25. How to uninstall Windows XP
Phenomenon: The operating system I used was Windows 98. Recently, I heard that Windows XP was very good, so I installed the system. The first installation was from Windows 98. After installing, I felt that it was not good, so I formatted the partition of Windows XP and then installed it from DOS to D disk. After installing, I found that there are three items in the multi-boot menu (the first install of Windows XP is still there). How to delete the extra item? In addition, if I want to delete Windows XP, how can I completely delete it except formatting the D disk?
The startup menu of Windows 98 and Windows XP dual systems is controlled by a file in the root directory of the C disk. By modifying this file, you can change the startup menu. To delete the unnecessary Windows XP project, you can open the file in the root directory of the C drive, with two lines of duplicate "multi(0)..." and just delete one of the lines. To completely delete Windows XP, in addition to formatting the partition it is located, you must also delete the multi-boot menu and extra system files as follows:
(1) Create a Windows 98 boot disk and copy the files under Windows 98 into the system disk.
(2) Use this startup disk to start and execute the sys C: command under A:>.
(3) Delete the excess files in the root directory of the C drive, including:,,,,,,,,,, etc.

The function of hiding desktop icons has been added to Windows XP. You just need to click the blank space of the desktop with your mouse, select the "Arrange Icon" command in the pop-up right-click menu, and then cancel the "Show Desktop Icon" command in its next cascading menu, and the system will automatically hide all desktop icons.
If there are many icons on the desktop, you can rearrange the icons in the following ways: Right-click the blank area of the desktop, select "Arrange Icons" in the pop-up menu, and then click the icon arrangement rules in the next level menu.
Using Windows XP's "Desktop Cleaning" function, you can clean up icons that are not used on your desktop. The method is: In the General tab of the "Desktop" project dialog box above, if you select the "Run the Desktop Cleanup Wizard every 60 days" check box, the system will automatically run the Desktop Cleanup Wizard every 60 days to help you clean up the icons that are not used on the desktop. If you click the Clean Desktop Now button, the Desktop Cleanup Wizard will immediately open, moving the shortcut icon you do not use to a desktop folder called Unused Desktop Shortcuts. The wizard does not move, change, and delete any programs, and if you want to move an icon back to the desktop, you can restore it from the Unused Desktop Shortcuts desktop folder.

28. How to retrieve the icons connected to two computers
Phenomenon: My computer is installed with Windows XP. When I was surfing the Internet, the small icons connected to the two computers in the system tray disappeared, which often makes me not sure whether it is online. How should I restore it?
The reason why the small icon is missing is that the properties of the network connection are not set correctly. After dialing up to connect to the Internet in Windows 98, the small icon for the connection will automatically appear on the taskbar. If the small icon is missing, you can right-click "My Connection", select "Properties → Settings → Options", and select "Show Modem Status" to restore. In Windows 2000 and Windows XP, users can control and set the display and hide functions of connection icons. The specific method is to open the "Properties" dialog box for dial-up connections or network connections, and then select or clear the "Show icons in the notification area after connection" check box to enable the icon to be displayed or hidden.
29. How to make an automatic system recovery floppy disk
Phenomenon: I did not find the interface to create an emergency repair disk under Windows XP. How to make it? In addition, every time my Windows 98 starts, it prompts to enter the username and password. How to eliminate it?
The exact name of Windows XP's emergency repair disk should be "Automatic System Recovery (ASR) Floppy Disk", which can back up those system files required to boot the system. The method is to make it: click "Start → All Programs → Attachments → System Tools", then click "Backup", and click the "Advanced Mode" button in the Backup Tools Wizard. On the Tools menu, click "ASR Wizard"; then follow the prompts on the screen to operate (note: you should prepare to save the 1.44MB empty floppy disk set by the system in advance). The method of using is also very simple: Insert the installation CD of the Windows XP system into the CD drive and restart the computer. When the installation interface appears, press F2 and the system will prompt you to insert the previously created ASR floppy disk (ASR will not restore the data file). Please follow the on-screen wizard to automatically restore the system. In addition, even if there is no "Automatic System Recovery (ASR) floppy disk", you can use the "Repair" function to restore the Windows XP system boot menu. However, some personal special settings will be restored to the default settings, and if you use "Automatic System Recovery (ASR) floppy disk", you will not.
Every time Windows 98 starts, it prompts to enter the user name and password. You can press the "Esc" key to enter the Windows 98 desktop. At this time, you can use the password file in the Windows directory*. pwl delete. For example, the user name is "qq", and the corresponding password file is "qq.pwl", find it and delete it, then restart the computer, enter the original user name "qq" when the login window appears, and do not fill in the password, so it can be eliminated.
30. How to automatically close the program that stops responding
In the Windows XP operating system, this setting allows Windows XP to automatically close an application when it detects that it has stopped responding without cumbersome manual intervention.

