The answer is yes.

32. Bandwidth Optimization
Windows XP Professional Edition adds QoSRRP (This is the Quality of Service Resource Reservation Protocol acronym, the sense that the quality of service RSVP).

In general, attempts to access information through the available bandwidth when applications either through QoS application program interface, either through another known as TCI's application program interface. In the network communications, in order to respect the safety of commercial retain a certain amount of bandwidth to the managers, as this application QoS will be a good thing, but generally we do not need this feature users, virtually alone in part (default is 20%) have wasted a lot of bandwidth, so I would like to This function provides the means cancellation.

Select "start" menu, click on the "write-off", to the main login screen, log on the main screen by pressing Ctrl + Alt + Del twice a login window, in the name of the user input Administrator (Note: to distinguish between large and small), password since password Enter column ( if no password set to be blank) by determining access Windows, click "Start / run" gpedit.msc input into the "Group Policy" window on the left window selection "computer configuration / management template / network / QoS packet scheduling procedures" on the right double-click in the window, "the bandwidth restrictions may retain" choice "has put" and "bandwidth limit (%)," set to 0, click "application", and then "OK" and can be re-activated.

Note: Windows XP Home Edition users do not have to change these settings.


33. Delete unnecessary fonts
Windows XP installed fonts more, it will take up more memory system resources, slowing down the system operating speed, therefore, not commonly used fonts, we had better to delete it from the system.

Font documents stored in C: \ Windows \ font directory, you can select fonts as needed, not more fonts, a cut is over.


34. Changes IE temporary folder
When the large number of Internet temporary files are stored in IE temporary folder, by default, the temporary folder in the System Division, a large number of temporary files will affect the hard disk read-write file system performance. You can change the location of temporary files to avoid such a situation.

Is click "Start / Control Panel / Internet Options" and "conventional" tab click the "set" button in the window opened by clicking the "mobile folder" button, a non-designated area on the system folder, click "OK", the provisional text the pieces will be moved to designated folders on.


35. Speed up "online neighbor" sharing rate
Do not know you use Windows XP users open "online neighbor" inside the sharing of resources, have not found the time spent considerable length, it is because it will examine other computer settings, sometimes even in the side stop nearly one minute, a hate, we can adoption of the following the method will cancel its inspection steps:
"Start / run", the importation of regedit, in the pop-up in the Registry Editor find [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / Software / Microsoft / Windows / CurrentVersion / Explorer / RemoteComputer / NameSpace], according to the mouse in the right position (D6277990 - 4C6A - 11CF - 8D87 - 00AA0060F5BF) deletion of the can.


36. Pre-read document removals
When Windows XP used for a period of time after the installation of pre-read directory folder (C: \ Windows \ prefetch), the document will become a large, dead inside a document link, which will slow down the system time, I suggest you regularly delete these documents. 37. Pre-set up to improve reading speed Windows XP installed the use of pre-reading of this new technology to improve system speed.

If your computer configuration Yes, with PIII 800, 512M of memory above, you can conduct the following modifications: Click the "Start / run", type "regedit" open registry, find [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ Session Manager \ Memory Management \ PrefetchParameters \ EnablePrefetcher], set numerical 0,1,2,3 (0 - Disable,
1 - Pre-reading applications,
2 - start pre-reading,
3 - the former two pre-reading),
recommends "3", which would reduce the start-up time.


38. Cancel unnecessary network services components

39. Opening DMA transfer mode
The so-called DMA, direct memory storage model that the computer peripheral equipment (mainly referring to hard drive) can exchange data directly with the memory, hard drive, to accelerate the literacy rate, according to enhance speed transmission rate.

For some reason, Windows XP sometimes will use PIO IDE channel parallel input-output transfer mode, instead of DMA mode. If there are such cases, users can manually change the IDE channel DMA mode, thus reducing the use of the device CPU cycles.

Method: Right click on the "My Computer" and choose "Properties", click the "hardware" tab, click the "Device Manager" button and open the "Device Manager" and click launched the "IDE ATA / ATAPI controller" branch, "IDE controller "has two" main IDE channel "and" secondary IDE specialists "were selected, followed by entering" Properties / Advanced ", the dialog box will list the current IDE interface connected equipment transfer mode, check the" Transfer Mode "drop-down menu, all of them located "DMA (if available)," click "determine."


40. Speed up menu shows speed
Select "Start / run", the importation of regedit, pop Registry Editor, looking for [HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ ControlPanel \ Desktop], in the right side of the window choose MenuShowDelay, on the right mouse button, select "modify" its numerical information to the 100 or more small ( the default value is: 400), the proposal not to use 0, since as long as the mouse mistakely touch to "programs", the entire menu will come out, that make you crazy
