Hi Fellas...
Long time... Now for some solid tips (Hmm I guess I should call these as Tweaks?) to make your XP machine faster.. atleast 20% faster than before... tried and tested methods.. only for anim ppl....
As usual Dr.Hard says "
TRY ONE AT A TIME "
Tweak 1 : Disable XP Themes
[Right click the desktop and
select Properties.In the dropdown
listbox under Theme:, select Windows Classic and
Apply]
Tweak 2 : Disable XP Visual Effects
[Open the System
Control Panel box
On the Advanced tab,
select Settings in the Performance tab
On the Visual
Effects tab, select Adjust for best performance
and Apply
Turn on (select)
Smooth edges of screen fonts
Turn on any other
options you think you cannot live without and
Apply]
Tweak 3 : Disable Last Access Timestamp(Trust me this really makes difference!)
[Everytime you access a file, read it, write something the file gets accessed again later by the OS to record the last accessed date and time. If you dont want this
feature then do this in the command prompt
(Works only in XP with SP2 maybe with out SP also check it out)
FSUTIL behavior set
disablelastaccess 1
To enable back the last accessed time stamp marking do
FSUTIL behavior set
disablelastaccess 0
]
These were the simpler tweaks.. Next Post will be with superior tuning tips dealing with registry meant for expert users but hey .. wait I will make it simpler and easier.. check out my next post... post back your feedbacks if any!!!
