Accelerating work interface Windows XP

In case you have not found too much RAM, the more comfortable to work may need to switch off the function of visual effects (for example, the smooth deployment menu), which will undoubtedly slow down the system. To do so, follow these steps:

1. Right-click the mouse on the icon "My Computer" from the menu that appears, select Properties, then in the dialog box, "Internet system, moving to the" Advanced "tab, click on" Options "from the" Speed ".

5. Open the trunk [HKEY_CURRENT_ USER \ SYSTEM \ Control Panel \ Desktop].
6. In the right pane, select key Regedit MenuShowDelay. The default value is 400 - the time delay in milliseconds, which appear after a drop-down menu.
7. Double-clicking on the key, enter the value of "0" to eliminate delays. If you set the value of "1", the effect will be blocked when winding animation / razvorachivanii windows. Click OK.
8. Close the Registry Editor and restart the system.

Achieve accelerate launch applications, as well as free up some RAM can be disconnecting Dr.Watson debugger - a special program that allows for diagnosing errors. Do the following:

1. Start the registry editor (regedit.exe);
2. Open the trunk [HKEY_LOCAL_MA-CHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ AeDebug];

Accelerating work with the memory of Windows XP

There are a few registry keys, which modify, you can accelerate the work of the memory subsystem of Windows. Of course, should the parameters change with great caution because wrongly imposed values can lead to a full system fail. Please note that the methodology hereinafter lead to the proper effect only if you have quite a large amount of memory.

1. Start the registry editor (regedit.exe).
2. Open the trunk [HKEY_LOCAL_MA-CHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ Session Manager \ Memory Management]. There are several keys, which changed the values, we can help.
3. Key DisablePagingExecutive. If you enable this option system kernel and drivers will not be recorded in the Windows swap file (the so-called swap file, which represents a reserved space on the hard drive which is a temporary repository of information from RAM to release the latest), but will remain in the memory. Thus, the system and applications will be faster to respond to user actions, since the operation and I / O data from memory are performed with greater speed compared to the exchange of data on the hard drive. To enable this option assign key is the value of "1" to turn off his - the value of "0".
4. Key LargeSystemCache. Enabling this key, like the previous, forcing Windows to use memory to store system kernel (and thus speeds up access to it). To enable this option assign key is the value of "1" to turn off his - the value of "0".
5. Key IOPageLockLimit. Setting this option will accelerate the implementation of the input / output, with a large number of files transferred. The optimum value is set experimentally. Figures from which you can proceed approximately as follows: if you have installed 32 MB RAM, the parameter should be equal to approximately 4 MB with 64 MB - 8 MB, 128 MB - 16 MB, 256 MB or more - 64 MB. Identify new parameter value should be, in bytes. Because if, for example, you want to install a new meaning in the 16 Mb, multiply 16 twice in 1024.
6. Close the Registry Editor and restart the system.

Reduce the size of installed Windows XP

If you need free up space on your hard disk, you can reduce the amount already installed and configured your Windows XP Disposal or change any components that are not fundamentally important to the user.

First, you can delete the folder "% SystemRoot% \ DriverCache \ i386 \ 'where SystemRoot%%" is the way Windows system directory. Actually, at this address is a set of drivers needed, but if the system is already installed and in the near future will not be changing hardware, we can safely remove this folder. Later, if you need to update computer equipment, the system will require just insert a CD-ROM with installation copy of Windows.

Secondly, there is a so-called cache-protected system files. This is a special folder, which stores copies of important files original operating system. If any of the components of Windows is damaged, then it happens automatically restore from the cache. The size of this folder, the default is approximately 400 MB. You can adjust the cache size by the "sfc" (entered on the command line) to '/ cachesize ", which will determine its length. Then it is necessary to manually delete this directory, and if not ask / cachesize "equal to zero (" sfc / cachesize = 0 "), then for the next verification secure Windows system files once again fill their cache to default volume.

The third is for stable work proposes to use Windows System Restore. In case of any problem, this function will return the operating system to the state, as it was before the emergence of problems (although, of course, the benefits from the use of the opportunities are there questionable). However, along with this, and the growing volume occupied by information from previous Windows states. The amount of data recovery points can amount to 20% of the capacity of each of the logical disks. In order to completely disable this feature from the system, you need to do the following steps:

1. Right-click the mouse on the icon "My Computer" from the menu that appears, select Properties, then in the dialog box "system properties" tab "System Restore".
2. Check to the right of "Turn off System Restore on all drives."
3. Click OK.
