Three ways to reduce Win7 volume

When we use Windows 7, we find that the size of his system is between XP and Vista, but for some people still want Windows 7 to minimize the system. Here are three ways to get what you want.

Microsoft's huge volume of Vista is explained by the fact that we have built millions of hardware drivers for Vista users, and because of the upgrade of the system kernel, we have to take into account the functionality that is compatible with the old kernel, leading to a massive increase in volume.

So for Microsoft's next-generation operating system: Windows 7, what about its size? Wouldn't it be as bloated as vista? Of course not, Microsoft has learned a lot in the early stages of development, and has made great improvements. A notebook of 2G memory, after installing the flagship version of Windows 7, occupy the space is about 9G, a full than Vista small 3g! today our win fighter will share with you, Windows 7 again minus the "3G" fat secrets. Are you curious about what a win fighter is? The end of the article we will reveal Oh!

I. Removing virtual memory files to a non-system disk

As you all know, in order to speed up the system, Windows provides a virtual memory mechanism, while in Windows 7, the default is to turn on this feature, and virtual memory files are on the system disk. For example, a 2G memory machine, virtual memory file size is 2G, we can completely remove him! For the system disk, there is space left.

Specific setup process:

The first step, right click on the desktop on my Computer (Computer), select Attributes (properties). You will see the system's Advanced settings (Advanced system setting) in the upper-left corner of this window on the interface.

Step Two: Select the first setting button in the New pop-up window. Enter the performance (performance) setting and select the bottom Change button in the Advanced tab to enter the interface to set up virtual memory.

Step three: First remove the checkmark in the first check box so that we can modify the size and location of the virtual memory ourselves. Select the system partition in the disk list, select No paging file, click the next Set button, select the non system partition, select System managed size below (the system automatically allocates size), and click the Set button. If a dialog box appears in the middle, select OK.

Two. Turn off the Hibernate function, save memory size disk space

Note that hibernation is not a sleep feature! General notebook users may be able to use, hibernation is to put all the data in memory, write to the hard disk, and then shut down the system, the next time the boot, will keep the data in the write back memory, the advantage is that you are working in progress, will be saved, even if the power is not gone back, That's why people often say that they don't have to shut down for months.

Most people do not use this feature very often, but we pay for it in vain for it and memory of the same size of disk space, thanks! In fact, we can start it when needed, usually directly close it.

How to turn the Hibernate feature on and off:

Copy the following code, paste it into Notepad, and then save the file as close to hibernation. bat

@powercfg-H off

Copy the following code, paste it into Notepad, and then save the file as open hibernation. bat

@powercfg-H on

When we want to turn off and turn on the Hibernate feature, it's easy to run the two bat files above with an admin ID.

Three. compress files, save 1G Space

In the case of Windows 7 folder, there is a mysterious folder, its name is WinSxS, its volume will probably have 3G. There are a lot of things, it is best not to randomly delete Oh! But we can also squeeze out the 1G space from it!

Specific steps to operate:

First we're going to add a new option to the right menu, "admin gets ownership". The method is simple enough to install an optimized software called Vista Manager. Right-click on the WinSxS folder you just mentioned and choose our newly added "admin to take ownership". This allows us to modify the properties of this folder. In those crazy pop-up cmd window disappears, we again right Select this folder's properties, select the advanced below ... button, place the Compress contents to save disk spaces (compress the content to conserve the space), and tick the check box on the front.

All the way click OK to confirm that the process of compressing the file began, the period may be prompted some files are in use, we directly choose to ignore all of the ignore all can, may last 20 minutes or so, the result is as follows:
