3. What is the function of the Smartdrv program?
Phenomenon: In many articles about the installation of Windows XP, it is mentioned: "If installing Windows XP under DOS is very slow, it must be that it has not run before installation. I would like to ask what is the file? How to use it specifically?
This file is definitely very clear to friends who are familiar with DOS. Its main function is to add cache for disk file reading and writing. As we all know, the read and write speed of memory is much higher than that of disks. If memory is used as a cache for disk read and write, it can effectively improve the system operation efficiency. This file is available in the installation CD of each version of Windows or in Windows/command/ on the hard disk, with only a few dozen KB. Copy this file to the floppy disk, run the program directly after starting the system (no parameters can be added, the program will automatically allocate the appropriate memory space as a cache according to the memory size), and then install Windows XP. Also, please remind everyone that after installing Windows, do not run this program, otherwise the available memory of Windows will be reduced.
4. What kind of file is it
Phenomenon: I just installed Windows XP, but when I installed the Antivirus, I found a virus. The file located in F:WINNT SYSTEM32 cannot be deleted, and the isolation cannot be done. Deleting it under Windows 98 or DOS will cause Windows XP to be unbooted? What is the use of this file and what is the solution?
This file is a driver file managed by Windows XP multi-user. There is a backup of this file in the X: WindowsSystem32Dllcache directory. Just copy this backup to X:WindowsSystem32 to replace the virus-containing file. Make a Windows 98 boot disk and copy the file to the floppy disk. This file is in the X:WindowsCommand directory on the machine with Windows 98. In the Advanced BIOS Features of BIOS, adjust the startup sequence to boot from disk A. After entering DOS, enter the X:WindowsSystem32 directory, enter Attrib -s -h -r, then enter the X:WindowsSystem32dllcache directory and enter the same command, then use copy X:WindowsSystem32 to overwrite the original file, and then restart.
5. What is the meaning of Windows XP boot menu
Phenomenon: Recently I installed the Windows XP operating system. I know that when pressing the F8 key at startup or when the computer cannot boot normally, I will enter the advanced options menu of Windows XP boot. Here you can choose 8 different modes except normal startup to start Windows XP. What do these patterns mean?
(1) Safe mode: When selecting safe mode to start Windows XP, the system only uses some of the most basic files and drivers to start. Entering safe mode is an important step in diagnosing a fault. If the problem cannot be determined after Safe Mode is started, or the Safe Mode cannot be started at all, you may need to use the emergency disk repair function to repair the system.
(2) Network security mode: Similar to security mode, but has added support for network connections. This option is useful in resolving startup failures for Windows XP in a LAN environment.
(3) Safe mode of command prompt: Similar to Safe mode, only use basic files and drivers to start Windows XP. But after logging in, the screen appears with a command prompt, not the Windows desktop.
(4) Enable startup log: Start Windows XP and record all drivers and services loaded by the system into files. The file name is located in the Windir directory. This log is useful for determining the exact cause of system startup problems.
(5) Enable VGA mode: Use the basic VGA driver to start Windows XP. This mode is useful when a new graphics card driver is installed that prevents Windows XP from booting properly, or fails due to improper refresh frequency settings. When starting Windows XP in safe mode, use only the most basic graphics card drivers.
(6) The most recent correct configuration: Selecting “Start Windows XP with ‘Last Right Configuration’” is a way to solve problems such as the newly added drivers do not match the hardware. Starting in this way, Windows XP only restores the information under the registry key HklmSystemCurrentControlSet. Any changes made in other registry keys remain the same.
(7) Directory service recovery mode: Not applicable to Windows XP Professional. This is for the Windows XP Server operating system and is only used to restore the Sysvol directory and Active Directory directory services on the domain controller.
(8) Debug mode: Start Windows XP and send debugging information to other computers through a serial cable. If you are or have installed Windows XP on your computer using Remote Installation Service, you can see additional options related to using Remote Installation Service to restore your system.
6. How to completely delete XP

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 a Windows 98 boot disk). What is the correct installation method for Windows XP?
