Eight essential methods for ordinary users to maintain Windows system

Window

Although it is already a windowsxp/2003, we know that Windows itself is a very open and very fragile system, the slightest use of carelessness may cause system damage, or even paralysis. If the installation and uninstall of the application will also cause the system to run down, the system application conflict significantly increased, and so on. The end result of these problems is having to reinstall Windows.

Windows98 does not provide a very sophisticated system maintenance and optimization function, it provides a "Maintenance Wizard" is too limited. Coupled with the system does not provide a registry control system set up the management function, if the majority of users themselves to deal with the frequent emergence of various system problems will appear very tricky. Here are some of the ways you can help ordinary users maintain windows by using experience in practice.

1, regular disk defragmentation and disk file scanning

This is the simplest and most direct method. In general, you can optimize your disk files by using the Disk Defragmenter and ScanDisk programs provided by the Windows system itself. Both of these tools are very simple. If you are a user with a certain understanding of Windows systems, it is recommended that you use Norton Disk Doctor and Norton Speed Disk provided by Norton Utilities 3.05. This is the latest in 1998 by the Symantec Disk Maintenance tool, its notable features are fast and powerful. To our credit, Norton Speed Disk is more than 10 times times faster than the same tools built in Windows, and the program provides a lot of optimization control and is a very worthwhile tool to use. The two tools are very simple to use, you only need to select a disk to scan or optimize the drive, and execute the corresponding program interface commands to begin operation. In addition, in addition to the optimization of disk file arrangement and error scanning. We can also scan various unwanted files on the disk using the Disk Cleanup tool provided by Windows itself or the Space Wizard provided by Norton Utilities. They can safely remove temporary files, unwanted files, backup files, and so on, in all paths of the system, freeing up disk space completely.

2. Maintenance System Registration Form

As we know, the Windows registry is the lowest-level setting for controlling system startup and running, and its files are System.dat and User.dat under the Windows installation path. These two files are not displayed in plaintext system settings, ordinary users do not have the modification. And we know that if you regularly install/uninstall applications, the settings that these applications add to the system registry are usually not completely removed, and the time that it will cause the registry to become very large and the system running will be affected. Currently the popular in the market specifically for the Windows Registry of automatic debugging, compression, optimization tools are also very many, you can say that Norton Utilities provides the best Windows doctor, it not only provides a powerful system registry error setting automatic detection function, It also provides an automatic repair function. With this tool, even if you know nothing about the system registry, you can do it very easily, because you can repair the system error simply by using the "next" button in the mouse-click program interface.

3, regular backup system registry

Backing up the system registry is the simplest and most effective way to ensure that the Windows system can run stably, maintain the system, and restore the system. We know that the system's registry information is stored under Windows folders with the filename System.dat and User.dat. These two files have implied and System properties, now all you need to do is to back up the two files, you can use the Regedit export function directly to copy the two files to the backup file path, when the system error and then the backup file Guide to the Windows path, overwriting the source file can restore the system. In addition, if you are using Windows98, you can use it to provide scanreg.exe for system backup and recovery, which is simpler. You can quickly back up the current system registry by typing Scanreg/backup directly at the DOS prompt. When you need to restore the registry, you can scanreg/restore at the DOS prompt. For this tool, it should be used in a DOS environment.

4, clean up the system path of the useless DLL file

This maintenance work may not be familiar to you, but it is also a crucial factor that can affect the system's ability to run quickly. As we know, when an application is installed in Windows, it is common to copy some DLL files in the System folder under Windows installation path. And when you delete the corresponding application, some of the DLL files will usually be preserved, and when the DLL file is increasing in the path, it will affect the system overall running speed greatly. For ordinary users, the manual removal of DLL files is very difficult.

In this case, it is recommended to use the Clean System automatic DLL file scanning, removal tool, the download URL of this tool is www.ozemail.com.au/kevsol/ sware.html, you simply select the drive that is available for scanning in the program interface, and then click the "Start Scanning" button in the interface to automatically parse the files on the corresponding disk against the DLL files in the system path. Then give a list of DLL files that are not associated with all the files, at which point you can click the OK button in the interface to delete and automatically back up. It has been used to safely remove 7m of DLL files, without causing application errors in the system, and it works very well.

