Windows 2003 operating system acceleration tricks

Although Microsoft's Windows Server 2003 is the corresponding server, many friends are still ready to move and want to rise faster. However, after installation, you will find that there are many troubles. If there is no function, it will not be enabled. Even listening to music and playing games will become a problem.

In fact, Server 2003 strengthened security and stability in XP, and had to shut down some workstation systems. We use Win 2003 as a workstation, and of course we need to reopen these services to redeem it. Those server functions that are not needed can also be removed from weight loss.

Close the Server Wizard

After installing win 2003, you will find "Manage your server" appears, and check "Don't display this page when logging in" in the lower left corner. If you can't find it when you boot up, you can go to Control Panel - Administrative Tools - Manage Your Server to find it

User account login

In 2003, I used the server's ctrl+alt+del login method. There is no Win XP login welcome, but it is better to create an account to log in with personalization. In Start-Run-Enter ""-Local User and Group. Right-click to create "New User" in the user, enter account information and create an account.

Then add the newly created account to the administrator group, right-click on the new user, select Properties - affiliated - Add Add... - Advanced - Find now, double-click the administrator to get the similar permissions of Administrator.

Close event tracker

One of the essential features of the server, start-run-enter "", open the Group Policy Editor, and click on the right

Install a firewall

Even though Win2003 is highly secure and we often upgrade system patches, we cannot guarantee that we will not be attacked. However, Win2003 requires special programs, and ordinary stand-alone software cannot be installed, so the server version of the program must be used.

Improve system performance

Right-click the "My Computer" icon, enter the Properties-Advanced-Performance-Settings, and adjust it to the best performance.

Accelerate taskbar

Except for "keep the taskbar at the front end of other windows", the reasons are as follows:

Automatically hide the taskbar: avoid not finding the taskbar and occupying the system

Group similar taskbar buttons: The program is too centralized and difficult to find

Display clock: If you have a watch or a mobile phone, you don’t need to use a clock

Hide inactive icon: I don't know which apps are being used now

Customize the classic start menu

Only use "Show Run" and "Show Small Icons in the Start Menu". The others are expanded to the taskbar and add special effects and functions. Remember! The fewer functions, the faster you will be.

Improve display speed

Right-click on the desktop to enter the display properties, turn off the desktop wallpaper and screen protector, and remove all the hooks in the Appearance-Effect.

Explorer speed up

On Explorer or My Computer, select Tools-Folder Options-General, and select "Use Windows Traditional Style Folders".

Remove all options except "Hide protected operating system files" and "Hide extensions of known file types". In particular, turn off the items "Remember the view settings of each folder", "Show prompt information when the mouse points to folders and desktop items", and "Show file size information in folder prompts" to remove the personalized settings.

The third is the optimization of the explorer. The "list" form is used in viewing to display the content with the smallest icons and information. In the toolbar menu, remove all the standard buttons and links. All of these functions can be achieved through shortcut keys, leaving more is useless.

Turn off the desktop icon

Right-click on the desktop, select Arrange icons, remove the checkmark that displays the desktop icons, turn off all icons, and save a lot of resources.

IE optimization

IE's interface optimization is basically the same as the Explorer, both of which minimizes the function bars as much as possible, leaving only the address bar. However, there are many fun things in the Tools-Internet option.

General - You can change the home page with blank pages, and you don’t need to load any web pages when opening, and you can fly

Advanced - Multimedia, remove "Enable Automatic Image Size Resolution" and directly display the entire image to reduce IE's workload.

Browse, remove "Enable offline projects synchronize as planned". In today's so popular broadband monthly packages, what's the use of offline?

Remove "Use Smooth Scroll" and let the navigation bar on the left quickly turn the page according to the normal page up/down method.

Remove "issuing notification after downloading is completed", and even if you download it, you will notify it.

Remove the "Show Go button in the address bar", and we are not very useful to the URL you go to.

Remove "automatically check Internet Explorer updates", manual updates are always faster than automatic updates, and there is no need to let IE pay attention to whether updates are needed.

Turn off automatic update

Right-click on the My Computer icon, System Properties - Automatic Update, remove "Keep My Computer Latest". Let us develop the good habit of updating ourselves regularly, so that we can avoid being attacked by viruses such as "shock waves".

Turn off remote assistance

Right-click on the "My Computer" icon, System Properties - Remote, generally turn off all remote assistance to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Use power consumption mode

To keep the computer in the best condition, turn off all power saving modes, select the "Demo" solution in the Control Panel-Power Usage Solution, and never turn off the monitor, hard disk or put the system on standby.

Keyboard speed

In the Control Panel-Keyboard, pull both "Repeat Delay" and "Repeat Speed" to the right, and you will immediately see the results when editing text.