This is because you are not loading 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 required system configuration modifications. Please return this installation from an administrators account." May I ask why this is? 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 the activation product program is used in Windows XP. The activation product program 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 disks continues to decrease. Why is this?
Starting from Windows 2000, Windows will create a "System Volume Information-mation" folder in each hard disk partition, in which the system restore backup file saved by the system by default. 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 (shared in software), so the often logged in user folders must be large. Deleting temporary files and cached files on the Internet can save a lot of space.
36. How to eliminate the document protection function of Windows XP
How to eliminate the document protection function of Windows XP?
In order to completely eliminate Windows document protection function, open the Registry Editor and set the key value: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoft Windows NTCurrentVersionWinlogon, and set the key value of SFCDisable to 0xFFFFF9D.
Open the "Control Panel", click "Administrative Tools → Local Security Policy → Local Policy → Security Options", double-click the "Shutdown: Clean up virtual memory page files", click the "Enabled" option in the pop-up menu, and click "OK".
2. How to configure Windows XP services by yourself
If you are using Windows XP on a stand-alone machine, many service components are not needed at all. Additional service programs affect the speed of the system and can completely disable these extra service components. Click "Start → Control Panel → Administrative Tools → Services" to bring up the service list window. Some services have been started, while others have not. We can view the corresponding service item description and close unwanted services. For example, "Alerter", if you are not connected to the LAN and do not need to manage alerts, you can turn them off.
3. What is the function of the Smartdrv program?
Phenomenon: In many articles about the installation of Windows XP, it is mentioned: "If installing Windows XP under DOS is very slow, it must be that it has not run before installation. I would like to ask what is the file? How to use it specifically?
This file is definitely very clear to friends who are familiar with DOS. Its main function is to add cache for disk file reading and writing. As we all know, the read and write speed of memory is much higher than that of disks. If memory is used as a cache for disk read and write, it can effectively improve the system operation efficiency. This file is available in the installation CD of each version of Windows or in Windows/command/ on the hard disk, with only a few dozen KB. Copy this file to the floppy disk, run the program directly after starting the system (no parameters can be added, the program will automatically allocate the appropriate memory space as a cache according to the memory size), and then install Windows XP. Also, please remind everyone that after installing Windows, do not run this program, otherwise the available memory of Windows will be reduced.
4. What kind of file is it
Phenomenon: I just installed Windows XP, but when I installed the Antivirus, I found a virus. The file located in F:WINNT SYSTEM32 cannot be deleted, and the isolation cannot be done. Deleting it under Windows 98 or DOS will cause Windows XP to be unbooted? What is the use of this file and what is the solution?
This file is a driver file managed by Windows XP multi-user. There is a backup of this file in the X: WindowsSystem32Dllcache directory. Just copy this backup to X:WindowsSystem32 to replace the virus-containing file. Make a Windows 98 boot disk and copy the file to the floppy disk. This file is in the X:WindowsCommand directory on the machine with Windows 98. In the Advanced BIOS Features of BIOS, adjust the startup sequence to boot from disk A. After entering DOS, enter the X:WindowsSystem32 directory, enter Attrib -s -h -r, then enter the X:WindowsSystem32dllcache directory and enter the same command, then use copy X:WindowsSystem32 to overwrite the original file, and then restart.
5. What is the meaning of Windows XP boot menu
Phenomenon: Recently I installed the Windows XP operating system. I know that when pressing the F8 key at startup or when the computer cannot boot normally, I will enter the advanced options menu of Windows XP boot. Here you can choose 8 different modes except normal startup to start Windows XP. What do these patterns mean?
(1) Safe mode: When selecting safe mode to start Windows XP, the system only uses some of the most basic files and drivers to start. Entering safe mode is an important step in diagnosing a fault. If the problem cannot be determined after Safe Mode is started, or the Safe Mode cannot be started at all, you may need to use the emergency disk repair function to repair the system.
(2) Network security mode: Similar to security mode, but has added support for network connections. This option is useful in resolving startup failures for Windows XP in a LAN environment.
