15. expanded the "recycle bin" right-click Function

The recycle bin is a system-level desktop icon in Windows 98. Its right-click menu is not powerful enough. For example, the right-click menu of the recycle bin does not have the delete or rename function, which may cause inconvenience to the actual application, therefore, we can modify the Registry to expand its functions.

Click HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ CLSID \ [645FF040-5081-10113-9F08-00AA002F954E] \ ShellFolder to modify the value of ATTRIBUTES in the right-click window, because each file usually has four ATTRIBUTES, including read-only, hidden.

18. Improve the read/write capability of the optical drive

Adding cache to the optical drive is an effective way to increase the read/write speed of the optical drive. Because Windows 98 recommends four-speed or higher-speed access to the optical drive, which is not consistent with the popular Optical Drive. To adapt to the popular drive with a speed greater than 16, we can modify the Registry to improve the cache size and pre-read performance of the optical drive to accelerate the running speed of the optical drive and limit the performance of the optical drive.

Click HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CURRENTCONTROLSET \ CONTROL \ FILESYSTEM \ CDFS, and find CACHESIZE and PREFETCH in the window on the right of the item, if you select a quad-speed or higher-speed optical drive access method recommended by Windows 98, the values of these two options are "6B020000" and "E4000000", respectively ". You can modify the actual usage of the optical drive. If the optical drive is often used for multimedia playback, you can change the CACHESIZE value to "D6040000", and "AC090000" is the maximum value of the optical drive cache. To ensure the consistent speed of the high-speed optical drive, you can modify the PREFETCH value. For example, if the 8-fold speed is "C0010000", the 16-fold speed is "80030000", and the 24-fold speed is "40050000 ", the 32-plus speed is "00070000 ".

Note: If you modify the two key values, the optical drive will not work properly. If you cannot play VCD normally, Please reduce the value of one level.

19. Delete the history of the Document menu

By default, documents viewed by users are recorded in the document menu and are not automatically cleared. By modifying the registry, the system automatically clears the history records in the Document menu every time it exits, or prohibits the system from displaying the recently viewed or edited documents in the history records of the Document menu.

Click HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ SOFTWARE \ MICROSOFT \ WINDOWS \ currn etversion \ POLICIES \ EXPLORER.

21. Optimized File Allocation

To effectively save disk space, the FAT32 file system is introduced in Windows 98, because a large number of applications currently do not support the FAT32 system, therefore, the advantages of FAT32 are not shown in practical applications. Therefore, you can optimize the file system by modifying the Registry to make file distribution more reasonable. Click HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CURRENTCONTROLSET \ CONTROL \ FILESYSTEM. In the blank window on the right of the item, right-click the "DWORD Value" command in the "new" menu and name it "ContigFileAllocsize ", and change the value to "00000F14 ".

In the drive configured on the machine, I am afraid that the read/write speed of several floppy disks is the slowest. In addition to the physical nature, it is also related to the default use of FIFO to manage the drive in Windows 98, it does not have the background storage management function. Therefore, you can modify the Registry to optimize the performance of the floppy disk drive.

Click HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CURRENTCONTROLSET \ SERVICES \ CLASS \ FDC000. In the blank window on the right of the item, right-click and choose "DWORD Value" from the "new" menu, name "ForeFifo" and change the value to "0 ".

23. Disable automatic operation of the CD

Most of the current CDs have the automatic operation function, which is especially convenient for installation and running, but it is also annoying.

Therefore, you can modify the registry so that all documents not associated can be opened in notepad.
