Rejuvenation of the Wonderful Hand Teach You How to Save Scrapped Hard Drives

With the popularity of computers, our lives are already inseparable from it. The rapid development of technology has made us discover that upgrading has become an irreplaceable black hole. So how to save time and money to improve the efficiency of PCs, this article will give you ideas.

Memory optimization

After using the operating system of the Windows series for a period of time, it will generate many file fragments on its own, which occupy memory, resulting in slow operation.

Although the price of physical memory sticks has been reduced to very low, it is still a bit extravagant for some people who have no income but often use computers. For example, for example, a student who has no financial resources, how can he be embarrassed to ask his parents for money just to upgrade the computer...

Fortunately, MICROSOFT has taken these into consideration. There is a free lunch in the Windows operating system, virtual memory - virtual memory. Compared with physical memory real memory, virtual memory does save a lot of money. I believe everyone knows the difference between the price of the hard disk and the memory stick. The Windows XP operating system needs to occupy 128M memory, and it will increase significantly when running other applications. Everyone may have a computer fake death when running many applications, and it will recover after a while, or suddenly jump out of the dialog box, indicating that there is insufficient memory. At this time, the virtual memory must be re-arranged and set up, and more virtual memory can be added to better run the page files.

I believe that I don’t need to be too long-winded about how to increase the virtual memory of XP. Let’s talk about a simple optimization

First of all, software optimization is not within the scope of discussion. I recommend TweakRAM or PGWARE SuperRam. It is relatively simple to use, and you can understand it by passing the E-text a little.

a. Turn off automatic update

If you are not a user who has been connected to the Internet for a long time, it is recommended to turn off this feature and change to manual. MICROSOFT does not have new patches released at any time.

This not only reduces memory usage, but also releases more than 15% of the network width

b. Close terminal service

The terminal service is automatically turned on in XP system. If you use net start under CMD, you can see that. The reason why you don’t see port 3389 is turned on because under the remote tag on my computer, the last verification is not turned on. This service will also occupy part of the memory when running in the background. Therefore, the terminal service should be completely turned off.

c. Turn off the system restore function

Also in my computer's system restore tag, it occupies a lot of memory, because the XP system needs to record your operations to facilitate future recovery. If you are confident in yourself, it is better to turn it off. Personally, I have felt how useless this function is from WIN ME.

d. Close the error report

Selecting in system properties, those error reports are useful to Microsoft companies and are of no use to ordinary users. Why do we waste our time collecting information for them?

e. Turn off multiple effects in win xp system

System properties - Advanced - Performance - Settings - Check out items without actual value in the pop-up visual effects tag, which can save a lot of memory usage, but if you are reluctant to leave XP's beautiful appearance, forget it.

f. Close redundant services

Start-Control Panel-Administrative Tools-Services

There are many useless services running here. A few days ago, I updated an article on service comparison on the Heiji homepage. You can query and close the services that are useless to you. If a user without a printer turns off the printer spooler and does not perform tasks regularly, close the task scheduler. I will talk about it in detail later in the system optimization.

XP system optimization

a. Turn off hibernation support

Hibernation support will occupy a lot of hard disk space. In order to save resources, we can turn it off.

Control Panel - Performance & Maintenance - Power Options - Hibernate - Remove the hook.

b. Close

Run drwtsn32--dump all thread contexts will not be deleted

c. Close unnecessary services

alerter

No need to manage alarms if you don't have LAN connections

clipbook

No need to view the clip page of the remote scrapbook

distributed link tracking client

No ntfs partition is used and no inter is connected

distrbuted transaction coordinator

No need to process multiple databases or folders at the same time

fax service

Send or receive faxes without using win 2000

ftp publishing service

Don't do ftp

iis admin service

Don't do WWW server

indexing service

No remote file indexing and fast access are provided

internet connection sharing

Don’t use win 2000 to make a Luyou server, allowing multiple people to share the Internet.

ipsec policy agent

Not connected to win2k domain

(The following is omitted, please check the article I mentioned for details)

d. Optimize switching machine time

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/system/currentcontrolset/control

Set waittokillservicetimeour to 1000

HKEY_CURRENT_USER/CONTROLPANEL/DESKTOP

Set waittokillapptimeout to 1000

Set hungapptimeout to 200

HKEY_CURRENT_USER/controlpanel/desktop

Set autoendtasks to 1



All items in the startup tag of msconfig are useless. Click to disable them all, but if you are a network user, you must enable firewall and virus monitoring.

f. Optimize win xp prefetcher

Prefetcher manages program initialization information when Windows starts, specifying that the program can be loaded quickly in future use. Prefetcher is turned on by default, but the performance still needs to be further improved. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CURRENT/CONTROL/SETCONTROL/
SESSIONMANAGER/MEMORYMANAGEENTPREFETCHPARAMETERS

Modify the value of enableprefetcher to any and select the appropriate value for your machine. The default is 3, and the recommended one is 5.

g. Optimize compressed folder

Start - Run -regsvr32 /u

h. Optimize DLL files

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/MICROSOFT/WINDOWS/
CURRENTVERSION/EXPLORER

Create a double byte with alwayssunloaddll value of 1.

i. Optimize taskbar

Control panel - Date, Time, Region and Language Options - Region and Language Options - Language Selection Details, select the preferred language bar in the settings window, close the display language bar on the desktop, and check the third item in front of the third item. If voice and handwriting recognition are not required, you can turn off the advanced language and text service. This can avoid feigning deaths in QQ, IE, etc.

j. Issues of optimizing win xp online upgrade

Use notepad to open the hosts file under c:windowssystem32driversetc and add it to it

207.68.131.21

k. Optimize pre-read files

When the winXP system is used for a period of time, the pre-read folder will become large, and there will be many dead connection files in it. These will delay the system startup time, so you need to delete these files. (c:windowsprefetch)

l. Optimize NTFS file system

The benefits of ntfs are well known, and it has good disk performance and partition management performance, but it still has its shortcomings. If you cancel the update and finally access the disk in turn, the system will slow down the running speed for larger partitions.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/currentcontolset/control/filesystem

Add a dword value of 1

m. Optimize dynamic connection

The resource manager often leaves useless dynamic connections in memory, which can be eliminated as follows:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/MICROSOFT/WINDOWS/
CURRENTVERSION/EXPLORERALWAYS UNLOADDLL=DW-ORD:1 Set the value to 0
