[HELP] Optimize Windows XP

[italonobrega]

Hello all! Sorry my English!

How to optimize the boot of Windows XP by regedit?

It is recommended to use the application Bootvis? And how to use?

I await answers!

Thank you all!

The easiest way to optimize the boot of Windows is to use MSCONFIG. Go to the Startup tab and uncheck everything you don't want to start. I have not used Bootvis so I can't help you with that. Basically, anything you can disable to start won't affect the core Windows in most programs, also CCleaner can do this. There are some things that always come back like QuickTime if you have it installed... My computer boots to only 20 processes. For average users, sticking below 30 processes would be your goal. You can check them in Task Manager, but remember to subtract the Taskmgr.exe process from the total.

Hello Tripredacus!

I have some knowledge of MSCONFIG and I've used. I use the Advanced SystemCare instead of CCleaner.

But there is a way to set some registry values that helps to optimize the system.

Below is a list of commands that have tried and it worked, if you want to test also.

Edit the parameters below into Notepad and save it .Reg

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\PriorityControl]

"Win32PrioritySeparation"=dword:2

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\FileSystem]

"ContigFileAllocSize"=dword:200

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters]

"EnablePrefetcher"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters]

"EnablePrefetcher"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters]

"EnablePrefetcher"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]

"AlwaysUnloadDLL"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced]

"WaitToKillServiceTimeout"="1000"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]

Delete all the contents of the folder C:\Windows\Prefetch
