Previous article: Playing with Win XP registry performance optimization
Microsoft's Windows XP has been released for a long time, and I believe many friends have upgraded their operating system to XP. This operating system that is known as the most powerful yet. It has indeed improved greatly in its functions and interfaces compared to previous Windows operating systems, but the newly installed Windows XP system is not in the best state. Most functions and interfaces are set according to preset values. Today, I will teach you how to transform the Windows XP nervous system-registry to make your Windows XP performance better and more personalized.
1. Speed up the power on and off
In [Start]-->[Run]-->Type [Regedit]-->[HKEY_CURRENT_USER]-->[Control Panel]-->[Desktop], change the numerical data of the string value [HungAppTimeout] to [200], and change the numerical data of the string value [WaitToKillAppTimeout] to 1000.
In addition, in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE]-->[System]-->[CurrentControlSet]-->[Control], change the numerical data of the string value [HungAppTimeout] to [200], and change the numerical data of the string value [WaitToKillServiceTimeout] by 1000.
2. Automatically close the stop response program
In [Start]-->[Run]-->Type [Regedit]-->[HKEY_CURRENT_USER]-->[Control Panel]-->[Desktop], change the numerical data of the string value [AutoEndTasks] to 1, and restart.
3. Clear unused DLL files in memory
In [Start]-->[Run]-->Type [Regedit]-->[HKKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE]-->[SOFTWARE]-->[Microsoft]-->[Windows]-->[CurrentVersion], add an item [AlwaysUnloadDLL] to [Explorer], and set the default value to 1.
Note: If the default value is set to [0], this function is disabled.
4. Accelerate broadband access speed
(1) Home version:
In [Start]-->[Run]-->Type [regedit]-->In [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE]-->[SOFTWARE]-->[Policies]-->[Microsoft]-->[Windows], add an item named [Psched], and add a Dword value [NonBestEffortLimit] to the right window of [Psched]. The value data is 0.
(2) Commercial version:
In [Start]-->[Run]-->Type [], open the local computer policy, select [Computer Configuration]-->[Administrative Templates]-->[Network]-->[QoS Packet Scheduler], double-click "Limit the Retainable Bandwidth" in the window on the right, select "Enabled" and set "Bandwidth Limit (%)" to 0 Application-->Confirm, and restart.
5. Speed up the menu display
In [Start]-->[Run]-->Type [Regedit]-->[HKEY_CURRENT_USER]-->[Control Panel]-->[Desktop], change the numerical data of the string value [MenuShowDelay] to [0]. After adjustment, if you think the menu display speed is too fast and you are not suitable, change the numerical data of [MenuShowDelay] to [200] and restart.
6. Accelerate the automatic refresh rate
In [Start]-->[Run]-->Type [Regedit]-->[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE]-->[System]-->[CurrentControlSet]-->[Control]-->[Update], change the numerical data of Dword[UpdateMode] to [0], and restart.
7. Speed up the reading preview capability and improve the startup speed
Windows XP read-pre-setting can increase system speed and speed up startup. Press Modify to further make better use of the efficiency of the CPU: In [Start]-->[Run]-->Type [Regedit]-->[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE]-->[SYSTEM]-->[CurrentControlSet]-->[Control]-->[SessionManager]-->[MemoryManagement]. In the window to the right of [PrefetchParameters], change the numerical data of [EnablePrefetcher] as follows. For example, if you use the PIII 800MHz CPU above, change the numerical data to 4 or 5, otherwise it is recommended to keep the numerical data as the default value, that is, 3.
8. Use the CPU's L2 Cache to speed up overall performance
In [Start]-->[Run]-->Type [Regedit]-->[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE]-->[SYSTEM]-->[CurrentControlSet]-->[Control]-->[SessionManager]. In the right window of [MemoryManagement], change the numerical data of [SecondLevelDataCache] to the same decimal value as CPU L2 Cache: For example: The L2 Cache of P4 1.6G A is 512Kb, and the numerical data is changed to the decimal value 512.
9. Run the Defrag program when starting the computer
In [Start]-->[Run]-->Type [Regedit]-->[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE]-->[SOFTWARE]-->[Microsoft]-->[Dfrg]-->[BootOptimizeFunction], and set the string value [Enable] to: Y is equal to on and N is equal to off.
10. Automatically close the stop response program when shutting down
In [Start]-->[Run]-->Type [Regedit]-->[HKEY_USERS]-->[.DEFAULT]-->[Control Panel], then change the value data of [AutoEndTasks] to 1 in the right window of [Desktop], and log out or restart.
