OPTIMIZARI WINDOWS.

\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
Renuntarea la consumul inutil de resurse:
////////////////////////////////////////////////
I. Eliberarea a 20% din network bandwidth ...
..................................................................
- daca v-as spune ca WindowsXP-ul by default isi aloca nu mai putin de 20% din l
egatura din LAN si(sau) Internet ptr update-urile proprii, ce ati zice? Naspa fa
za nu? Ca sa scapati de acest mic inconvenient, urmati pasii acestia
Da-ti un Start->Run->gpedit.msc ... se va deschide o noua fereastra tip Windows
Explorer si o sa vedeti in stanga sub Computer Configuration o chestie numita Ad
ministrative Templates ... aici selectati Network -> QoS Packet Scheduler ... du
pa ce selectati QoS-ul, in dreapta o sa vedeti o chestie numita Limit Reservable
Bandwidth ... dati un dublu-click pe ea ca sa deschideti proprietaile, treceti-
o de la Not Configured la Enabled, si inlocuiti valoarea default care apare un p
ic mai jos si care e 20 cu 0. Restart si asta-i tot ... nu garantez cresteri ext
raordinare de performanta, dar per total tot ce tine de networking o sa se miste
mai bine ... la viteza din LAN o sa se simta cel mai mult.
II. Sa facem loc pe hdd
.......................................
- toate programele care le folosim mananca spatiu pe hdd ... unele chiar destul
de mult ... insa si Windows-ul binevoieste sa pape niste GB fara sa ne ajute in
vreun fel ... ce e de facut?
a. Mai intai, duceti-va in Start->Settings->Control Panel->Power Options, iar in
fereastra de Power Options, selectati tab-ul Hibernate si debifati casuta care
e acolo ... tocmai v-ati eliberat spatiu pe hdd egal cu memoria voastra disponib
ila ... ori daca aveti 512 sau mai mult, asta e ceva.
b. Da-ti un click dreapta pe My Computer, apoi pe properties ... in noua fereast
ra care s-a deschis, selectati tab-ul System Restore si binevoiti sa dezactivati
acest minunat serviciu, care mananca estimativ vreo 20-30% din HDD ... nu de al
ta, dar ce-i frumos la XP e ca atunci cand e sa crape, crapa de tot :fadein: ..
nu va mai ajuta nici System Restore-ul, nici nimic ... poate doar un Norton Ghos
t ... insa important e ca e bine sa dezactivati acest serviciu.
c. Tot aici aveti un tab numit Windows Updates pe care e bine sa-l dezactivati .
.. valabil ptr cei care au XP-ul luat pe cai ,,oculte"
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;;;;
Si inca o groaza de servicii ce pot fi dezactivate in functie de necesitati,( in
cazul meu toate pot sa le reseteez conform acesteia)

under normal circumstances.
................................................................................
.........................

t.com to update, and I would rather do that!
................................................................................
........................
-Background Intelligent Transfer Service (MANUAL) -Used to transfer asynchronous
data via http1.1 servers. Who need's it? (UPDATE)More people than you know! I g
ot an email from Crystal, the person I told you about a few mins ago, and she sa
y's disabling the Background Intelligent Transfer Service is not necessarily wis
e as more programs than you realize actually use this service. As well, RPC Loca
tor That is important.
................................................................................
.......................
-ClipBook (DISABLE) -Used to store information (cut/paste) and share it with oth
er computers.
................................................................................
.......................
-COM+ Event System (DISABLE) -I am unaware of any application that uses COM+ but

................................................................................
........................
-COM+ System Application (DISABLE) -Same as COM+ Event System
-Computer Browser (DISABLE) -Maintains a listing of computers located on the net

hin your computer or across a domain. I don't think many people would have a use

span multiple resources. Don't ask, because I don't know I have had it disabled
without any problems though.

.......................

er functions. I have found that surfing the web is slower with this disabled. ie

you can test it for yourself if you would like.
................................................................................
......................
-Error Reporting Service (DISABLE) -Phone homes to Microsoft when application er

after disabling this service, put it to manual. (UPDATE) I have gotten word tha
t this service along with the service below, are needed for 56k and dailup conne

eave this alone. Otherwise disable it.

........................

cans, every week or something.. So the choice is yours.
................................................................................
.......................
-TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper Service (DISABLE) -Legacy support for NetBios over TCP/IP

ty risk, disable it)
................................................................................
......................
-Telephony (DISABLE/Automatic) -If you dialup to the Internet like with 56k, ect
.. Leave this alone. However if you got Cable, DSL with router, LAN connection d
isable it. A guy named Craig, emailed me and told me that if your dsl is PPPoE,

r, like myself, you can disable this service.
................................................................................
........................

tion. DISABLE this! Security risk!

