This article introduces the relevant knowledge of "how to set pre-read files in xp system to improve system performance and speed up system startup speed". In the operation of actual cases, many people will encounter such a dilemma, so let the editor lead you to learn how to deal with these situations. I hope you can read it carefully and be able to achieve something!

Although there is a pre-read file function in the XP system, in order to take advantage of this function to improve system performance, speed up system startup and file reading speed. However, with the increase of usage time, every time a user uses a program, the system will leave an index file with the extension PF in the folder. At this time, it will be very slow for us to start the system, so if we skillfully set up the pre-read files, won't we be able to improve the startup speed of the system?

1. Shut down related services

Enter "msconfig" in the "run" window and enter to open the system configuration utility window, switch it to the "Service" tab, then uncheck the check before the "TaskScheduler" item and save the settings, which can serve the purpose of prohibiting the establishment of index files.

Second, only read system files

Because the index information of the system and the application is saved in Prefetch, from the point of view of improving the startup speed, we can only set to read the system file and skip the index file reading process of the application. In this regard, you can run "regedit" to open the registry editor, select HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlSessionManagerMemoryManagementPrefetchParameters, double-click the right side of the "EnablePrefetcher", you can see that its value is 3, that is, read system files and applications, we can change it to 2, that is, only pre-read Windows system files.

Turn off the computer and empty the pre-read files automatically.

We can also speed up the next boot by automatically emptying the contents of the pre-read folder when we turn it off. Open notepad, type del%systemroot%Prefetch*.*/q in it, and save the file as a del.bat file. Next, open the "run" window, enter gpedit.msc and enter to open the Group Policy Editor, select "computer configuration-Windows Settings-script", double-click the "shutdown" item on the right, and click the "add" button in the open window to add the del.bat file. In this way, when shutting down, the group policy will call del.bat in the background and run the commands to clear the contents of the read-ahead folder, thus improving the speed of the next startup.
