What are the tips for improving the running speed of Windows XP?

 

When using Windows XP, do you feel that the operating system is getting slower and slower over time? How can you greatly improve the speed of Windows XP if you do not want to install the system? The following describes several methods to speed up the system:

1. automatically shut down the stop Response Program

In some cases, XP will prompt you to stop responding to a specific program, which is annoying. You can disable it by modifying the registry, in HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Control Panel \ Desktop, change the value of the character key value AutoEndTasks to 1 and log off or start again.

2. Clear unused DLL files in the memory

In the HKKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion of the Registry, add an item AlwaysUnloadDLL in Explorer. The default value is 1. Note: If the default value is 0, this function is disabled.

3. Optimize network neighbors

When a Windows XP Network Neighbor is used, the system searches for its shared directory, printers that can be used as network shares, and scheduled tasks related to the network in the scheduled task, the speed will obviously be much slower. If these functions are not very useful to us, we can delete them. In the Registry Editor, find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ sofeware \ Microsoft \ Windows \ Current Version \ release e \ RemoteComputer \ NameSpace and delete {2227A280-3AEA-1069-A2DE08002B30309D} (printer) and {D6277990-4C6A-11CF8D87-00AA0060F5BF} (scheduled task), restart the computer, access the network neighbor again, you will find a lot faster.

4. Speed up startup

To speed up Windows XP startup. You can modify the Registry. In the Registry Editor, find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ Session Manager \ Memory Management \ PrefetchParameters and find the EnablePrefetcher primary key on the right, change the default value of 3 to 1, so that the scrolling time of the scroll bar is reduced.

5. Speed up on/off

When shutdown in Windows XP, the system will send a message to the running program and remote server, telling them that the system is shutting down and the system will start to shut down after receiving a response. To speed up the startup, You can first set the automatic termination task. First, find HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Control Panel \ Desktop and set the AutoEndTasks key value to 1. Then there is a "HungAppTimeout" under the branch ", change its value to "4000 (or less). The default value is 50000. Then, locate HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ System \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ and set WaitToKillServiceTimeout to" 4000 "; in this way, the shutdown speed is significantly faster.
