Expand the virtual memory capacity If your hard drive is big enough, then "System" in the Control Panel, open "virtual memory" in the Performance option, select the second item: Users to set virtual Memory settings point to a few hard drives, and set the maximum and minimum values to a fixed value, the size is about 2 times the physical memory. In this way, when the virtual memory is using the hard disk, it is not necessary to move the difference in the little error, and the fixed space is used as a virtual memory to speed up the access speed. The setup of virtual memory is best performed after "Disk Defragmentation", so that virtual memory is not in a continuous, non-fragmentation space, which can make a better role.
2, let the password not during the period of moving Windows XP will remind you to replace the password 14 days before the password expires.

However, some users don't like the Windows logo key, then you can deactivate the Windows logo key by modifying the registry: Open the Registry Editor, select the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / System / CurrentControlSet / Control / Keyboard Layout] branch, then right find the side window or create a new "Scancode Map" named "REG_BINARY (binary)" subkey, double-click the subkey, its key set to "00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 03 00 00 00 00 00 5B E0 00 00 5C E0 00 00 00 00 ", exiting the Registry Editor, you will find the Windows logo key after restarting your computer. 6, let the driver signature no longer annoying in Windows 2000 / XP, usually when we install the driver of the device, the system checks if the driver passes Microsoft's signature authentication.

The following method can allow you to speed up. Open the Registry Editor, find hkey_local_machine / software / microsoft / windows / currentversion / expedition / recapterComputer / Namespace, find its branch {D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF}, then delete it.

Double-click the StimeFormat item, modify its "key value" to "h h h h points M m m m m m m m After restarting, you can see the display format of "H Point M" on the taskbar.
13. Increase the execution file path If the program you need to run is not in the specified directory, the DOS system generally uses the way to set the path in the automatic batch file to reach the purpose of automatically finding this program; in Windows, you can add more secretly. The program path, not by setting the automatic batch, this requires the above purpose by modifying the registry. For example, add the path to the "C: ProgramFilespdocpdoc.exe" file. First open the registry, and then find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionAppPaths location in the right window, create a file called "pdoc.exe" primary key, select the primary key, its default value is set to "C: ProgramFilespdocpdoc.exe"; then create a new named "Path "The primary key, set it to" C: ProgramFileSpdoc ". This can run the program by typing "PDoc.exe" or "PDOC" in the "Run" command line. In addition, you can set new primary keys for existing programs, such as the primary key that can add name "Word.exe" for MicrosoftWord 97. Suppose Word 97 is installed in the "C: ProgramFilesmicrosoftOfficeOffice" directory: Open the registry, select "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMICROSOFTWINDOWSCURRENTVERSIONAPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPMOFTOFTOWTED" Word.exe "primary key to select the primary key. To set its default value to "C: ProgramFileSmicrosoftOfficeOfficeWINWORD.EXE", the method of establishing a directory is the same as the above example. 14. It is forbidden to run automatically in general, and most applications that are automatically run when Windows startup are started with the following settings: In the "launch" program, add shortcuts if this method is used. Then we only need to remove their shortcuts from the "Start" program group to achieve the purpose of prohibiting them from running automatically. Modifying Windows Registry Database If you have known users such as CD player, you know that when you use these software, an icon will appear on the right side of the taskbar, which sometimes brings inconvenience. In fact, the registration items of these software from the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWARMICROSoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun branch. As long as you find the corresponding self-starting program in this branch, in addition, there may be a "SYSEXPLR" subkey under the "Run" primary key. If there is a subkey, you can empty the content, and you can also cancel the procedure starting from starting when Windows starts. So, how do we add a self-starting program in the registry? First find the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMICROSOFTWINDOWSCURRENTVERSIONRUN primary key, then establish a key value name "SySExplorer" on the right side of its window, and set it to "Explorer.exe", exit the registry editor, log out of the user to restart the computer, the system will Automatically run the resource manager. In addition, Windows also provides a one-time self-start function. Keep up with a "run" and "runonceeex" subkey behind the "run" primary key, you can set the new key value in these two sub-keys, allow the system to run a program, that is, only starting Windows next time Take effective.

Here you need to pay attention to selecting "The last correct configuration" does not solve the problem caused by the loss due to the driver or file being damaged. At the same time, select "The last correct configuration", Windows XP restores the information in the registry key_local_machine / system / currentControlSet. Any changes made in other registry keys remain unchanged. D.

However, restoring this operation is the registry after Windows XP just installed, so any changes and settings made after installation will be lost. The specific operation is as follows (here, Windows XP is installed under E: / Windows, the specific operation should change this folder according to the situation): (1) Enter the failed recovery console (2) Type the following command, press Enter for each 1 line Key 1 time: MD TMP COPY E: / Windows / System32 / Config / Sam E: / WINDOWS/TMP/sam.bak delete E: / Windows / System32 / Config / Sam Copy E: / Windows / Repair / Sam E: / Windows / RepAir / Sam E: / Windows / System32 / Config / SAM then replaces "SAM" characters in the latter line to "Software", "System", "Security", and "Default", and other 4 line commands, etc. 12 line commands). It should be noted here that friends who are familiar with DOS commands can remove the Delete statement, select "YES" when performing COPY; here, the COPY command does not support wildcard "*" and "?", Only one file can be copied once. If you have another computer available, you can use Notepad to create a text file for saving time, and you will copy all commands, for example, name R1.TXT, copy it into the Windows directory, and recover in failure Run the "Batch R1.txt" command in the Windows directory of the console. (3) Type "EXIT" to exit the fault recovery console, the computer will automatically restart and enter the Windows XP system directly in normal mode. This step needs to copy the registry file from the System Volume Information folder to recover the system settings, but this folder cannot be used under the fault recovery console, and it is not visible in the normal situation, so the first should change Several settings make the folder visible. (1) Restart the system to enter the Windows XP system from the "Security Mode" as an administrator group member (Adiministrat). (2) Enter the Resource Manager window, click "Tool" → "Folder Item", then click the "View" tab, "Hide File and Folders" in the Advanced Settings box "Show all files And folder "item," √ "before" hiding protected operating system file ", and finally click OK.
