Windows7 optimization of speed up complete treasure

Windows7 (hereinafter referred to as WIN7) official version of the release has been two months, because of good compatibility, the focus of Win7 users is also from the initial compatibility transfer to the system optimization. But for the general user, System optimization is only a concept, concrete how to operate but often can not do. In this paper, we select some obvious and more safe and effective methods, hope that through these optimization methods to further improve your Win7 experience, so that the system to run faster, more stable and more secure.

Note: In order to facilitate the operation, the article is partly set up with Third-party software "Rubik's Cube" to complete. You can login to its official website http://www.tweakcube.com/download the latest version.

No money upgrades--performance optimization

Win 7 is not as expensive as Vista, but is not a fuel-efficient lamp, a large number of background services and rich system effects so that Win7 memory footprint is high, in some small memory of the computer will affect performance. Therefore, the proper performance optimization of Win 7 is not only necessary, but also very obvious.

Improve efficiency shut down useless system services

Disabling useless system services can not only reduce the memory footprint of the system, but also speed up the response of the system. The basic optimization settings can be completed by Rubik's Cube.

Open the Rubik's Cube, select "System optimization → service Optimization", click the "Service Optimization Guide", you can refer to the description of the Rubik's Cube and the combination of their own needs to choose disabled Services, and then click "Save Settings Complete optimization", restart the computer to complete the basic system service optimization settings.

But the Rubik's Cube list of services is not comprehensive, more can shut down the system service or to our own hands to complete, according to your actual situation, refer to table 1 settings.

Speed up disabling unwanted startup items

Too many startup items can consume a large amount of system memory and slow down the startup speed of the system. Disabling programs that are not commonly used can lead to significant improvements.

Open the Rubik's Cube "System setup → system boot Add-ins", according to the tip of the items are not commonly used to remove the selection. However, it is best to keep the startup items for some drivers.

Master Dong tips: If you do not understand these programs, you can also choose to use 360 of the boot management, you can follow the relevant instructions to operate. More intuitive for computer beginners.

Save memory system visual effects customization

Win7 's beautiful interface takes up a lot of memory, and if your memory isn't so "rich," it's obviously a better choice to turn off some of the effects.

Right-click the "Computer" icon, select "Properties → advanced system Settings", click "Settings" in the "Performance" box, and then close some effects, such as turning off "fade or slide menu to view", and so on, as shown in Figure 1.

After the above three steps of optimization, Win7 memory footprint can be significantly reduced, in the low memory configuration of the computer on the performance improvement effect is very obvious.

However, some of the features of Win 7 have nothing to do with system memory, such as the delay of the "taskbar thumbnail" feature, which is due to system-set problems and therefore needs to be resolved by modifying the registry.

Accelerate the display of taskbar thumbnail display speed optimization

Enter "regedit" in "Run" to open Registry Editor, navigate to "Hkey_current_usercontrol Panelmouse", find "mousehovertime" on the right and double-click to open, fill in "100" in "Numerical data", When you are sure, close Registry Editor and restart your computer. This delay is basically gone, and when the mouse is moved to an item on the taskbar, the thumbnail is immediately visible.

In addition to some of the features of the delay phenomenon, due to some applications have lost their response to shutdown or restart the system does not shut down properly is also a Win7 a more vexing problem.

End Task reduce wait time to close service

Similarly, open Registry Editor and navigate to "Hkey_local_machinesystem Currentcontrolsetcontrol", find "waittokillservicetimeout" on the right, and change the value to "1000 , then close the Registry Editor and restart the computer after you have determined. When the setup is complete, Win 7 does not spend a lot of time shutting down the unresponsive service.

To cancel the prompt for the user to confirm a forced shutdown

In addition to the above, when the shutdown Win7 confirm that a program has lost the response can not be closed, but also ask the user whether to force shutdown (as shown in Figure 2), when we generally hope that win 7 can immediately shutdown. The setting method is done through Group Policy.

Enter "Gpedit.msc" in "Run" to open the Group Policy manager. Open the Computer configuration → administrative Templates → system → shutdown options, double-click "Turn off automatic termination of applications that will block or cancel shutdown", select Enabled, and then close Group Policy manager after you decide. So Win 7 is much more refreshing when it's shut down or restarted.

All of the above are introduced are more practical performance optimization methods, and these methods in the operation of the premise of the correct is safe, we can according to their actual needs to choose. However, it should be noted that for registry modification, we do not recommend the normal user or novice to modify, if necessary, you can consider asking others to help set up.

The province is also to be saved--disk space optimization

Like to download friends have a consensus: "Hard disk is not enough." With the popularity of broadband, online resources are "rich" to their own hard drive, the hard disk will be stuffed. If your computer hard disk space is limited, then through optimization to make the system less occupy some space, can effectively alleviate the problem of hard disk space tension.

No extravagance. Disable System Hibernate function

Like XP and Vista systems, it takes a lot of space to hibernate files in Win7. In general, the hibernation feature is rarely used, so if your hard disk space is not "rich", then you can consider disabling hibernation. The method is simple, open the Run window and enter the "cmd" command to return to the command Prompt window, and then enter "powercfg-h off" carriage return to complete.

Saving basic expenses deleting unwanted system files

Win7 's system folders have files that are useless to most users, and we can delete them based on our own circumstances. Open the Rubik's Cube "System cleaning → system disk thin body", point "system disk Analysis", according to the proposal of the Rubik's Cube to delete their own useless files, can save up to 1GB more space (as shown in Figure 3).

Cleaning up trash files and thrift benefits

After the system runs for a period of time, it will produce a lot of useless cache files, and these files in addition to occupy the system space, basically no other "role." Therefore, we can clean the garbage files which are produced in the system running periodically.

Open the cube "Junk file Scan", select the system inventory "scan", and then follow the prompts to complete the deletion (as shown in Figure 4).

Master Dong tips: In addition to the Rubik's Cube, there are many other software to clean up the system's junk file function. For example, Windows7 optimization master, but also can clean up the garbage file, you can clean the registry. However, the risk factor for registry operations is high and it is recommended that you do not clean registry operations without frequent installation and uninstall software.

Compress the "WinSxS" folder

You may not know that the "WinSxS" folder in the Windows directory in Win7 occupies about 5.6GB of space, but this folder is important to the system and cannot be deleted. What about it? We can reduce the amount of space it occupies by compressing the method.

In the Rubik's Cube "System settings → right menu → add right Menu", select "Administrator to take Ownership", click Application Restart Computer. Right-click on the folder "WinSxS" to select "Administrator takes ownership", and a command prompt window pops up with a large number of action characters, patiently waiting for it to complete.

Next, on the folder "WinSxS", right-click the "Properties → advanced" button. and select "Compress drives to conserve disk space" and select "Apply changes to this folder, subfolders, and files" to make sure that the system pops up the Windows "Apply attributes to ..." window, as well, patiently waiting for the operation to complete. If you have a prompt to use the file, select Ignore All.

After compression, look at the size of the WinSxS folder, compared to the uncompressed disk space consumption of less than 1GB, the effect is significant (as shown in the following figure).

After these optimizations, Win7 's own disk space can be reduced by more than 3GB, for those hard disk space is not too rich users is absolutely good news. And these optimization methods are relatively safe, and will not affect the normal operation of the system.

Conclusion:

In this article, we mainly introduce some system performance and disk space optimization methods, through these optimization settings, you can make your Win7 faster, less resources occupied! Whether the configuration is low or high configuration of the computer, can bring significant results.