5, the use of prevention system deadlock tool to maintain system stability

This is another way to maintain your system, which can be used to maintain system stability when your system is unstable and you do not know the cause of the problem and do not want to reinstall Windows. This approach protects your application at critical moments, saving data that is staged in system memory to disk, and is often useful when you are about to finish a design or create a piece of work. At present, there are a lot of tools in this area, after comparing, feel that Norton provided by the Crushguard in the application crash recovery is doing a good job. It provides a wealth of functions, simple operation, high degree of automation, good recovery, in particular, the program can automatically monitor the system currently running applications, and then the crash occurs automatically when the user clicks the Mouse dialog box in the Anti-Freeze button to restore the application, using very simple, Here we recommend that you choose to use. In addition, there is a tool nuts& bolts in the bomb shelter, which is also a good tool to prevent application panic. This tool features a very small, and it is also a good recovery effect.

6, the use of online virus detection tools to prevent virus intrusion

This involves maintaining system security, although it is not very important, but if you are constantly in contact with data exchange, it is very necessary to use this tool. If you like to download software frequently, it is very necessary to have a good online virus defense tool. In the area of virus defense software, it is highly recommended that you use Pc-ciiiin, a top-tier online defense virus tool. It provides a very good effect, at the same time its use is very simple, the program will automatically run after the system is launched and provide online monitoring, when the virus intrusion system will give warning information and stop all system activities, at this time you can give the interface in the program to choose anti-virus or related operations. In addition, McAfee offers WebScanX is an excellent product for dealing with viruses from the Internet. It is a special for the Internet download files, e-mail reception and other operations to provide virus detection tools, program interface design is very cool.

7, the use of Windows auxiliary tools to optimize the system

Windows is a very large system, and the system's CPU, memory requirements are increasing, plus the current application is more and more, this is the cause of the system startup speed is not fast. To this end, there are now specialized tools for Windows and its application startup acceleration, and the most representative product is the Speedstart provided by Norton Utilities, a very good online tool for automated optimization of system operations. In addition, there are many shared software features that provide Windows enhancements now. These tools are usually very small, but they largely fill the gaps in the system, such as providing enhanced system right-click menus, System desktops, task bars, shortcut menus, mouse functions, and so on.

8, optimize Windows itself

Because Windows itself is already highly automated, there is no need for users to optimize their own settings in principle. However, we have some experience in the use of the process, which can improve the speed of the system is also effective, including some of the following points:

(1) Minimize the drivers that are loaded in the Autoexec.bat and Config.sys files, because Windows can provide support for the hardware well, and if necessary, delete the two files.

(2) using FAT32. This is also a very good way, although FAT32 does not provide you with faster disk data access, but it can provide more disk free space, the use of very good results. It is also recommended that you use the "FAT32 converter" provided by Windows98 to operate. The advantage of this is that the FAT16 can be converted to FAT32 without destroying the existing data of the disk, and the effect is very good. If you have a higher level, it is recommended that you use the Partition Magic for FAT32 conversion, which provides more powerful functionality and is very fast to convert.

(3) It is necessary to periodically delete applications that are no longer in use. When too many applications are installed in the system, the speed of the system is affected. So if an application is no longer in use, it should be deleted in a timely manner. For deletion operations, we can generally use the uninstall program provided by the program itself. If it is not provided, it is recommended to use the uninstall Deluxe provided by Norton, which is an excellent tool with the greatest advantage of removing it thoroughly and providing system optimization features that are well worth using.

(4) Delete fonts that are no longer in use in the system.

(5) If the display card speed is not high, do not use excessive display settings, do not use excessive display refresh rate settings, General 75hz is a good choice.

(6) Turn off the system-provided automatic sensing of the CD-ROM (set in the system-device management key).

(7) The daily use of the process should be aware of their own machines related to the latest hardware drivers, and to be installed in a timely manner in the system, which is usually not expensive to improve the performance of the system is an effective way.
