How do you guys optimize your windows xp ?
Hello!
Well. It´s an off-topic so I think this is the right place (if not, just move it please). That is it: how do you optimize your windows xp in order to achieve better performance in encoding/dvd building ? I mean: - windows xp services (the really useful ones!) - pagefile size ( static size also ?) - registry tweaks ?! - special tools Screenshots shoud be great. Speacially on windows xp services! |

Put on an other physical disc than the system (this way windows can swap useless dll from memory to disc while it it loading the new dll it needs into memory). Quote:

2 more advises:
1 - Reduce the bandwidth reserved by windows. 2 - Do the trick for allow more than 10 tcp-ip connections. Search the net for number 1. http://www.lvllord.de/ for number 2. |

It is the only source and there is no virus in the rar.
(btw, it contains only the exe of the tool !) |

About the windows xp services: my actual config (I always do a mistake somewhere!): http://www.digitalfaq.com/archives/i.../2005/10/8.png http://www.theeldergeek.com/services_guide.htm Anyway I would like to know the true about "system restore service". I have alrealdy experienced disabling services in past. But something tells me "system restore" is important. Maybe i am wrong but when you disable it, you will find problems with the time! Anyone to confirm this ? |

oocache is a bullcrap. oodefrag is nothing but a good disc defrag tool. I do not put them in the "optimizing" tool but they can be. You always need a defrag, use this one or other one (I use diskkeeper) Quote:
I prefer to ghost my system each month and restore it with that in case of problem. |

It's a tool that saves a partition in a compressed file that you put on an other disc (or even a DVD). You can restore afterwards all the partition or only some files. Currently my system partition contains 4.3GB of data and this is compressed into a 2GB file by norton ghost. |

I would want to know how do you do the image. I did it when just installed the system and got almos 6 Gb (i included all my installed programs). I suppose if i do in now, at least will be 15 Gb. What should i to ghost and what not? |

I think you have XP Home. A default install of HP Home takes the double than XP Pro (the one that I have). As I said with all my programms my c:\ partition occupies 4.37 GB. I don't know what you have on your disc but for sure you can remove a lot of useless things ! Note: I used tweakUI (included in M$ Powertoys) to put the folder "My documents" on my second disc. This way I do not ghots the files like pictures / video that I download on the web. Quote:
Note:new ghost version 9.0 can do incremental ghost but I never used that. Incremental means that the first time you ghost everything, and after you ghost only the files that have been modified since the previous ghost. |
@Dialhot: Thanks.
