You can also disable PrefetCher, just set the value to 0. However, unless it is for testing, the average will not be stupid to set it to 0.
8, compressed folder
This is a quite optimization, Windows XP has built-in support for .zip files, we can use the ZIP file as a folder. However, the system uses some resources to implement this function, so disabled this feature can improve system performance. The implementation method is very simple, just cancel the registration of zipfldr.dll, click Start - run, knock: regsvr32 / u zipfldr.dll. Then use it to enter.
9, do not load the DLL file
The browser often has some DLL files to cache a long period of time in memory, and a large part of the memory will be used by the DLL file. In order to prevent this, find the registration list as follows:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWaremicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorer
Next, create a double-byte value called AlwaysunloadDLL, the value of 1.
If you want to remove this optimization, just set this key value to 0 (you can also delete the key).
10. Fully turn off the Windows XP file protection. This trick use

The text color on the button will turn red, and you can also modify the width and height of the button and the background. 20, modify the right mouse button
We know that you can modify the right mouse mouse by the registry at 98, actually in WinXP. The method is as follows: Here you add "Browse with DOS Windows" as an example on the right mole menu.
1) Open the registry editor, find hkey_classes_rootdirectoryShell, then select it, click the right button, create a primary key, name "DOS", then select the newly created primary key, double-click the default string value, in the pop-up dialog box Enter "Browse with DOS Windows", then select the newly created primary key, build a primary key, name "Command", select the "Command" primary key, modify the default value "cmd.exe / k" cd% L "" I.e.
2) Check: Press the mouse button on any of the folders, you can see "Browse with the DOS window" in the pop-up menu, select the DOS window to browse here, press the left mouse button, see no, DOS window played out!
21. Modify the system ID number (it is important in winxp in WinXP)
We can see a string of numbers in the regular tab in the system properties, such as: 55661-005-0809362-22169, etc. This is the ID number. The genuine WinXP each set of ID numbers is different (you should guess my purpose?), Can we modify it? Of course, you can (nonsense! If you don't have it necessary to write this article). Come with me, look at my skills!
1) The ID number is stored in the registry. Mainly in these few key values:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMICROSOFTINTERNET ExplorerRegistration string ProductID
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMICROSOFTUSER INFORMATION String Product Identity / * If you don't use it to Microsoft registration, here don't appear here * /
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMICROSOFTWINDOWSCURRENTVERSION string ProductID
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMICROFTWINDOWS NTCURRENTVERSION string ProductID
The above four places are the key value of the ID in the registry, and when modified, the above modification is modified, and the regular label inside the system properties will be changed, so as to avoid failure, resulting in the ID restore.
22, modify the version number:
There is an internal version number on Windows (official version: 2600.xpclient.010817-1148), this version number is also stored in the registry, the specific location is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINOFTWAREMICROSOFTWINDOWS NTCURRENTVERSION, which is recorded, modified by a string This name is called BuildLab's string to modify your XP version number. 23, delete files to hidden trash
The default location of the Windows XP trash can is on the lower right corner of the desktop, on the bottom system tray. If the user opens multiple windows, the trash can be blocked, and the user cannot drag the file and folder to the trash can. To this end, Microsoft specializes in a very humanized design. When the user drags a batch of files and moves to the lower right corner of the desktop, the user can drag the mouse and move all files to the white area of the desktop's bottom task bar, and After staying there for a few seconds, all open window will minimize, allowing users to drag files into the trash. In addition, whether the user performs the above operation, whether the user performs the above operation, the effect of minimizing all the windows can be implemented.
24, music catalog picture
Windows XP provides a lot of more advanced management functions over the previous Windows operating system, including a photo book generator, which can automatically place the record cover image into the music folder corresponding to the saved music folder (these music) The file is generally Microsoft's WMA format file). Although this feature is very convenient, there are some problems. For example, if some users have previously transcribed some music CD discs into MP3 format and save on the hard disk, although users can download the CD discs from some music websites such as "www.cdnow.com" and "www.amguide.com". The cover page, but the user can only manually add these cover pages to each music folder. This will take a long time, and once the user reinstalls the operating system, the above complex operation is repeated.
