When we start boot Windows XP, Windows XP call many files. The one that most is font files. The more you install font in your computer, the more time you needs for booting process.
To speed up booting process, move out the font file to another folder. Here’s how :
1. Open Control Panel
2. Click Font icon (Classic Style View)
3. Choose the font that rarely used by holding Ctrl button and clicking them
4. Create another folder and move the files out to that folder
5. Restart your computer
OK, enough for Windows XP tweaking, repair, maintenance, or whatever that make your computer run faster and optimized. I’ll serve you with another post next time.
In standard setting, everytime Windows XP read a file, it will create a timestamp on the file. This feature is useful for backup needs, but actually the backup just need the last access date. This feature makes Windows XP works harder because everytime Windows read a file, it must write the timestamp too.
For a normal usage, this feature isn’t important. For a faster Windows XP, I recommend you to turn off this feature by the following steps :
1. Click Start
2. Choose Programs
3. Choose Accesories
4. Choose Command Prompt
5. Type down a command : FSUTIL behavior set disablelastaccess 1
6. Press Enter
7. Restart your computer
