Windows XP Super Application Tips 28 Cases

window| Tips If you need to reinstall Windows XP, you usually have to reactivate it. In fact, if you back up the Wpa.dbl file in the Windowssystem32 directory the first time you activate it, you don't have to work on the activation. After you reload Windows XP, you only need to copy the file to the directory above. (This one costs it!) No use at all, in order to save the original text, or keep it! Or I'll delete it.!!!

2. How do I know if my Windows XP is active

Open start → run, in the pop-up dialog box input: oobe/msoobe/a, enter the system will pop up the window to tell you whether the system has been activated.

3. Let Windows XP also carve ISO files

Windows XP does not provide the ability to burn ISO files directly, but you can download a Third-party plug-in to add this functionality to your system. The download address for this plugin is

Http://members.home.net/alexfein/is...rdersetup.msi.

4. Landing interface Background Change color

Open Registry Editor, locate [Hkey-users.defaultcontrol panelcolors], and change the background value to "0 0 0" (without quotes) so that the login background is black.

5. Completely uninstall XP

Some friends after installing Windows XP found that they do not like the operating system, then you can use the Windows98 installation CD to boot to the DOS state, and then type: Format-ur so you can delete all the XP files, and can be reinstalled windows98/me

6. The system can help to have straw

When you suspect that changes made to your computer prior to the system reboot may cause a failure, you can press the F8 key when you start the system and select Last Known Good Configuration to restore changes to the system.

7. Restore hardware Previous drivers

When you install a new hardware driver and find that the system is unstable or the hardware is not working, you can revert to the previous normal system state by selecting the "Driver Recovery" button in Device Manager. However, you cannot restore the printer driver.

8. Automatic Landing

Click start → run, enter "Rundll32netplwiz.dll,usersrundll" (without quotes), and then cancel the "users must enter a user name and password to use T in user accounts His computer ", click OK, and then in the pop-up dialog box, enter the username and password you want to log in yourself.

9. Fast Shutdown or restart the shortcut key (can be timed)

Right click on the desktop, select New (shortcut, enter the location in the Pop-up wizard: C:windowssystem32 shutdown.exe-s-T 10 (where the-s can be changed to-R, that is, reboot, and-T-10 means delay 10 seconds, you can To change this number according to your own needs). After you have finished making this shortcut, assign an icon to it in the way above. This quick shutdown or reboot technique will show a more beautiful dialog box that prompts the shutdown (reboot), and you can add "-C" to the back and I'm going to turn it off! "", so this sentence will be displayed in the dialog box, of course the text you can write freely, but to note that not more than 127 characters.

10. Shutdown, reboot only 1 seconds

If you want Windows XP to shut down instantly, press Ctrl+alt+del and click "Shut down" → "shutdown" in the Task Manager that pops up, while holding down CTRL, you'll find that the system is closed in less than 1 seconds, just in the blink of an eye. Similarly, if you choose Reboot in the Shutdown menu, you can restart quickly.

11. Find the missing Quick Launch bar

Move the mouse to a blank area of the taskbar, right-click to select Properties from the pop-up menu, select the Taskbar tab in the pop-up window, and select the Show Quick Launch check box in the taskbar appearance box to confirm the line.

12. batch file renaming

Windows XP provides the ability to batch rename files, select several files in the Explorer, press the F2 key, and then rename one of these files so that all selected files will be renamed to the new file name (plus the incremented number at the end).

13. Fast Lock Computer

Right-click on the Desktop, select New Shortcut on the shortcut menu that appears, then start the Create Shortcut Wizard, Rundll32.exe user32.dll,lockworkstation in the text box, and click Next. Enter the name of the shortcut in the pop-up window and click "Finish". Of course, the simplest way to lock a computer is to press Winkey + L directly.

