Speed Up Of Your XP Windows

March 27, 2014 Posted by Knowledge Bite No comments
Here is a WAY to get XP go faster :


There are quite a few services you can disable from starting automatically.

This would be to speed up your boot time and free resources.

They are only suggestions so I suggestion you read the description
of each one when you run Services

and that you turn them off one at a time.
DO AT YOUR OWN RISK

Some possibilities are:

Alerter

Application Management

Clipbook

Fast User Switching

Human Interface Devices

Indexing Service

Messenger

Net Logon

NetMeeting

QOS RSVP

Remote Desktop Help Session Manager

Remote Registry

Routing & Remote Access

SSDP Discovery Service

Universal Plug and Play Device Host

Web Client



Cleaning the Prefetch Directory :

Windows XP has a new feature called Prefetch. This keeps a shortcut to recently used programs.

However it can fill up with old and obsolete programs.

To clean this periodically go to:

Star / Run / Prefetch

Press Ctrl-A to highlight all the shorcuts

Delete them

Not Displaying Logon, Logoff, Startup and Shutdown Status Messages To turn these off:

Start Regedit

Go to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\policies\system

If it is not already there, create a DWORD value named

DisableStatusMessages

Give it a value of 1

Not Displaying Logon, Logoff, Startup and Shutdown Status Messages

To turn these off:

Start Regedit

Go to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\policies\system

If it is not already there, create a DWORD value named

DisableStatusMessages

Give it a value of 1

Clearing the Page File on Shutdown :

  • Click on the Start button
  • Go to the Control Panel
  • Administrative Tools
  • Local Security Policy
  • Local Policies
  • Click on Security Options
  • Right hand menu - right click on "Shutdown: Clear Virtual Memory
  • Pagefile"
  • Select "Enable"
  • Reboot

For regedit users.....

If you want to clear the page file on each shutdown:

Start Regedit

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Session

Manager\Memory Management\ClearPageFileAtShutdown

Set the value to 1

No GUI Boot :


If you don't need to see the XP boot logo,

Run MSCONFIG

Click on the BOOT.INI tab

Check the box for /NOGUIBOOT

Speeding the Startup of Some CD Burner Programs :


If you use program other than the native WindowsXP CD Burner

software,

you might be able to increase the speed that it loads.

  • Go to Control Panel / Administrative Tools / Services
  • Double-click on IMAPI CD-Burning COM Service
  • For the Startup Type, select Disabled
  • Click on the OK button and then close the Services window
    If you dont You should notice


Getting Rid of Unread Email Messages :


To remove the Unread Email message by user's login names:

Start Regedit

For a single user: Go to

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\UnreadMail

For all users: Go to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\UnreadMail

Create a DWORD key called MessageExpiryDays

Give it a value of 0

Decreasing Boot Time :


Microsoft has made available a program to analyze and decrease the

time it takes to boot to WindowsXP

The program is called BootVis

Uncompress the file.

Run BOOTVIS.EXE

For a starting point, run Trace / Next Boot + Driver Delays

This will reboot your computer and provide a benchmark After the reboot, BootVis will take a minute or two to show graphs
of your system startup.

Note how much time it takes for your system to load (click on the

red vertical line)
Then run Trace / Optimize System

Re-Run the Next Boot + Drive Delays
Note
how much the time has decreased

Mine went from approximately 33 to 25 seconds.
Increasing Graphics Performance :


By default, WindowsXP turns on a lot of shadows, fades, slides etc to menu items.

Most simply slow down their display.

To turn these off selectively:

  • Right click on the My Computer icon
  • Select Properties
  • Click on the Advanced tab
  • Under Performance, click on the Settings button
  • To turn them all of, select Adjust for best performance
  • My preference is to leave them all off except for Show shadows under mouse pointer and Show window contents while dragging


Increasing System Performance :


If you have 512 megs or more of memory, you can increase system

performance
by having the core system kept in memory.

Start Regedit

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Session

Manager\Memory Management\DisablePagingExecutive

Set the value to be 1

Reboot the computer

Increasing File System Caching :

To increase the amount of memory Windows will locked for I/O operations:

Start Regedit

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Session Manager\Memory Management

Edit the key IoPageLockLimit
