"I have seen many tweaks for windows XP and I thought I would write down the main ones I use. Hope they are of help to people. I have added my own as well as added tweaks from other people. Some you may know, but some you might not, I use them all.
I am not liable etc for anything that goes wrong with your pc, just make sure you make registry back ups when necessary and/or system restore points if you are unsure of what your doing. I hope it is all easy to understand though. I have only suggested the tweaks which I use and I know work.
1- Clean your prefetch to improve performance
This is an unique technique for WinXP. We know that it is necessary to
wash registry and TEMP files for Win9X/ME/2000 periodly. Prefetch is a new
and very useful technique in Windows XP. However, after using XP some
time, the prefetch directory can get full of junk and obsolete links in
the Prefetch catalog, which can slow down your computer notablely. My
suggestion is: open C(system drive):/windows/prefetch, delete those junk
and obsolete files,reboot. It is recommended that you do this every month.
2 - Disable last access update. By default NTFS updates the date and time stamp of the last access on directories whenever it traverses the directory. For a large NTFS volume, this update process can slow performance. To disable automatic updating, change the value of the NtfsDisableLastAccessUpdate registry entry (in
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentContolSet\Control\Filesystem) to 1. If
the entry is not already present in the registry, add it before setting
the value. (Add it as a REG_DWORD)
3 - Speed up menu display
When using the start menu the you will notice a delay between different
tiers of the menu hierarchy. For the fastest computer experience possible
I recommend changing this value to zero. This will allow the different
tiers to appear instantly.
Start Regedit. If you are unfamiliar with regedit please refer to our FAQ
on how to get started.
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
Select MenuShowDelay from the list on the right.
Right on it and select Modify.
Change the value to 0.
Reboot your computer.
4 - Services that you can stop.
Automatic updates
Computer browser
Imapi cd burning, if using something else like Ahead Nero
Indexing service
Messenger
System restore service
Themes, if you just use the windows classic display
Webclient
Windows Tour
5 - Services you MUST NOT touch
COM+ Event system
Print Sppoler
Event log
Plug and Play
Remote Procedure call
RPC locator
Security account manager
Windows audio
6 - If you are having trouble with the sound from your Nforce sound system
Go to Start – Run, type DXDIAG
Go to the sound page and move the slider from full acceleration to standard acceleration. It does disable EAX but will not really change the sound output. Will also give a performance boost.
7 - Check your level 2 cache
XP assumes you always have 256 kb L2 cache. If your running a Barton etc, you have to change this. GO to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Current-ControlSet\Control\SessionManager\Memory Management. Find the DWORD entry: SecondLevelDataCache. If entering it as hexadecimal 256KB = 100 and 512KB = 200 in hexadecimal, and so on.
8 - Free space on disk.
If you don’t ever put your computer into hibernation. Go to control panel- Power options- Hibenate Tab – untick the hibernate box. Then Apply – ok.
9 - If you want to use Media player 8 instead of media player 9
Go to Start – Run and type mplayer2
10 - Performance Increase through My Computer
Easy enough tweak to usually find out about it on your own, but still,
some of use still don't find it right away. So here it is:
1: Start > Right Click on My Computer and select properties.
2: Click on the "Advanced" tab
3: See the "Performance" section? Click "Settings"
4: Disable the following:
Fade or slide menus into view
Fade or slide ToolTips into view
Fade out menu items after clicking
Show Shadows under menus
Slide open combo boxes
Slide taskbar buttons
Use a background image for each folder type
Use common tasks in folders
11 - GPEDIT.MSC And Autoplay
A great tweaking file that comes with XP is gpedit.msc. Go to Start ->
Run then type in ’gpedit.msc’ and press enter. This is effectively
the Policies Editor, and it comes in handy often. For example, if you hate
CD autoplay like I do and want to permanently disable it, you can use this
tool to do so. Just run gpedit.msc, then go to Computer Configuration ->
Administrative Templates -> System. In here you can see the value ’Turn
Off Autoplay’. Right-click on it and then click ’Properties’.
Now you can simply play around with the settings for this and other values
in these folders, customizing appearance and performance issues.
12 - Increasing Options In Add/Remove Menu
Not a fan of MSN Messenger? don’t want Windows Media Player on your
system? Fair enough, but if you go to Add/Remove Programs in the Control
Panel, by default none of Windows XP’s ’built in’ programs are visible.
it’s fairly easy to change, though... just open the file
X:\Windows\inf\sysoc.inf (where X: is the drive letter where Windows XP is
installed) in Notepad. You should see a section of the file something like
this:
[Components]
NtComponents=ntoc.dll,NtOcSetupProc,,4
WBEM=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,wbemoc.inf,hide,7
Display=desk.cpl,DisplayOcSetupProc,,7
Fax=fxsocm.dll,FaxOcmSetupProc,fxsocm.inf,,7
NetOC=netoc.dll,NetOcSetupProc,netoc.inf,,7
iis=iis.dll,OcEntry,iis.inf,,7
com=comsetup.dll,OcEntry,comnt5.inf,hide,7
dtc=msdtcstp.dll,OcEntry,dtcnt5.inf,hide,7
IndexSrv_System = setupqry.dll,IndexSrv,setupqry.inf,,7
TerminalServer=TsOc.dll, HydraOc, TsOc.inf,hide,2
msmq=msmqocm.dll,MsmqOcm,msmqocm.inf,,6
ims=imsinsnt.dll,OcEntry,ims.inf,,7
fp_extensions=fp40ext.dll,FrontPage4Extensions,fp40ext.inf,,7
AutoUpdate=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,au.inf,hide,7
msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,hide,7
RootAutoUpdate=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,rootau.inf,,7
IEAccess=ocgen.dll,OcEntry,ieaccess.inf,,7
This is a list of all components installed at the moment. I’ve taken the
example of MSN Messenger - the program entry called ’msmsgs’, third-last
line. You can see the word ’hide’ highlighted - this is the string which
tells Windows not to display the component in the Add/Remove Programs
list. Fix this up by simply deleting the word ’hide’ like so:
msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,hide,7
To this:
msmsgs=msgrocm.dll,OcEntry,msmsgs.inf,,7
Now, after restarting, you should be able to see MSN Messenger in the
Add/Remove Programs list. If you want to be able to quickly view and
remove all components, simply open the sysoc.inf file and do a global find
and replace for the word ",hide" and replace it with a single comma ",".
13 - Reduce 10 Second Scandisk Wait Time
Start MS Dos Prompt (Start run CMD), and type: CHKNTFS /T:4
where 4 is the amount of wait time.
CHKNTFS /?
for more info.
14 - Increase BROADBAND speed
This is for broad band connections. Make sure your logged on as actually "Administrator". do not log on with any account that just has administrator privileges.
start - run - type gpedit.msc
expand the "local computer policy" branch
expand the "administrative templates" branch
expand the "network branch"
Highlight the "QoS Packet Scheduler" in left window
in right window double click the "limit reservable bandwidth" setting
on setting tab check the "enabled" item
where it says "Bandwidth limit %" change it to read 0
Effect is immediate on some systems, some need to re-boot."