(3) Safe mode of command prompt: Similar to Safe mode, only use basic files and drivers to start Windows XP. But after logging in, the screen appears with a command prompt, not the Windows desktop.
(4) Enable startup log: Start Windows XP and record all drivers and services loaded by the system into files. The file name is located in the Windir directory. This log is useful for determining the exact cause of system startup problems.
(5) Enable VGA mode: Use the basic VGA driver to start Windows XP. This mode is useful when a new graphics card driver is installed that prevents Windows XP from booting properly, or fails due to improper refresh frequency settings. When starting Windows XP in safe mode, use only the most basic graphics card drivers.
(6) The most recent correct configuration: Selecting “Start Windows XP with ‘Last Right Configuration’” is a way to solve problems such as the newly added drivers do not match the hardware. Starting in this way, Windows XP only restores the information under the registry key HklmSystemCurrentControlSet. Any changes made in other registry keys remain the same.
(7) Directory service recovery mode: Not applicable to Windows XP Professional. This is for the Windows XP Server operating system and is only used to restore the Sysvol directory and Active Directory directory services on the domain controller.
(8) Debug mode: Start Windows XP and send debugging information to other computers through a serial cable. If you are or have installed Windows XP on your computer using Remote Installation Service, you can see additional options related to using Remote Installation Service to restore your system.
6. How to completely delete XP
Phenomenon: I installed Windows Me and Windows XP dual systems, both of which are FAT32 format. Install Windows Me on C drive, and install Windows XP on E drive. Yesterday, the Windows XP system was lost and could not be started. So I entered the Windows Me system and directly deleted Windows XP on the E disk. However, every time you turn on the computer, a multi-system boot menu appears for selection. How can I completely delete XP?
Start with a Windows 9x/Me boot disk, enter "SYS C:" under "A:" and re-transmit the system to the C disk.
7. How to deal with the phenomenon that Windows XP cannot shut down automatically
Phenomenon: Sometimes my Windows XP cannot automatically turn off the computer. What should I do?
After installing Windows XP, some computers cannot automatically turn off after clicking to turn off the computer, but need to turn off manually like the previous AT power supply. This is mainly because Windows XP does not enable Advanced Power Management. Correction method: Click "Start → Control Panel → Performance and Maintenance → Power Options", in the pop-up power options property settings window, click "Advanced Power Management" and check "Enable Advanced Power Management Support".
8. How to create a shortcut to "lock computer"
What should I do if I need to leave because of an urgent matter, but I don’t want the computer to cancel the system?

25. How to uninstall Windows XP
Phenomenon: The operating system I used was Windows 98. Recently I heard that Windows XP is very good, so I installed the system. The first installation was from Windows 98. After installing, I felt that it was not very 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? Also, if I want to delete Windows XP, how can I delete it completely besides formatting the D disk?
The boot 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 boot menu. To delete unnecessary Windows XP projects, you can open the file in the root directory of the C drive, with two lines of duplicate "multi(0)..." and 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) Make 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 in 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 unselect 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 Cleanup" 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 the Internet in Windows 98, the small icon for that 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, I prompt for 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 that are 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 on-screen prompts (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, but some personal special settings will be restored to the default settings, and if using "Automatic System Recovery (ASR) Floppy disk", it will not.
Every time Windows 98 starts, it is prompted 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.

31. Why can’t Windows XP be installed?
Phenomenon: I used a Windows 98 boot disk to boot 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 a Windows 98 boot disk). What is the correct installation method for Windows XP?
This is because you are not loading 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 required system configuration modifications. Please return this installation from an administrators account." May I ask why this is? 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 the activation product program is used in Windows XP. The activation product program 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 disks continues to decrease. Why is this?
Starting from Windows 2000, Windows will create a "System Volume Information-mation" folder in each hard disk partition, in which the system restore backup file saved by the system by default. 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 (shared in software), so the often logged in user folders must be large. Deleting temporary files and cached files on the Internet can save a lot of space.
