Optimize the computer system to keep your PC running

Computer System Optimization

My name is "computer". Maybe you are unfamiliar with this name, but I believe everyone is familiar with it when I mention my Chinese name. Although many families now have my shadows, with the passage of time and years, I found that I have been unable to cope with the problem recently, and I still suffer from various diseases. As a result, many people want to use various methods to make my "old man" body more flexible. Some people who know medical skills can restore me very well and reproduce the glory of the year; however, after all, the number of savvy doctors is a minority. Most of them are normal doctors. They are getting worse and worse, and their health is not as good as they were before. It really worried me. In order not to be eliminated by the master, I had to treat myself ......

Set startup options

The first optimization is to shorten the startup speed and give the host a good first impression.

Select "run" in the "Start" menu. A dialog box is displayed. Enter the msconfig letter here and enter the system configuration utility. In "General", you can see the startup options. Here you choose "selective startup", and then enter the "Start" option. At this time, you can see what I loaded at startup. Although loading more things will improve the performance and add many features, it will greatly increase the startup time. Especially for some machines with poor configurations, the startup speed is intolerable. If you choose to load stuff to me, it will save a lot of time at startup. If you configure Windows 98 or a lower operating system for me, there is a text named autoexec. BAT in it, and she is also responsible for starting.

My secrets-"My Computer" Optimization Strategy

After making a good impression on the Master, where should I start with the specific optimization? Let's start with "my computer", because many of the settings are related to her. If you can correctly set them, the optimization effect is very obvious. Here, I chose the most popular Windows ME and Windows XP operating systems to take care of the needs of more friends.

I. Windows ME System

Right-click the "my computer" icon and a menu will pop up. You can choose "properties" to set it.

1. Device Manager. Installing the latest driver can greatly improve the performance of the machine, but it is recommended that you install a stable driver for me. If the motherboard is a via chip, in "hard disk controller", select the last one via busmaster PCI ide controller. "dual ide channel Settings" will appear. Here you choose "start with two ide channels ", in this way, the access speed to hard disk files will be about 15% faster in the future. If your optical drive is not "Antique", enable the "DMA" option in the "Optical Drive" option, so that the access speed to the disc will be much faster than before.

2. Performance. Because the file access speed is very important to the computer's running speed, the virtual memory setting will also affect the machine's speed. Here, you can set the maximum value of "Virtual Memory" to about 80% of the available disk space, and the minimum value to about MB. If my "body" is healthy, you can adjust "Hardware acceleration" to all in "advanced graphics Settings" to make full use of the power of the video card.

3. File System → hard disk. This attribute can be used to convert a hard disk to a "network server", and pre-read optimization to all, which can increase the efficiency of the hard disk. Scanning a floppy disk is prohibited at startup, which can increase the startup speed and avoid damage to the head at each startup, select the floppy disk page and cancel "Search for a New floppy disk every time you start the computer. "CD-ROM" here you can adjust the high-speed cache to the maximum, and the CD access mode to "four times or more high-speed", this can improve the speed of the optical drive. Its high-speed cache mechanism is to use a part of the memory as the cache of the optical drive, so as to increase the performance of the optical drive, which is similar to the virtual memory.

4. Restore the system. System Restoration is an important new function that Microsoft has added since the Windows ME operating system. This function is enabled by default. Once files in the computer are damaged, Windows can use this function to restore. Windows ME saves the Restoration Information in the _ restore folder. A _ restore folder is created on each hard drive of the computer. Restarting the computer will update these folders. Here I think this stuff is not very helpful to me, and it also makes my body so bloated. Therefore, we are determined to remove the system restoration. In the "Troubleshooting", we can select the "forbidden System Restoration" option at the bottom.

Ii. Windows XP System

The differences between Windows XP and Windows ME on "My Computer" are not very great. Here I will introduce the differences.

Select the "advanced" option in the system attributes and adjust some visual effects of XP in the "performance" settings, here you can adjust to the best performance or appearance based on my configuration. If the hardware configuration is very low, it is better to choose the best performance, which can make me run more smoothly. If the hardware configuration is the top configuration, you should never be polite, open all XP special effects and you will be given a visual experience you have never had before. In the "advanced options" that follow, both the processor and memory plan will take the program as the optimization priority object, so that the memory and CPU can be preferentially placed on the program when running the program, it also increases the running speed of the program.

If you have no special requirements, do not enable the "Auto Update" function on me. Because some of Microsoft's updated things are not what I need, and it also wastes a lot of time and hard disk space when downloading Those useless things. In "remote", it is best not to select "Remote Desktop" or "Remote Assistance". If you choose to select Remote Desktop, it is equivalent to leaving a backdoor for me, it is much easier for hackers to intrude into me. In order not to let strangers know me more, Please disable these two options ^ o ^.

Core: Comprehensive Optimization Using the Registry

The Registry is equivalent to my neural system. It can be said that everything I do is modified using the registry. If you are familiar with the registry, it is very easy to optimize it, even if most of the so-called optimization software is optimized by modifying the registry. As the registration content is rich, I will introduce several aspects that affect my speed in this article.

1. shutdown with one click

Applicable to: Windows 98

Method: 1. Open the primary key of hkey_classes _ rootdirectoryshell, create a new primary key named "close", and double-click "default" on the right of the "close" subkey window ", enter "Close computer" in the "key value" Column (to display in the right-click the "Start" menu). You can define the shortcut key.

2. Create a level-1 subkey "command" under "close", double-click "default" on the right of the subkey window, and enter "rundll32.exe user" in the "key value" column. EXE, exitwindows ".

3. After entering the information, right-click "start" and select "Close computer" to close the computer.

2. Remove the voice when an error occurs

Applicable to: Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP

Method: Open the hkey_local_usercontrol panelsound sub-key, create a new "beep" string value in the right window, double-click the value, and enter "no" in the pop-up dialog box. If you need to recover the sound, you only need to change the value to "yes.

3. Accelerated menu display

Applicable to: Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP

Method: Open the hkey_current _ usercontrolpaneldesktop subitem, double-click "menushowdelay" in the right window, and enter 0 ~ The value ranges from 100000 to 400 (in milliseconds). Generally, the value is set to 20 to. The smaller the number, the faster the menu display speed. We recommend that you do not set a low value, I felt dizzy when setting this value to "40.

4. Delete the "Start → favorites" option

Applicable to: Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP

Method: Open the hkey_current _ usersoftwaremicrosoftwindowscurrentversionpoliciesexplorer subkey, create a dubyte value in the right window, and name it "nofavoritesment". The value is 1.

5. Changing the blinking speed of the cursor

Applicable to: Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP

Method: Open the hkey_current _ usercontrol paneldesktop sub-key, find "cursoblinkrate" in the right window, and double-click "currsorblinkrate". The entered number is the speed at which the cursor flashes, the default number is generally 200 ~ 400. If the user inputs "-1", the cursor will not flash again.
