Windows XP Fix

Before you continue:
I’ve just finished setting up a new PC for a friend and I think some of you will be interested in some of

Use visual styles on windows and buttons
3. Speedup Folder Browsing
You may have noticed that everytime you open my computer to browse folders that there is a slight delay. This is because Windows XP automatically
searches for network files and printers everytime you open Windows Explorer. To fix this and to increase browsing significantly:
Open My Computer
Click on Tools menu
Click on Folder Options
Click on the View tab.
Uncheck the Automatically search for network folders and printers check box

good post, speed is important

The last option in suggestion 2 doesn't apply to the W indows Classic style - if you try to enable it Windows will change to the default XP style.

Fantastic list...I've still got more to add. check out this cool site that has got 15 ways to for a speedy PC. http://www.speedypc.org/
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/...
About Bootvis.exe
Bootvis.exe is a performance tracing and visualization tool that Microsoft designed to help PC system designers and software developers identify
performance issues for boot/resume timing while developing new PC products or supporting software.
Please note that Bootvis.exe is not a tool that will improve boot/resume performance for end users. Contrary to some published reports, Bootvis.exe
cannot reduce or alter a system's boot or resume performance. The boot optimization routines invoked by Bootvis.exe are built into W indows XP. These
routines run automatically at pre-determined times as part of the normal operation of the operating system.
1. It may be more prudent to simply disable or set to manual the Indexing service from the Service Control Manager, rather than to un-install the service,
which would imply that you would never need it in future.
2. The author has not provided links to any of the utilities mentioned, such as CacheMan, TCP/IP Optimizer etc. Their utility in these cases also is disputed
at best. My suggestion is that readers should critically analyze these products, before trusting them to make your W in XP faster.
3. Rather than suggesting that users remove their desktop background altogether, which would seriously impact their user XP-erience, I would suggest
that they install a wallpaper that is lower in file size and resolution. For instance, .bmp files are generally quite large in size, and may take more resources
to display.
4. Be very careful about the fonts you remove from the Fonts folder, since some fonts may not be needed by you, but may be used by the system, or
associated programs.
5. I agree with the first post, which questions the application of BootVis to speed up Windows XP.
I agree about the fonts-- I removed most of them and suddenly in the windows title bars I get wingdings instead of text. But as for bootvis:
http://www.tweakhound.com/xp/b.../
"I'm not sure what kind of game they are playing but the "Bootvis.exe is not a tool that will improve boot/resume performance for end users." is a blatant
untruth. From what I understand, Windows XP runs the routines that Bootvis does every 3 days (isn't it strange that all 4 machines showed improvements
even though XP is supposed to be doing this by itself?). That may be all well and good but suppose I want to put my machine in a optimized state NOW
(especially if I want a clean and optimized Ghost image)? For MS to say it will not improve boot times is ....ridiculous. They may not have created this tool
for end users, but it does work."
.....heh
well i will try this if i ever use windows xp, until than, i guess this list is useless, unless any of it applies to SuSe and KDE
Sure would be nice to quantify the improvements... some may not be worth much...

4. Disable Performance Counters
Windows XP has a performance monitor utility which monitors several areas of your PC’s performance.
These utilities take up system resources so disabling is a good idea.
To disable:
download and install the Extensible Performance Counter List

Then select each counter in turn in the ‘Extensible performance counters’ window and clear the
‘performance counters enabled’ checkbox at the bottom.button below
5. Improve Memory Usage
Cacheman Improves the performance of your computer by optimizing the disk cache, memory and a
number of other settings.
Once Installed:
Go to Show W izard and select All

Run all the wizards by selecting Next or Finished until you are back to the main menu. Use the defaults unless you know exactly what you are doing
Exit and Save Cacheman
Restart Windows
6. Optimise your internet connection
There are lots of ways to do this but by far the easiest is to run TCP/IP Optimizer.
Download and install

Click the General Settings tab and select your Connection Speed (Kbps)
Click Network Adapter and choose the interface you use to connect to the Internet
Check Optimal Settings then Apply
Reboot
7. Optimise Your Pagefile
connectedinternet.co.uk/2005/12/03/…/2/ 1/6
If you give your pagefile a fixed size it saves the operating system from needing to resize the page file.
Right click on My Computer and select Properties

Select the Advanced tab
Under Performance choose the Settings button
Select the Advanced tab again and under Virtual Memory select Change
Highlight the drive containing your page file and make the initial Size of the file the same as the Maximum Size of the file.
Windows XP sizes the page file to about 1.5X the amount of actual physical memory by default. While this is good for systems with smaller amounts of
memory (under 512MB) it is unlikely that a typical XP desktop system will ever need 1.5 X 512MB or more of virtual memory. If you have less than 512MB of
memory, leave the page file at its default size. If you have 512MB or more, change the ratio to 1:1 page file size to physical memory size.
