The problem of slow startup speed of system should not be neglected

All say shut down and boot speed is a lot of users care about one of the problems, who hope that they do not have to wait to enter the system, so there are so many ways to optimize the system, but in fact in the optimization before we should find out, to drag down the Windows system startup speed factors are there?

1, USB hard drives and scanners and other equipment

If your computer's deep XP system downloads devices such as scanners, or if you have a USB hard drive connected at startup, try disconnecting them first to see if the startup speed is changing. Generally speaking, because the USB interface speed is slow, so the corresponding device will have a more obvious impact on the computer startup speed, should try to connect the USB device after starting. If you do not have a USB device, it is recommended that the USB feature be turned off directly in the BIOS settings.

Tip: When Windows starts, the individual drives, including the optical drive, are detected, so if the CD is placed on the CD drive, the computer's startup time is prolonged.

2. Disconnect unused network drives

To eliminate or reduce the number of network connections that Windows must re-establish, it is recommended that you disconnect some network drives that you do not need to use, that is, go to my Computer, right-click the network drive that you have mapped, and choose Disconnect.

3. File and Printer Sharing

Some Windows XP Professional version of the computer will also appear to start very slow problem, or even reached 1 minutes 40 seconds! The system seems to have crashed, log on to the system, the desktop does not appear, the computer is like stop reaction, 1 minutes before normal use. This is due to the use of the Bootvis.exe program, where the Mrxsmb.dll file for computer startup added 67 seconds!

To resolve this problem, simply stop sharing folders and printers: select start → settings → network and dial-up connections, right-click Local Area Connection, select Properties, and cancel the check box before "File and printer sharing on Microsoft Network" under "This connection uses the following selected components" in an open window , restart the computer.

Hint: Microsoft has made several upgrades to the Bootvis.exe file, and it does have a lot of help with the startup speed of Win XP.

4, the annoying network card

If set improperly, the network card will also affect the system startup speed Obviously, if your computer does not need the network card, then unplug the network card directly, lest affect system start speed.

If your computer is connected to a LAN and the NIC driver is installed, by default the system automatically obtains the IP address via DHCP, but most companies do not have a DHCP server on their local area network, so if the user is set to "Automatically obtain an IP address", The system will continue to search the DHCP server on the network until it gets an IP address or timeout, which naturally affects the startup time, so it is best for the local area network user to specify a fixed IP address for their computer.

5, hard disk partition too much is wrong

If your Windows2000 is not upgraded to SP3 or SP4, and too many partitions are defined, it can also cause the startup to become lengthy or even suspended. Therefore, it is recommended to upgrade the latest SP4, and it is best not to have too many areas for hard drives. Because Windows must mount each partition when it starts, the total amount of time to complete this operation increases as the number of partitions increases.

6, desktop icons too many will trouble

Too many icons on the desktop can also slow down the system's boot speed. Each time Windows starts and displays the desktop, it needs to look up the icons of the desktop shortcuts and load them individually, and the more icons, the more time it takes. We recommend that you put the desktop icons that are not commonly used in a special folder or simply delete them!

Hint: Some anti-virus software provides the system to start scanning function, this will consume a lot of time, in fact, if you have turned on the anti-virus software real-time monitoring function, then start scanning the system appears some superfluous, or will this function prohibit it!

7, too many fonts are dragging

While Microsoft claims that Windows can install 1000~1500 fonts, we actually find problems when there are more than 500 fonts installed, such as: Fonts disappear from the application's font list and Windows ' startup speed drops dramatically. It is advisable to remove any fonts that are not used or not used in this recommendation, so that you can make the necessary backups first to avoid accidental deletion.

8, Microsoft itself up "infighting"

Remember a long time ago that a patch of Windows XP caused the system to slow down on the news bar (for example: Q328310-code-named Patch will cause WINDOWS2000/XP startup and shutdown speed is very slow, and may even lead to the registry lock death), It can be seen that the possibility of Microsoft's own internal problems, if you upgrade a system patch, suddenly found that the system started slowly, then it is best to pay attention to the trouble is not a patch.
