alot

Enable or disable boot defrag
Filed under: operating systems
windows xp Pro windows xp Home
A great new feature in m*cro$oft Windows
XP is the ability to do a boot defragment. This places all boot files next to
each other on the disk to allow for faster booting. By default this option in
enables but on some builds it is not so below is how to turn it on.
Start
Regedit.
Navigate
to
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/microsoft/Dfrg/BootOptimizeFunction
Select
Enable from the list on the right.
Right on it and select Modify.
Change
the value to Y to enable and N to disable.
Reboot your
computer.
Launch apps with desired priority setting
Filed
under: operating systems windows xp Pro windows xp Home
This tweak will
launch most executables with the priority setting you want it to
have.
Let’s say you have a game installed called HIGH NEEDS and the
executable is called HN.exe
Here’s what to do:
-Create a new
textfile in the game-app wathever-directory (let’s say C:HN), but instead of
giving it the .txt extension you name it HN.bat
-Right-click this file and
choose ‘Edit’, you’ll see it’ll open notepad. Put this line in:
cmd
/c start /High NH.exe
-Save (make sure you save it as .bat, not as .txt) and
close.
Now create a shortcut to this file and place it on your desktop.
Every time you doubleclick this shortcut HIGH NEEDS will open with priority set
to ‘high’. (ofcourse you can also create a batchfile on your desktop,
containing the full path of the app you want to start but the nice thing of
creating a shortcut is you can give it an icon).
These are all the
settings: Realtime, High, AboveNormal, Normal, BelowNormal,
Low.
*Realtime is not recommended unless you have a dual-CPU system!
