Tips and Tricks

1.Turn XP Slow Walk to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Control Panel \ Desktop \ Once th

ere, find the value that should be in HungAppTimeout 5000 (default). If not, pla
ce. Even so, look for the value WaitToKillAppTimeout. Change the value to 1000 (
default is 20000). 2.After give one month in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ System \ Curre
ntControlSet \ Control \ and change the value of WaitToKillServiceTimeout 1000.
3.Se you use the Nvidia driver go to Administrative Tools in Control Panel. Clic
k Services and look for the NVidia Driver Help service. In its properties, mark
it as manual and not disabled. 4.The WXP does not deal well with the L2 cache. I
f you know exactly how much L2 cache is your process, take a look at HKEY_LOCAL_
MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ Session Manager \ Memory Manage
ment \ SecondLevelDataCache Look for value. Double-click. In the window that ope
ns check the ball "Decimal" and "Value Data" enter how many kilobytes of L2 cach
e your processor has. 5.You and I know that nennhum Windows, which is more stabl
e, it releases all memory that was occupied by an application when it is closed.
Always gets overlooked a DLL into memory, making it virtually impossible not to
have to restart your computer to be micro lighter after a session of hardcore O
ffice, for example. To force the download WindowsXP memory all the DLLs that are
not in use, take a look at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows
\ CurrentVersion \ Explorer There, you'll have to create a new key called Always
UnloadDLL. How to create a new key, you'll ask me. Simple, I reply. Click your r
ight mouse button on the Explorer key, point to New, then Key. A new key will be
created within the item Explorer (it will seem a new folder). Rename it to Alwa
ysUnloadDLL and change the Default value to 1 instead of 0. 6.Se you have Office
installed, go to Start> All Programs> Startup, delete Office from there, it als
o improves the boot.

rformance.

ument Disable the box "Make this page available offline.
Cleanup Wizard on the desktop
It is another option available which also consumes resources, to disable it, Fin
d it: Control Panel> Video> Desktop> Customize Desktop> General> Disable "Run De

Improving the performance of HD
See if your disk is enabled for better performance. Start> Control Panel> System

Speeding up the search for other computers on the network
Path: Start> Run, type "regedit" (without quotes), press OK. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MA
CHINE / Software / Microsoft / Windows / Current Version / Explorer / RemoteComp
uter / NameSpace and look for key (D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF). Delete
it and go. The viewing / browsing other stations on the network will be faster.
Browse faster
Both Windows XP and Windows 2000 has a feature (QoS Packet Scheduler) that "rese
rvation" 20% of the available bandwidth of network and Internet for their own us
e, which for most users is not necessary. To recover the 20% band, follow these
steps: Path: Start> Run, type gpedit.msc and press ok. Computer Configuration> A
dministrative Templates> Network Select in the left window, "QoS Packet Schedule
r." In the right window, double-click on the "Limit Reservable bandwidth."€On th

zero). Click Apply, OK and exit. Go into the network settings (Control Panel> Ne

n the General tab, enable the QoS Packet Scheduler (if already enabled, leave as
is). Restart the computer. Note: If more than one networked computer, you must
follow the above steps for all.
Internet Explorer opening soon
In Windows XP as well as Windows 2000 has a function that causes Internet Explor
er to do a search for scheduled tasks whenever it is open, it causes a certain d
elay when Internet Explorer opens but has a
way to eliminate the demand for scheduled tasks by editing the system registry,
follow these steps: Path: Start> Run> regedit Find the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \
Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ Current Version \ Explorer \ RemoteComputer \
NameSpace In the right column search key: ClassId key (D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D8700
AA0060F5BF) Delete this key without fear. Close the registry editor and open Int
ernet Explorer, you will notice that your Internet Explorer will open much faste
r.

pen Nero, it shows the message "Scaning SCSI / IDE Bus-Please Wait" and usually

Virtual memory
Many people complain that Windows has bugs, or exaggerate something,€what users
need to realize is that each installation of an Operating System is unique, each
uses a different function for some, has some Desktop with the same guy? No, the
face of desktops are very different, this will depend on who is using, Microsof
t makes a pattern, each i set it depending on your needs. If your PC is modern a
nd has lots of RAM, you can shrink the Windows virtual memory, which is used whe
re it exhausts the capacity of your RAM is a very good trick found by Microsoft,
but as it comes an artifice, the performance of your PC is also compromised. De
pending on how much RAM you have installed on your motherboard, you can decrease
your pagefile, which is the swap file of Windows. PCs with 512MB or more does n
ot need to use virtual memory. If you have less than 512MB of RAM installed, a c
alculation you can do to adjust your virtual memory is to multiply your RAM by 1
.5 installed in my case as I have 128MB of RAM, I have multiplied by 1.5
a score of 192, set this value to the minimum and maximum, this will mean that y
ou do not have performance loss and fragmentation. So you can make changes that
follow these steps: Start> Control Panel> System> Advanced> Performance> Advance
d> Virtual Memory> Change. Put the value you got with the calculation, click set
and ok. If you notice crashes, select "let Windows manage virtual memory."

one of the most common formats for storing images. But when it comes to editing
photos taken with digital cameras, web publishing or the default is JPEG, which
is a format that offers quality loss, if you edit the image many times. The TIF
F format, no longer presents loss of quality - it preserves all the pixels, rega
rdless of how many times you edit the picture. Even choosing the compression of
TIFF, which uses the LZW algorithm, the image does not make losses. The Bitmap f
ormat has been very popular, but began to be pushed aside in favor of TIFF, whic
h has more qualities. The only reason to use the Bitmap was its application as a
background on your desktop, in presenting no loss of quality, but since they ar
e not compressed occupy much space in HD, making it impractical, if we can use t
he TIFF format with a smaller size and similar quality. How to configure Interne
