Nine ways to speed up the system in Windows 7

Microsoft officially announced that Windows 7 is 20% faster than Vista in the same hardware configuration, and Microsoft has enabled quick 15 seconds, therefore, Windows 7 may start very quickly. But netizens who have used beta, RC, RTM and other versions of Windows 7 know that it is impossible to do so quickly! Why? Aside from the two main irresistible factors of hardware aging and virus erosion, are there any other reasons for setup? What should we do to speed up the system?
I. hardware configuration meets the recommended requirements
* To run Windows 7 smoothly, Microsoft officially recommends the following configurations:
* The CPU of the processor is installed with 64-bit 1g hz and above, with 2 GB of memory and above, 20 GB of hard disk and above, and the video card supports WDDM 1.0 or higher. These are recommended hardware configurations, if your hardware does not meet this level, it will naturally be slow to run Windows 7. To speed up the system, only the computer hardware must be upgraded first.
* 2. Streamline the system and reduce unnecessary programs and startup items
* 1. Reduce random startup items
* For random Startup items, you can directly enter msconfig in the "Start Menu"-> "run", switch to the "Startup" tab in the pop-up window, and disable unnecessary Startup items, generally, we only run one input method program and anti-virus software.
* 2. Reduce the display time for Windows 7 startup.
* In "Start Menu"-> "run", enter msconfig and switch to the Boot tag in the pop-up window. The start wait time is displayed in the lower right corner. The default value is 30 seconds, generally, it can be shortened to 5 seconds or 10 seconds.
* Select the Advanced option 'advanced options... ', And another setting window will pop up. Check 'number of processors' and select your computer configuration from the drop-down menu. Now, dual-core is common, and of course there are 4 cores, 8-core, so confirm and restart the computer to take effect.
* 3. Speed up Windows 7 Shutdown
* The above explains how to speed up the startup of Windows 7. Since the startup time can be reduced, the corresponding shutdown time can also be reduced. This modification must be performed in the registry.
* Operation method: Enter 'regedit 'in the system start menu and press enter to open registry manager, then find the key value 'HKEY _ LOCAL_MACHINE--SYSTEM -- CurrentControlSet -- control ', right-click 'waittokillservicetimeout' to change the value to a very low value. The default value is 12000 (12 seconds). This is the time Windows waits for the process to end at shutdown, if you do not want to wait, you can change the time value to any value. After the modification is complete, you also need to restart the computer to make the change take effect.

4. Faster window Conversion
* Windows 7 has beautiful results, but the beautiful results need to be exchanged by speed. Therefore, if you want to switch between Windows 7 more quickly, after closing the animation effect with the maximum and minimum window size, you will find that the window switching is faster.
* Operation method: first, type "SystemPropertiesPerformance" in the Start Menu of Windows 7, and then find the Visual Effects label, select "Animate windows when minimizing and maximizing" and click OK.
* 5. Delete unnecessary fonts.
* Some users may not be able to make the above changes, but you do not need to be soft. Fonts in Windows, especially the default TrueType fonts, occupy part of system resources. You only need to keep the font you need for your daily work. The rest is useless to you.
* Operation method: Open the Control Panel and find the font folder (the path address is Control PanelAll Control Panel ItemsFonts ), then, you can move all the fonts you don't need to use frequently to another temporary backup folder, so that you can easily retrieve them when you want to use them in the future. If you don't think you can use these fonts, you don't have to back up them. You can just uninstall them. In short, the more fonts you unload, the more system resources you need to spare, and the overall performance of Windows 7 is certainly improved.
* 6. Faster taskbar Preview
* Operation method: Enter the 'regedit 'command in the Start Menu, press enter to open the Registry, and then find the key value 'HKEY _ CURRENT_USER -- Software -- Microsoft? Windows -- CurrentVersion -- Explorer -- Advanced, right-click Advanced Settings, select 'new dword', enter the value 'thumbnaillivepreviewhovertime', right-click the item, and select 'modify, you can select the decimal counting system and enter a new value in milliseconds. For example, if you enter 200, it means 0.2 seconds. In short, you can set it at the desired speed. After confirmation, you also need to restart the computer to make it take effect.
* 7. Aero topic prohibited
* The Aero topic provided in Windows 7 also occupies system resources. If you want the system to be faster, it is necessary not to use this topic.
* Operation method: Right-click the desktop, select 'personalise ', select the 'window color' tab, and do not Check 'Enable Transparency, click 'open classic appearance properties for more color options' and select a standard topic.
* 8. Hide Windows 7 service items
* In Windows 7, some service items occupy too much memory. If you do not use these services, the system resources are wasted. However, I do not want you to disable these services. After all, you may need to use these services in some cases. The best way is to adjust the settings after each service is fully understood, which may be difficult for Junior computer users. We recommend that you give up this optimization, but you can try it.
* Operation method: Open the control panel of Windows 7, click 'administrative Tools ', and then select 'service '. Right-click each service and choose settings. Please be careful with this operation. You 'd better hear more Windows suggestions.