How to solve this problem? In fact, it is not complicated. When the user downloads the music record cover picture, save the image file name as "folder.jpg" and put it into the corresponding music folder so that the Windows XP system will automatically default to the folder. The thumbnail image, and if the user uses the Media Player for Windows XP (MPXP) player to play music files, the system will automatically display the record cover image. There is no problem even if the user reinstalls the operating system later.
In addition, if the user has a demand, you can save a smaller image file called "Albump Mall.jpg" when the "Folder.jpg" file is saved, this is the benefit of doing this if the user uses the MPXP player Play the music file, but the window of the player is less than 200 x 200 pixels, which can display this smaller picture directly, otherwise the player needs to process "folder.jpg", adjust its size, to display Small windows, which naturally has a certain impact on the speed of file calls.
25. Easy hard disk fragmentation computers have a large number of file fragments for a while, and users need to cancel the disk defragmentation process. To do this, provide you with a way to make you more convenient to organize the hard disk debris program.
The user uses "Notepad" to edit a registry import file named "Context_Defrag.inf" and enter the following in this file:
Context_defrag.inf
Adds Defrag to the Right Click Context Menu in Windows XP
[Version] Signature = "$ Chicago $"
[DefaultInstall]
AddReg = AddME
[Addme]
HKCR, "DriveshellDefragcommand", "defrag.exe% 1"
After editing, right and mouse right and select "Install". After installing, you add a text menu in the Windows XP operating system. When the user needs to organize the hard disk, open "My Computer", use the mouse right to select the hard disk drive letter, select "DEFRAG" item from the pop-up text menu, and the system will automatically call the built-in "defrag." Exe "program to organize your hard drive.
If the user needs to delete the information installed to the system registry, use the regedit.exe registry editor to edit modification, concretely in the "HKEY_CLASES_ROOTDRIVESHELL" directory entry, delete the "defrag" folder, and finally closed registration Table editor.
26, clear shared folders
Windows XP Operating System A more unfrigious user interface is in the top half of the "My Computer" window displays all shared folders, if the user sets a shared folder, whenever you open the "My Computer" window, There will be a lot of shared folder information. How to delete this information display? Use the Registry Editor and look for this primary key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE SOFTWARE Microsoft Windows CurrentVersion Explorer My Computer Namespace DelegateFolders", there is a name under this primary key
{59031A47-3F72-44A7-89C5-5595FE6B30EE} of the sub-key to delete the sub-key to clear those shared folder information. The above modifications can take effect without restarting.
27, display sharing settings label
The operation is very simple when the user sets the shared property of the folder in the Windows 2000 operating system, just click the folder with the mouse and select the property, you can see the shared setting tag. When the Windows XP system settings folder sharing is more complicated, the user cannot see the shared setting tag through the above operation. The specific modification is as follows: Open "Tool" in My Computer, select "Folder Properties", call up the "View" tab, scroll to the "User Set" section to the bottom "Use Simple File Sharing" "The previous choice cancels, and if there is also the" MICKEY MOUSE "item in the option bar, it will be canceled. This modified users can make it easy to modify the folder properties like using Windows 2000.
28, call system sound solution
Windows XP provides a better sound solution than the previous Windows operating system, but the system is not called by default. In order to activate the scheme, we need to do the following: Open the Control Panel, select the "Sound, Voice, Audio Device" item, find the "Modify Sound Scheme" taskbar, select "Windows Default" in the open dialog At this time, the system prompts whether the user saves the previous sound scenario setting, and the user can select "No" and click "OK" to complete the modification.