　　
14. Let double bond mouse with roll page function
In Control Panel, double-click the mouse item and in the pop-up Mouse Properties dialog box, select the Start click Lock Entry in the click Lock column. Click on the "Settings" button, in the pop-up "click the Locked Settings" dialog box to set the mouse to the shortest, click "OK" to save. Open a webpage, click on the scroll of the webpage, move the mouse up and down not far from the scroll of the webpage, can realize this function. Click on the scroll page again to turn off this feature.

15. Let Windows XP read English letters

Find the "Narrator" program in the Accessibility group, click the "Sound" button, and go to the "Sound settings" interface to set it up and save it. When you point the mouse at a dialog box with an English letter, a menu and a button, you hear a male speaker reading an English letter.

16. Cancel the arrow on the shortcut icon

The previous implementation of this feature is more cumbersome, now good, just want to create a new 2 in the Hkey_current_usersoftwaremicrosoftwindowscurrentversionexplorer value Link, and modified to 00 00 00 00 can be achieved.

17.microsoft installation essentials for Windows XP

To install Windows XP

Insert the Windows XP CD, it will run automatically, the installation interface appears, click "Install". If it does not run automatically, double-click the setup.exe of the disc root to start the installation. Before restarting your computer, there are several options to note: If you plan to install Windows XP to another partition instead of C, you should be careful to click on the "Advanced" option, and then remember to select "Select partition during Installation". Otherwise, you will not be able to select the installed partition after restarting the installation process.

Install in DOS

This could be a newly purchased computer or a Windows system that is inaccessible. Will choose to install in DOS. NT system and 9x system, it is not installed in DOS like Windows 981, type Setup.exe can be, but first load Smartdrv.exe, and then run/i386 directory Winnt.exe.

The specific method of operation is as follows:

Suppose Smartdrv.exe this file in a disk, CD drive to G disk (note: This file is on the Windows 9x CD-ROM or Windows 9x system under the Windows directory)

A:smartdrv.exe

A:g:

G:CD i386

G:i386winnt.exe

This is OK, be sure to remember to load Smartdrv.exe otherwise, oh, you wait for a night also install not complete Windows XP.

18. Other issues to be noted----NTFS

For options on NTFS, if you want to install more than one operating system, keep in mind that you do not convert the C disk to NTFS. For more information on the differences between NTFS and FAT32 in the FAT file system, check out the other documentation. If you don't know if you should convert it to NTFS, an easy way to do this is to use FAT32 and choose "Do not convert". After you know about NTFS, you can use the Convert.exe executable file in command-line mode to convert it at any time, such as convert C:/fs:ntfs to convert C disk to NTFS.

19. Do not load DLL files
After using the browser, some DLL files are often cached in memory for a long time, and a large portion of the memory is used by the unused DLL files. To prevent this from happening, locate the following registry location:

Hkey_local_machinesoftwaremicrosoftwindowscurrentversionexplorer Next, create a two-byte value called Alwaysunloaddll, with a value of 1. If you want to remove this optimization, just set the key value to 0 (you can simply delete the key). Note: This optimization will not take effect until Windows restarts.

20.xp Prefetcher

Windows XP comes with a service called Prefetcher, which manages the initial program of Windows startup, where the specified program can be quickly loaded in later use. Prefetcher is turned on by default, but its performance can be further improved. Open Registry Editor and locate in the registry:

Hkey_local_machinesystemcurrentcontrolsetcontrolsession managermemory

Managementprefetchparameters, which has a key value named Enableprefetcher, in most cases its value is 3. Recommended set value is 5--on my machine, set to 5 when the best working condition. You can try different values until you find the one that best suits your machine. You can also disable Prefetcher, just set the value to 0 on it. However, unless it is for testing purposes, the average person is not stupid enough to set it to 0.

21. Completely turn off the Windows XP File Protection feature. Use this trick with caution

Find Hkey_local_machinesoftwaremicrosoftwindowsntcurrentversionwinlogon from the registry, and modify the "sfcdisable" key value to "FFFFFF9D". If you need to re-enable the feature, reset to "0" is OK.