31. Why can't Windows XP be installed
Phenomenon: I used the Windows 98 boot disk to start the computer and install Windows XP. It took me 6 hours to complete it. I heard from a friend that he only spent 1 hour on a machine with the same configuration as me to complete the installation of Windows XP (also booted with the Windows 98 boot disk). What is the correct installation method for Windows XP?
This is because you do not load the disk cache. This file is in the Windows 98 installation directory, called, copy it to the floppy disk, and run it before installation. In addition, you can set the startup sequence to boot from the CD, so that the Windows XP installation disk will automatically load the disk cache.
32. Why can't you install software under Windows XP
Phenomenon: When I installed the software on a microcomputer with Windows XP Home Edition, I saw "You do not have access to make the requried system configuration modifications. Please return this installation from an
administrators account.”. Why is this? This software can be installed normally under Windows 98. How to solve it?
In order to protect the security and stability of the system, Windows XP uses user account and password protection to control user operations. That is, only designated people can do designated things. Installing software and other operations to modify the system require the user to have the authority of the computer administrator to execute it. This is why you cannot install the software. I believe there are still many operations you cannot execute.
When the system is installed, the default "administrator" account is the administrator. You can use the following methods to make yourself an administrator:
(1) First, you must enter the computer as an administrator. Click "Login" on the "Start" menu to confirm that you are waiting for login, and press the "Ctrl+Alt+Del" key on the keyboard at the same time.
(2) In the pop-up dialog box, enter "administrator" in the user name box, and enter the password set during installation in the password box. If you do not set a password during installation, the password is of course empty, and then enter the carriage to enter the computer.
(3) Open the "User Account" in the "Control Panel" and you will see your user account with "Restricted Account" written next to it.
(4) Click to open your account and then click "Change Account Type". In the pop-up window, click the radio button to select Computer Administrator, and then click the Change Account Type button to confirm and exit. You can do what you want now.
In order to ensure the security of the computer, it is recommended that users set user passwords to avoid unnecessary losses due to security issues.
33. Why does it cause a crash when changing the hardware configuration?
Phenomenon: In Windows XP, the system cannot be started once the hardware configuration is changed. How to solve it?
This is because Windows XP uses the activation product program, which is the latest anti-pirated feature added by Microsoft in Windows XP. Since Activating the product program will generate a hardware number based on your computer's hardware configuration, if you change the hardware configuration, Activating the product program will find that the hardware configuration does not match it. At this time, the system will stop running and you will be asked to reactivate the product before you can run it again.
34. Why is the free space of Windows XP disk constantly decreasing
Phenomenon: When I use Windows XP, I found that as applications continue to increase and delete, the free space of the disk continues to decrease. Why is this?
Starting from Windows 2000, Windows will create a "System Volume Information" folder in each hard disk partition, and the system restore backup file saved by the system by default is provided in this folder. However, Windows 2000 has not officially provided system restore function. In Windows XP, you can see related options.
To prevent this problem from happening, the easiest way is to turn off the "System Restore" function. If you want to delete files saved in this folder, you need to log in to the system as Administrator.
35. Why does Windows XP take up a lot of space
Phenomenon: After installing Windows XP, I found that the folder of a user who logs in frequently takes up a lot of space, about 1.2GB; but other people who do not log in frequently only have about 10MB. What's going on?
Windows XP sets up their own folders for each user, and records all the operations of logged in users during use. At the same time, they also generate their own temporary files, cache files online, and share files generated when installing software (commonly used in the software). Therefore, the often logged in user folders must be large. Deleting temporary files and cached files on the Internet can save a lot of space.
