There are many third-party optimization auxiliary software that can help users accelerate the startup of Windows XP systems. Although there are currently software for optimizing and speeding up the Windows 7 system (such as Master Lu, Vista Optimization Master, etc.), such software has always been "over-optimized, resulting in the loss of some system functions", and is regarded as "over-optimized" by users of Windows Vista and Windwos 7. "Far from mature" auxiliary software.
When third-party optimization software is "not mature enough", some users turn to tapping the potential of the Windows 7 system and use registry modifications to speed up system startup.
Run the registry editor, expand to the branch HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSession ManagerMemory ManagementPrefetchParameters, then find and double-click "EnablePrefetcher" in the right window, change the system default value "3" to "0" in the pop-up dialog box (as shown below), and save Just exit after setting.
The above method is relatively "traditional". In Windows XP system, by modifying the registry, you can also achieve the purpose of speeding up the system startup.
If you are currently using Windows 7 system and the CPU is dual-core, then you can have a faster startup speed than other operating systems. The ZOL netizen who recommended this method to the author believes that this is the unique feature of Windows 7 that can truly "make XP users envious"!
In Windows 7 system, click the Start menu, enter "msconfig" in "Search Programs and Files", and press Enter to open the "System Configuration" dialog box. Please switch to the "Boot" tab in this dialog box, and then click The "Advanced Options" button circled in red in Figure 1.
In the upper right part of the pop-up "Boot Advanced Options" dialog box, the number of processors in Windows 7 system is 1 by default. If you are a dual-core user, please select "2" (Figure 2).
After modification, click the "OK" button to save the settings and exit.
Editor's comments:
In the first method, speeding up the startup speed of Windows XP and Windows systems is achieved by modifying the registry. But in actual application, this method is only "theoretical acceleration" and does not really achieve acceleration - or in other words, the acceleration effect is very insignificant. But in the second method, since Windows 7 is specifically designed to enable the acceleration function of existing hardware devices, it is incomparable to the first method in practical applications.