Si inca cateva:
How to: Windows Services
Customizarea serviciilor XP pentru o performanta maxima si consum minim de memor
ie. Valabil pentru Windows XP Service Pack 2 cu updateurile la zi pana in noiemb
rie inclusiv. Incarcarea memorie dupa boot, fara nimic rezident, e de aproximati
v 75 mb RAM. Configuratia care urmeaza e data pentru o statie singura sau aflata
intr-un workgroup, pastrand insa cat mai multe din facilitatile sistemului de o
perare.
Unele dintre sugestii pot fi modificate, dar deja riscati sa aveti surprize si s
a nu stiti de la ce se trage. Aceasta este cea mai redusa configuratie sigura.
In caz ca ceva merge prost, pentru ca se mai intampla, puteti reveni la setarile
default cu acest fisier reg
.net runtime optimization service
Necesar pentru aplicatiile scrise in .net
Manual
Alerter
Necesar pentru a primi alerte din partea administratorului de retea intr-un dome
niu NT
Disable
Application layer gateway service
Necesar pentru addonuri pt Windows Firewall, nu am auzit sa fie folosit vreodata
Disable
Application management
Folosit de ?Add/remove control panel?
Manual
ASP.net state service
Folosit de aplicatiile scrise in .net
Manual
Automatic updates
Necesar pentru Windows Update. In mod normal mananca memorie inutil. Prefer sa-l
tin disable si sa-l trec pe automatic si sa-l pornesc atunci cand fac update, a
dica o data pe luna. Nu, nu ajunge sa-l porniti, trebuie sa-l setati si ca autom
atic (pt. ca asa vrea Microsoft), dupa ce updateul e gata setati totul la loc pe
disabled.
Disabled (vezi nota de mai sus)
Background intelligent transfer service
Necesar pentru Windows Update si alte cateva aplicatii care-l folosesc (vreo 2-3
antivirusi, posibil si altele).
Manual
Clipbook
Clipboard partajabil in retea, inutil
Disabled
COM+ event system
Obscuritati, dar daca ii dati disable mai rau veti blestema, asa ca lasati-l cum
e
Automatic
COM+ system application
Identic cu cel de mai sus.
Manual
Computer browser
Mentine lista computerelor din retea pentru a le face vizibile in Network Neighb
ourhood. Daca aveti un singur computer nu aveti nevoie de ea si preferati stilul
sanatos cu map network drive dati-i un disable sanatos.
Disabled
Cryptographic services
Mentine si actualizeaza lista certificatelor pentru drivere, aplicatii si altele
. Nu musca, nu cere de mancare, e mai sanatos de lasat pe automatic
Automatic
DCOM service process launcher
Anonim dar necesar.
Automatic
DHCP client
Face cereri, aloca si actualizeaza IP-ul in cadrul retelelor cu DHCP. A nu se op
ri daca aveti dial-up, ADSL cu DHCP, LAN cu DHCP, VPN, PPPoE, PPPoA. Daca aveti
IP fix il puteti opri definitiv, personal ma enerveaza pentru ca daca e oprit, W
indowsul da un mesaj de eroare in cazul folosirii ?repair connection?. Si e mai
comod de apasat butonul ala decat sa dati manual in command prompt flush la DNS,
ARP si NetBIOS.
Automatic (Disabled daca nu va deranjeaza ce am zis mai sus)
Distributed link tracking manager
Urmareste stergerea, mutarea si redenumirea fisierelor pe o partitie NTFS. In te
orie e bun, in practica merge bine doar daca statia face parte dintr-un domeniu
NT. Asa ca?
Disabled
DNS Client
Daca faceti parte dintr-un domeniu NT, lasati-l in pace, Daca nu, il puteti opri
linistit, pe o statie obisnuita face doar DNS cache. Daca e insa oprit veti ave
a mai multe requesturi catre serverul DNS, ceea ce uneori e deranjant si produce
incarcarea mai lenta a paginii, insa destul de greu sesizabil. Oprirea lui prod
uce acelasi mesaj de eroare ca si oprirea DHCP service.

Enervant si degeaba

Fast user switching compatibility
Daca folositi mizeria aia de ?switch user?, lasati-l in pace, daca nu, aia e - k

Disabled
Indexing service
Desi teoretic e util, in realitate mai mult enerveaza decat face ceva.
Disabled
IPSEC services
Necesar pt conexiuni VPN sau in domenii NT. Necesar pentru functionarea Windows
Update. Teoretic puteti face un firewall interesant din reguli de IPSEC, eu m-am
plictisit repede de el si i-am dat?
