Tips for using 10 Windows Platforms

Applications integrated on the Windows platform are diverse. Some of these applications are commonly used, while others are rarely used, I have summarized ten skills that may be frequently used for sharing and learning.
　　1. Restore the previous hardware driver
When a new hardware driver is installed and the system is unstable or the hardware cannot work, you only need to select the driver recover button in Device Manager, you can recover to the previous normal system status. However, the driver of the printer cannot be restored.
　　Ii. Automatic Login
Click Start → run, and enter "rundll32netplwiz. dll, UsersRunDll (without quotation marks), cancel "Users must enter auser name and password touse this computer" in User Accounts, and click "OK ", in the displayed dialog box, enter the username and password you want to log on.
　　3. Uninstall useless Dynamic Links
Resource Manager often leaves useless dynamic links in the memory. to eliminate this problem, you can open the Registry Editor and set the key value: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer.
Always Unload DLL = DWORD: 1 set it to 0, this function will be disabled. Note: To make the settings take effect, restart the computer.
　　4. Shortcut Keys for quick shutdown or restart (timed)
Right-click the desktop and select new (shortcut, In the displayed wizard, enter the following position: C: \ WINDOWS \ system32 \ shutdown.exe-s-t10 (where-s can be changed to-r, that is, restart, and-t10 indicates a delay of 10 seconds, you can change this number as needed ). After the shortcut key is created, specify an icon for it according to the above method. This quick shutdown or restart technique will display a pretty dialog box prompting you to shut down (restart), and you can add "-c" to the end to shut down! "", This sentence will be displayed in the dialog box, of course, you can write the text at will, but be careful not
　　5. Disable Automatic Updates
"Automatic update" is a new function launched by Windows XP to help users upgrade the system. This function can be used when Microsoft releases system upgrade patches or system security patches, users are automatically reminded to upgrade their systems. However, this feature requires users to always be online. However, this requirement is not harsh for the "poor" who have a lack of iron and silver, therefore, we disable the "Automatic Upgrade" function and change it to "manual upgrade ".
To disable auto update, right-click my computer/properties/auto update and select disable auto update in the notification settings column. I will update the computer manually.
　　6. Disable Remote Desktop
This feature allows others to access your desktop on another machine. This function is useful in LAN. For example, if you have a problem, you can ask a colleague for help. Instead of getting to you, you can directly access your machine through remote desktop to help you solve the problem. However, for ordinary users who only have one computer, this function is redundant, So we turn it off to prevent it from wasting memory. Right-click "my computer" and select "properties/remote" to remove the "allow users to remotely connect to this computer" check box in "Remote Desktop.
　　7. Restore the Windows classic interface
After installing Windows XP, many people feel that Windows has become very beautiful. It is a pity that the cost of beauty will consume the memory and memory that we are not rich. To restore the interface and usage habits similar to those of classic Windows, right-click the desktop and select the "properties" command to enter the "Display Properties" setting window. There are five tabs: "theme", "desktop", "Screen Saver", "appearance", and "Settings. The tab of the current tab is highlighted in yellow. The default tab is "topic". Here we only need to select "Windows classic" from the "topic" drop-down menu ", you can immediately see the Display Effect in the preview window, and the content of the appearance tab is also changed.
Note: in Windows XP, the "theme" and "appearance" tabs are closely related. You only need to change any of the options, and the corresponding changes will be displayed on the other tab.
　　8. Disable System Restoration
The "System Restore" function is an important feature of Windows operating systems. When a problem occurs during Windows running, restore the operating system. Although "System Restoration" is useful to people who often make mistakes, it puts your hard disk in a highly busy state and you will find that your hard disk is always busy, because Windows XP records operations for future restoration. If you have confidence in yourself, do not use it because it can occupy a lot of memory.
To disable the system restoration function, click Start/all programs/accessories/system tools/system restoration. On the System Restoration page, click "System Restore Settings" to enter the "System Restore Settings" window and clear the "Disable System Restore on All Drives" check box. In this way, Windows XP deletes the Backup System Restore Point, to release the disk space it occupies.
In general, to ensure both system performance and system security, we recommend that you enable the system restoration function of the drive letter where Windows XP is located.
　　9. Disable the "auto send Error Report" Function
We have such an experience in WindowXP. Once a program is terminated abnormally, the system automatically jumps out of a dialog box asking if you want to send an error to Microsoft, this is the "auto-send error" function in XP, which can send error messages to Microsoft's website. Although Microsoft has repeatedly vowed to provide powerful security protection without disclosing personal privacy, the information sent to Microsoft may contain the document information you are browsing or editing, this may include personal privacy or company secrets. Therefore, if you want to protect your rights, we should turn this function off without hesitation. Click Start/control panel/system/advanced, click Error Report, and select Disable Error Report ", the "notify me when a serious error occurs" below can be selected.
　　10. Reasonably set the virtual memory
For virtual memory files, Windows XP Always sets a large value for the security default value, which wastes a lot of hard disk space. In fact, we can set the value to a smaller value. The method is to enter "Control Panel/system/advanced/performance/settings/advanced/virtual memory/Change" and go to the virtual memory settings window, first, determine the drive letter of your page file, and disable all the page files of other drive letters. We recommend that you set it to another partition, rather than the partition where the default system is located. This increases the page file read/write speed and facilitates the system to run quickly. According to Microsoft's suggestion, the page file should be set to 1.5 times the memory capacity, but if your memory is large, it also occupies a considerable amount of space, so, if the memory capacity is below 1.5 MB, set it to times. The maximum value is the same as the minimum value. If the memory capacity is above MB, it is feasible to set it to half of the memory capacity.
Summary: In summary, most of these application skills on the Windows platform are based on system optimization. These skills can improve the system performance.