29, speed up the display of the start menu
The default start menu of the Windows XP system is slow, but the user can speed up the registration key value, the specific method is to open the registry editor, look for "HKEY_CURRENT_USER Control Panel Desktop Menushowde" primary key, the system default is 400, users You can properly adjust the key value according to your own preference, the lowest can be set to "0". If this method is invalid, select "Display Properties" from "Control Panel", select "Advanced" in "Show Effect", cancel the "Show Menu Shadow" item, so you can speed up the start menu. 30, let the welcome window clearer
The display effect of the Windows XP system has been greatly improved, which is primarily based on it uses a clear technology called "ClearType", which specializes in the use of laptops and liquid crystal displays to feel when running a Windows XP operating system. Different from the previous system. However, because the clear effect is only called after Windows is started, this effect cannot be achieved in the system startup process. In order to make the welcome window clearer, users can modify using the Registry Editor and find these two primary keys.
"(DEFAULT USER) HKEY_USERS. DEFAULT Control Panel Desktop Fontsmoothing
String value "" and "HKEY_USERS .DEFAULT Control Panel Desktop FontsmoothingType
(HEXADECIMAL DWORD VALUE ", modify the key value to" 2 ", which can achieve a clear display effect.
31. It is forbidden to call "Windows Messenger" when starting.
In order to promote the instant chat program "Windows Messenger" introduced by Microsoft, the default setting of the Windows XP operating system is to call the program when the system is started. But if you are not used to using the program, you can implement this button by deleting "HKEY_CURRENT_USERSERSEFTWAREMICROSOFTWINDOWSCURRENTVERSIONRUNMSMSMSGS".
32. Display "Sleep" in the shutdown dialog
Windows XP's default settings are options that do not allow the system to go to sleep in the shutdown dialog, and the operation of displaying this option is very simple. When the shutdown dialog appears, the user can press the "SHIFT" button at the same time, so "sleep" The option appeared. Registry Description "English-Chinese Double Society" (5th edition) The definition of the registry is: Microsoft Windows 9X, Windows CE, Windows NT, and Windows 2000, the central layered database used in Windows 2000, used to store as one or more Information necessary for users, applications, and hardware device configuration systems.
The registry contains information that Windows constantly references during operation, such as each user's configuration file, the application installed on the computer, and the document type, folder, and application icon of each application, system. What hardware is present and which ports are being used.
The registry replaces the vast majority of text-based .ini files used in Windows 3.x and MS-DOS configuration files (for example, autoexec.bat and config.sys). Although several Windows operating systems have registry, the registry of these operating systems has some differences. The registry data is stored in a binary.
About editing the registry To edit the registry, Microsoft recommends that you only follow the steps in the Microsoft document. If possible, use the Windows user interface instead of editing the registry. You can edit the registry using the Registry Editor (Regedit.exe or RegedT32.exe). Registry editor can cause serious problems, these issues may need to reinstall the operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee problems that can be resolved due to improper use of registry editors. Use Registry Editor at your own risk. Before modifying the registry, you must back up the registry and must know how to restore the registry when there is a problem. : To modify the registry data, the program must use the registry feature defined in the following MSDN Web site: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/sysInfo/base/ Registry_functions.asp administrators can modify the registry by using the Registry Editor (RegeDit.exe or RegedT32.exe), Group Policy, System Policy, Registry File (.reg), or by run scripts (for example, VisualBasic script files) .