22. Memory Performance Optimization

There are several options in Windows XP that can optimize memory performance, all of which are located under the registry: Hkey_local_machinesystemcurrentcontrolsetcontrolsession Managermemory Management

23. Disable memory page scheduling

Under normal circumstances, XP will write fragments in memory to the hard disk, we can prevent it to do so, so that the data remain in memory, thereby improving system performance. Note that users with a lot of memory (more than 256M) are better off using this setting. The name of this setting is the same as its function, called "disablepagingexecutive". Changing its value from 0 to 1 prevents the memory page from being scheduled.

24. Upgrade the system cache

Changing the LargeSystemCache key value from 0 to 1,windowsxp will allocate all but 4M of system memory to the file system cache, which means that the XP kernel can run in memory and greatly improve the system speed. The remaining 4 m memory is used for disk caching, and XP will be allocated more when needed under certain conditions. In general, this optimization can lead to a considerable improvement in system performance, but it is also possible that some application performance will be reduced. As mentioned above, there must be more than 256M of memory to activate the LargeSystemCache, otherwise do not move it.

25. Input/Output performance

This optimization is only meaningful to server users-it can enhance the performance of the system for bulk file transfer. By default, this key value does not exist in the registry, you must build a DWORD (double-byte value) key value, named Iopagelocklimit. Most people use this optimization to find the best performance between 8 and 16M bytes, what value to set, and try which value can get the best performance. Remember that this value is measured in bytes, so, for example, if you're assigning 12M, it's 12 * 1024 * 1024, which is 12582912. As with the previous memory optimizations, you can change the value only when your memory is larger than 256M.

26. Optimize processor level Two cache capacity

Windows XP cannot automatically detect the processor's level two cache capacity, requires us to manually set it in the registry, first open the registry (enter "Regedit" in Run), and then open:

Hkey_local_machinesystemcurrentcontrolsetcontrolsession managermemory Management

Select "Secondleveldatacache", depending on your processor settings, such as PIII COPPERMINE/P4 Willamette is "256", Athlon XP is "384", P4 Northwood is "512"

27. Priority order for IRQ interrupt requests

Each major part of the computer has an IRQ interrupt number set. This is done by modifying the precedence of each IRQ request to achieve the optimization goal. The main optimization object here is the system/cmos real-time clock, which improves performance through the motherboard. First, determine which component you want to achieve higher performance, and then find the IRQ interrupt number that the hardware is using. How do I find it? Open the System Properties in the Control Panel (or press the Windows+break hotkey combination on the keyboard to open it). Select the Hardware tab, and then tap the Device Manager button. Right-click the component that you want to check for IRQ numbers, select Properties, and then tap the Resources tab.

Here you can see the IRQ interrupt number that the device is using (if there is no IRQ interrupt number, select another device). Write down the interrupt number, and then run Registry Editor regedit to find the Hkey_local_machinesystemcurrentcontrolsetcontrol Prioritycontrol location in the registration. We're going to create a DWORD value called Irq#priority (where "#" is a specific IRQ interrupt number), and then set its value to 1. For example, my system CMOS real time clock IRQ interrupt number is 8, I want to establish the key name is irq8priority. After you restart your computer, you will find that the components you have just optimized have improved performance. This method is strongly recommended to optimize the system CMOS real-time clock, because it can improve the performance of the whole board. Of course, you can also increase the number of IRQ interrupt priority, but the effect is not so good, and may cause system instability. To undo this optimization setting, just delete the registry key that you just created and click OK.

28. Accelerate sharing

This is a great optimization, and before I find this optimization, I often knock on my scalp in a long wait window to display a shared directory on another machine. 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. Fortunately, it's easy to get rid of the process. First, find hkey_local_machinesoftwaremicrosoftwindows/current in the registry

Versionexplorerremotecomputernamespace. In this case, there should be a {D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF} key. Just delete it, restart the computer, Windows will no longer check the scheduled task, the speed is significantly improved!
