Seven strokes to improve Windows XP running speed

Win XP is the preferred operating system for many computer players with its gorgeous operating screen and steady performance, but in the process of using Windows XP you will find that the operating system is getting slower and faster over time. How to make Windows XP improve the speed of the issue, has become a topic of great concern to users.

1, speed up the start

Every time you start Windows XP, the Blue scroll bar will be tirelessly walk several laps, for the pursuit of high efficiency, you do not want it to walk a few laps? We can actually reduce its scrolling time to speed up the startup speed. To do this: Open Registry Editor, expand Hkey _ local _ machine\system\currentcontrolset\control\session\manager\memory\management\ Prefetchparameters Branch, in the right-hand window of the central find Enableprefetcher subkey, its default value of "3" modified to "1". Next, click My Computer on the desktop with the right mouse button, select Properties, select the Hardware tab in the Open window, and click the Device Manager button. Expand IDE ATA/ATAP Controller in the Device Manager window. Double-click the secondary IDE Channel option to select the Advanced tab in the pop-up dialog box, in device 0, in device type, change the original automatic detection to none, and then exit. The "Primary IDE Channel" method of modification is consistent. Now restart the computer to see if your scroll bar scrolling time is not reduced? Note: Friends who use the VIA chipset motherboard can never modify the Via bus MASTER IDE CONTROLLER option.

In addition, if you do not choose to create multiple different hardware profiles, or if you want to automatically load the default hardware profile during startup without displaying list items, you can enter "0" in "Seconds" in the "Hardware Profile Selection" section. When you need to select, hold down the SPACEBAR to display the list.

2, optimize the Network Neighborhood

When Windows XP network Places are in use, the system first searches for its own shared directory and the printers that can be shared as a network, as well as scheduled tasks that are related to the network in the scheduled task, before being displayed, which directly affects the speed at which your computer is running. If you do not need to, you should delete it. The steps are as follows: Find Hkey_local_machine\sofeware\microsoft\windows\current Version\explore\remotecomputer\namespace in Registry Editor , delete the {2227a280-3aea-1069-a2de08002b30309d} (printer) and {D6277990-4C6A-11CF8D87-00AA0060F5BF} (Scheduled Tasks) below it, and then restart the computer. When you visit your online neighborhood again, you find that your speed has increased.

3, speed up the switching machine

When shutting down in Windows XP, the system always sends messages to the running program and remote server, notifying them that the system is shutting down and waiting for a response before the system shuts down. If we want to speed up the boot, we can set the time to automatically end the task. Open Registry Editor, expand the hkey_current _ USER Control Panel Desktop Branch, and locate the Autoendtasks subkey and set it to 1. Then set the "Hungapptimeout" subkey under this branch to "1000" and Change "Waittokillservice" to "1000" (the default is 5000). With this reset, the computer's shutdown speed can be significantly faster.

5, quickly switch to different working environment

To meet a variety of needs and adapt to different working environments, you can create multiple different hardware profiles at the same time. Press the Copy button in the Hardware Profiles dialog box to back up the current hardware profile and rename it so that it is done in a different working environment. Go to the Hardware Profile dialog box, use the up and down arrows to move the profile, put the most commonly used top, select "Wait for the user to select a hardware Profile" in the "Hardware Profile Selection" section, and restart the computer to see the hardware Profile selection menu. This setup method is more practical to use notebook computer users, can create multiple hardware profiles suitable for different occasions, it is convenient to switch and can greatly improve work efficiency.
