Shutdown Windows XP quickly

I'm afraid it's hard for friends who use old machines and laptops to tolerate the crazy system startup process. Even if I tried all the optimization tips and used all the optimization software, Windows XP still started slowly and shut down slowly, frustrating. In fact, Windows XP has already prepared a shortcut for you to quickly switch on and off the machine, which is the standby and sleep.

1. One-click standby for shutdown Acceleration

Open "Control Panel"> "power options", select the "advanced" tab, and set the "when you press the computer power button" drop-down menu here, select "Sleep" or "standby ". After setting the application, you can use one-click standby mode. For example, if you want to continue your work tomorrow before leaving work, you only need to click the power button on the chassis to leave work. On the second day, press the START key to quickly enter the system and continue the work that was not completed yesterday.

When the STANDBY state is restored, the information on the computer may be peeked at by others. On the "advanced" tab, you can select "enter a password when the computer recovers from the STANDBY state" to add a security protection for the STANDBY state.

Ii. Create a Sleep key

First, on the "Sleep" tab of the "power options" dialog box, select "enable sleep. Powrprof. dll, SetSuspendState "command. Click "Next" and enter "Sleep" in the "Select Program title" dialog box ". After "done", right-click the "Sleep" shortcut on the desktop, open the dialog box, select the "shortcut" tab, and press your favorite shortcut key in "shortcut key", such as "F8 ". After setting, you only need to press the "F8" key to achieve one-click sleep.

3. properly set the Standby Power Supply

Most of the time, you only need to temporarily leave your computer, so you do not need to turn off the power of most hardware devices, such as USB interfaces, NICS, and mouse, which improves the recovery speed.

Take the network card as an example. Open the "Device Manager", right-click the network card project, and select the "properties" command in the pop-up menu to open the "Property Settings" dialog box. On the "power management" tab, deselect the "allow computer to disable this device to save power" option and click "Apply. Disable Power-off for USB, mouse, and other devices in the same way.

Iv. power off in standby mode

In normal standby mode, the power cannot be switched off, because the data is stored in the memory. Once the power is turned off, data will be lost. To shut down, you only need to use sleep, but it takes a long time to start sleep. If you use the STR technology of the motherboard power supply, you can also turn off the power in the standby mode, and it takes only a few seconds to restore the computer to work.

Most motherboards support the STR technology. Take Mei Jie SY-I5PRLE motherboard as an example, enter the CMOS settings page after boot, select "Power Management Setup" Power Management settings. Find the "ACPI Suspend Type" item, set it to "S3 (STR)" mode, and save the CMOS settings. When the standby mode is used in the future, the power supply of the chassis will be automatically disabled. When the power button of the chassis is pressed, the system can quickly restore to the storage status when the standby mode is used.

When the STR technology is used for standby, the power supply of the motherboard cannot be cut off; otherwise, the stored data will be lost. In addition, to wake up the system with the mouse and keyboard in the STANDBY state, you can set it in CMOS, set PS/s kb/MS Wake up From S3-S5 to Enable.

5. solves the problem of automatic Standby Recovery

Some systems will automatically recover from the standby status from time to time and automatically enter the standby status. This problem is mostly caused by improper Nic power settings. For more information, see "network adapter" in "Device Manager". Double-click the network adapter to open the Properties window. On the "power management" tab, deselect the "allow this device to disconnect the computer from the STANDBY state" check.

6. Increase the speed for sleep standby mode

When using sleep and standby, pay attention to some issues. For example, if the system uses sleep for a long time, data in the memory will not be cleared, which slows down the running speed of Windows XP. At this time, you may wish to use memory tools such as Freemem for sorting.

If you save a working file before hibernation, the temporary files and data will be released, which greatly improves the speed of hibernation and recovery and enhances data security during restoration. In addition, you can increase the system disk space capacity, enable the disk DMA channel, and enable USB and other external devices before hibernation and standby, which can effectively improve the speed and stability of sleep and standby.
