokillapptimeout in the right window to 1000 (the original value is 20000). That is, when the program is closed, it only takes 1 second. Change the value of hungapptimeout to 200 (original value: 5000), indicating that the program will wait 0.5 seconds for an error
06 when the computer is disabled, the task is automatically ended:
When shutdown, an annoying dialog box is displayed to remind you whether a program is still running and whether to stop the task. In fact, you can make a few modifications to enable Windows to automatically end these programs that are still running. Open the HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Control Panel \ Desktop directory in the Registry and change the augoendtasks key value to 1.
07 Internet time synchronization:
If you use time synchronization ~ Then your computer will check the time server on the Internet at a certain time, wasting some memory. We recommend that you disable it. Because when your computer first adjusts the time, there is almost a Time deviation .. Close method click Start → Control Panel → Date and Time language and region options → Date and Time → Internet time close synchronization OK
08 system environment variable settings:
Right-click "my computer" and choose "properties"> "advanced"> "environment variables" to transfer user variables to other partitions. For example, select temp and double-click to enter a new path.
