If you are a careful person, you will find that many useful tools are hidden in the support directory on the Windows XP system installation disc. Because these tools are not automatically installed in the default installation method, generally "cainiao" rarely have access to them. By accident, I have the honor to witness the "elegant style" of these tools hidden in the Windows XP installation package. Now I will recommend some useful tools to you.
 
Before using these hidden tools, you must first hide these tools in the Windows XP installation package and correctly install them in the computer system. To start the installation. The installation process is also very simple. You just need to follow the screen prompts and gradually click the "Next" button. If you do not have the original system installation CD, you can go to the Microsoft homepage and download some of the tools for free.

Once the tool in the compressed package is correctly installed, your Windows XP system will add more than 300 features in an instant. Considering the length, I will only recommend some practical tools here.

Taskbar shortcut

This applet provides you with the function of adding shortcuts to the system taskbar. You can easily add shortcuts that require frequent program running to the taskbar. When setting the parameters, you can use the mouse double-click File named quicktray.exe. In the following interface (1), click the "add" button. In the displayed dialog box, select a program file that often needs to be executed. To remove the shortcut of a program from the system taskbar, you can re-open the file selection dialog box and select the program file to be deleted, click the "Remove" button. However, there are also deficiencies in this method of adding shortcuts, because all the added shortcuts are "crowded" in the system tray area, which is not conducive to rapid identification and selection of programs.

  


Monitor System Performance

Find the wperf.exe file in the system, and double-click the file with the left mouse button to start the tool to monitor system performance (2 ). It only consumes a very small amount of system resources when monitoring system performance. By default, you can only use this tool to monitor the "cpu line graph" information. To enable it to monitor more system information, you can use the mouse pointer to click the "Select" button on the tool interface. In the subsequent window that appears, you can customize the system content to be monitored based on your actual needs, for example, Context Switch/Sec, Thread Cound, Pages Available, Pages Faults, and Pages Pool.

Turn the program into a service

Execute the srvinstw.exe file in the system to open a page for adding a new service. In this interface, you can easily transform a program into a system service, so that you can ensure that you are logged out of the system or have not logged in to the system, this function allows a specified program to run in the background like a system service, saving you a lot of system resources. In the "Install a service" setting item on the tool interface (3), you can add a new service on your own. Then, a prompt window is displayed, asking whether to add a remote service or a Local service. In most cases, you should select the "Local Machine" option to add a Local service. Next, you can enter a name for the Service to be added, and then click the "Browse" button with the mouse pointer to open a file selection dialog box and select an executable program to be converted, for example, you can select the "D: aaaqq.exe" program and click "Next" as prompted. When The "The service was successfully installed" prompt appears, it indicates that The system has converted The QQ program into a service in The system and automatically returned it to The system background for running. To verify whether the QQ service exists, open the "service" window in "Administrative Tools" to see if the QQ service is quietly waiting for you. Of course, this function cannot be used to "transform" All executable programs into system services. If an abnormal prompt appears on the screen during the conversion process, I suggest that you do not forcibly convert the data, otherwise the system may be unstable.

  
Redefine the keyboard

Find a file named Remapkey.exe in Windows XP and double-click the file with the left mouse button to run the program and open the corresponding program interface. (4) the keyboard in the "Base keyboard" interface represents the original standard keyboard in the system, and the keyboard in the "Remapped keyboard" interface is used by you to customize the keyboard. Here, you can select a key at the "Base keyboard" and drag it directly to a key position at the "Remapped keyboard, then the corresponding target key is automatically red. For example, if I drag the "A" key in the "Base keyboard" to the "B" key in the "Remapped keyboard, when you press the "B" key on the keyboard, the letter "A" appears on the screen ". Obviously, with this tool, you can easily use an uncommon Key location to replace the broken frequently used key location in the keyboard, instead of looking for another keyboard Repair Tool. However, to replace the preceding buttons successfully, you must also click the "option" menu item on the tool interface, run the "Setup Auto Logon" command from the open drop-down menu. If you want to restore the keyboard to the original standard state, you can execute the "delete all" command in the "edit" menu item to restore the buttons to the normal state.

In Windows Firewall. Double-click the file with the left mouse button to open the tool interface. In the "Computer Name" Area of the interface, you can see the Name of the Local Computer in the network. If you want to remotely shut down the system through the network, you can change the computer name here to the name or IP address of the target computer to be shut down. By default, the tool automatically selects the "Reboot after shutdown" option. In this case, you must cancel this option to automatically shut down the system. In the "Delay" setting item on the interface, you can also set the Delay time for automatically disabling the system. Generally, the Delay is measured in seconds, you only need to click "OK" to make the settings take effect. to cancel the preceding settings, just click "abort. How about it? Does this tool give you more options for shutdown.

Enhance the clipboard Function

Although the clipboard function provided by html "target = _ blank> Word allows you to copy and paste the clipboard for up to 12 times, if you often use an editor such as a WordPad or notepad, there is no blessing to enjoy this function. For this reason, you can find the file -cliptray.exe that enhances the clipboard function. Once the file is run, it will automatically work in the background of the system, and a control icon will appear in the lower right corner of the system taskbar. Double-click the control icon with the left mouse button to open the program interface of the tool. (5) You can select the content to be copied with the mouse, paste it to the "Entry Text" on the interface, and enter a proper Name in the "Name of Clip Tray Entry" Text box, to facilitate future calling of the content in these clipboard. Of course, you can also click the "ADD" button here to ADD other content to be copied. To call the content in the enhanced clipboard in the future, right-click the control icon in the lower right corner of the taskbar and select the corresponding title from the shortcut menu, the specified content will be called to the target location.
