How to speed up XP boot speed

First of all, open "System Properties" (right-click - Properties on my computer, or open "System" in the control panel, shortcut win+pause break) click the "Advanced" tab, open "Settings" in the "Startup and Failback" area, remove the two in the "System Startup" area, if it is a multi-system user, keep the "Time to display the operating system list". Click "" to make sure that the additional property of the startup item is fastdetect instead of nodetect, and do not add the noguiboot attribute first, because guiboot will be used later.

The next step is very important, open the "Hardware" tab in the "System Properties", open the "Device Manager", "IDE ATA ATAPI Controller", double-click to open the "Secondary IDE Channel" properties, click the "Advanced Settings" tab, change the delivery mode of devices 1 and 2 to DMA if available, select "None" if the device type can be selected, click OK to complete the setting, and set the "Primary IDE Channel" in the same way.

Open the registry (Start-Run-Regedit), click "My Computer" to open "Find" in the "" menu, enter AutoEndTasks, and click "Find Next". Double-click to open the found result, and modify the "Numerical Data" to 1. Then under AutoEndTasks you can find hungapptimeout, waittokillapptimeout, set the "numerical data" to 2000 or less, here by the way, also modify the time of the menu delay, find the menushowdelay below autoendtasks, the value is in milliseconds, if you want to remove the menu delay, set it to 0.

Now that the acceleration of startup and shutdown has been completed, restart the computer to feel the feeling of fast startup, and the scroll bar is OK after only one or two turns.

After enjoying the fun of the fast reboot, we will further speed up the startup, open the "System Properties" - "Advanced" - "Startup and Failback" settings, open the "System Startup" area, and add noguiboot after fastdetect, so that the scroll bar will no longer be displayed at startup. If you really like the scroll bar display, you don't need to do this step.

If the system has been used for a long time, it is recommended to reinstall the system!

If the system is not very old, it is recommended to use an optimization tool (such as: z**, optimization master) to cancel the system's startup items as much as possible, cancel unnecessary system services and background services, and then clean up the system junk, and then do disk defragmentation again.

Of course, if you are infected with a virus, the first priority is to kill the virus!

Suggestion: The storage space of the system disk should not exceed 80% of the capacity