Note: The registration table in 64-bit version of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 is divided into 32-bit registry entries and 64-bit registry entries. Many 32-bit registration items are the same name with its corresponding 64-bit registry items, and vice versa. The default 64-bit version of the 64-bit version of Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 displays a 32-bit registry key under the following node: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SOFTWARE / WOW6432 Registry Editor's navigation area display folder. Each folder represents a predefined item on the local computer. When accessing the registry of the remote computer, only two predefined items are displayed: HKEY_USERS and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. The following table lists the predefined items used. The maximum length of the item name is 255 characters. Folder / predefined item Description HKEY_CURRENT_USER contains the root directory of the configuration information of the currently logged in user. The user's folder, screen color, and control panel settings are stored here. This information is associated with the user's profile. This is sometimes abbreviated as "HKCU". HKEY_USERS contains the root directory of all user profiles on your computer. HKEY_CURRENT_USER is the child of HKEY_USERS. HKEY_USERS sometimes abbreviated as "HKU". HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE contains computer-specific configuration information (for any user). This is sometimes abbreviated as "HKLM". HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT is the child of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SOFTWARE. The information stored here ensures that the correct program can be opened when using the Windows Explorer to open the file. This sometimes abbreviated as "HKCR". Starting with Windows 2000, this information is stored under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and HKEY_CURRENT_USER. The HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SOFTWARE / CLASSES item contains the default settings for all users that can be applied to the local computer. The HKEY_CURRENT_USER / SOFTWARE / CLASES item contains settings overwritten default settings and applies only to interactive users. The HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT item provides a registry view that merges the above two sources. HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT also provides such a merge view for programs designed for previous Windows version. To change the settings of the interactive user, you must make changes under HKEY_CURRENT_USER / SOFTWARE / CLASSES instead of change under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT. To change the default settings, you must make changes under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SOFTWARE / CLASSES. If you write an item to an item under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, the system is stored under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SOFTWARE / CLASSES. If you write a value under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, and HKEY_CURRENT_USER / SOFTWARE / CLASSES already exists, the system stores the information under the previous registry key instead of being stored under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SOFTWARE / CLASSES. HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG contains information about the hardware configuration file used in the system startup. The following table lists the current definitions and data types of Windows.
The maximum size of the value name is as follows:? Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP: 16,383 characters? Windows 2000: 260 ANSI characters or 16,383 Unicode characters? Windows Millennium Edition / Windows 98 / Windows 95: 255 characters long value (more than 2,048 Bytes should be stored as files, store file names in the registry. This helps the registry effectively. The maximum size of the value is as follows:? Windows NT 4.0 / Windows 2000 / Windows XP / Windows Server 2003: Available Memory? Windows Millennium Edition / Windows 98 / Windows 95: 16,300 bytes Note: The total size of all values of the item must not exceed 64K limit. Name Data Type Description Binary value REG_BINARY Original binary data. Most hardware component information is stored as binary data, and it is displayed in the Registry Editor with hexadecimal format. DWORD Value REG_DWORD is represented by the number of 4-byte long (32-bit integers). Many parameters of the device drivers and services are this type, displayed in the Registry Editor in binary, hexadecimal or decimal format. The value is related to DWORD_LITTLE_ENDIAN (the least important byte at the lowest address) and REG_DWORD_BIG_ENDIAN (the least important byte is at the highest bit address). Scalable string value REG_EXPAND_SZ length variable data string. This data type includes a program or a variable that is resolved when using the data. Multi-string value REG_MULTI_SZ multi-string. The value of the list or multiple values that can be read, or the value of multiple values is usually this type. Between spaces, commas or other markers between each entry. String value REG_SZ length fixed text string. Binary value REG_RESOURCE_LIST A series of nested arrays, used to store the hardware device driver or a list of resources used by a physical device it controls. This data is detected and written to / resourcemap tree as a binary value in a hexadecimal format. Binary value REG_RESOURCE_REQUIREMENTS_LIST A series of nested arrays, used to store device drivers, or a list of possible hardware resources that it controls can use, and write the subset of this list to / ResourceMap tree. This data is detected by the system, which is displayed in a registry editor in a hexadecimal format as a binary value. Binary value reg_full_resource_descriptor A series of nested arrays for storing the list of resources used by physical hardware devices. This data is detected and written to the / hardwareDescription tree, which is displayed in the Registry Editor in a hexadecimal format as a binary value. There is no specific type of data without REG_NONE. This data is written by the system or application to the registry as a binary value in a hexadecimal format. Link REG_LINK A Unicode string, which is named a symbolic link. The Qword value REG_QWORD is indicated by the 64-bit integer number. This data is displayed in the Registry Editor as a binary value, initially in Windows 2000. The Registry Configuration Unit is a set of items, children, and values in the registry, which has a set of support files that contain backups of their data.
