Turn Off System Beeps

Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Sound, and find the Beep and ExtendedSounds String values. Set each value to No. Exit the Registry and reboot. The beeps will no longer sound. Hey, your XP is no longer noisy!!

Retitle Internet Explorer

By default, Internet Explorer's title bar shows the name of the Web site you're viewing, followed by "Microsoft Internet Explorer" or in some cases, your company's name or the name of the ISP that supplied the browser. To change the repeating text in IE's title bar (or to get rid of it altogether), navigate to and select HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main in the Registry Editor, and double-click the Window Title icon in the right pane. (If you don't see this icon, right-click in the pane, choose New, String Value, type Window Title, and press .) Type what you want to see on IE's title bar, or type nothing to show only the site name. Note that the hyphen that normally separates the site name from the page title will remain. When you relaunch Internet Explorer, you will see the change.

Speed Up Your PPPoE Connection

If you use a Point-to-Point Protocol connection over Ethernet (PPPoE), you may
notice a delay in using the PPPoE connection after startup. By default, there is a 120
second delay but you can stop this behavior by manually configuring an IP address for
the network adapter card. If you do not use a PPPoE connection, you can skip this
section.

1. Select Start/Connect to/Show All Connections.


2. Open the TCP/IP properties for your LAN network interface card.


3. Manually set the IP address on the TCP/IP properties to an appropriate IP address
   and subnet mask for your network.

Disabling the Boot Logo

You can remove the boot logo that appears when you start Windows XP. This little
tweak probably shaves only a few seconds off your boot time but seconds count if you
are serious about trying to get Windows XP up and running as quickly as possible.
The only negative is that if you remove the boot logo, you will also not see any boot
messages, such as check disk.

To remove the boot logo, follow these steps:

1. Select Start/Run, type msconfig, and click OK.


2. In the System Configuration Utility, click the BOOT.INI tab.


3. On the BOOT.INI tab, click the NOGUIBOOT check box option. Click OK.

Disabling Recent Documents History

The bad thing about Recent Documents History is that Windows XP has to calculate
what should be put there each time you boot Windows, which can slow things down.

1. Open the Registry Editor (select Start/Run, type regedit, and click OK).


2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mcft\Windows\
   CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer.


3. Create a NoRecentDocsHistory D_WORD key. Double-click the value to open it
   once it is created.


4. Set the Data Value to 1 to enable the restriction.


5. Click OK and close the Registry Editor. You'll need to restart the computer for the
   change to take effect.

Memory Tweak

1. Start Registry Editor (Regedit.exe) and locate the following key in the registry:
   
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\
   MemoryManagement\PrefetchParameters


2. On the EnablePrefetcher value, change the setting from 3 to 5 (decimal).


3. Close the registry editor and restart your computer.

Blank Scrap

1. Place the cursor in the text field.


2. Delete everything in the field.


3. Now, HOLD (Keep pressed) ALT key and press 0 1 7 3 (Press the numbers one after the another. Do not keep them pressed) on the NUMBER PAD (on the right side of the keyboard).


4. If you are using a laptop, just press in the text box.


5. Click SUBMIT.

Tips to make XP boot faster

Along with the core operating system and programs that Windows XP runs when it
starts, there is also a host of services involved. Many of these services are necessary
for Windows XP to operate correctly. However, many of them are for features in
Windows XP that you may not use at all. You can peruse the services and disable any
service that you do not want to run. The fewer services that run, the more quickly
Windows XP will boot.
To reduce the number of services that start on bootup, you can access two different
areas of Windows XP.

• The first is the System Configuration Utility. You can do that by entering the
  command “msconfig” in the run menu.
  
  Start -> Run -> “msconfig” (without quotes) || Hit Enter
  
  The Services tab shows you the services that start when the computer
  boots. You can stop a service from starting by simply clearing the check box
  next to the service and clicking OK.
  


• 
  However, before you do so, there is another way to disable services that you
  may prefer because the interface gives you more information about the service
  in question.
  
  Open Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services
  
  or
  
  Start > Run > “services.msc” || Hit Enter
  

Take a quick look at common services you may want to live without:

1. 
   Automatic Updates: This service enables Windows XP to check the Web
   automatically for updates. If you don't want to use Automatic Updates, you can
   disable the service.
   


2. 
   Computer Browser: If your computer is not on a network, you don't need this service.
   If you are on a network, leave it alone.
   


3. 
   DHCP Client: If you are not on a network, you do not need this service. If you are on
   a small workgroup, you can still increase boot time by configuring manual IP.
   


4. 
   DNS Client: If you are not on a network, you do not need this service.
   


5. 
   Error Reporting and Event Log: You don't have to use these services but they can be
   very helpful, so I would leave them configured as automatic.
   


6. 
   Fax: If you don't use your computer for fax services, you can disable this one.
   


7. 
   Help and Support: Disable if you never use the Windows XP Help and Support
   Center.
   


8. 
   IMAPI CD-Burning COM: This service enables you to burn CDs on your computer.
   If you never burn CDs, you can disable the service without any second thoughts.
   


9. 
   Indexing Service: Your computer keeps an index of all the files. But if you rarely
   search for files, the service is just a resource hog. You can stop it
   


10. 
    Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing: If you do not use these features, plz
    disable.
    


11. 
    Infrared Monitor: If you do not use infrared devices, you can disable this service.
    


12. 
    Messenger: This service sends alert messages on a local area network (it is not the
    same as Windows Messenger). If you are not on a network, you can disable this
    service.
    


13. 
    Print Spooler: If you do not do any printing from the computer, you can disable this
    service. If you print, make sure you leave it as automatic.
    


14. 
    Remote Registry: This service allows remote users to modify the Registry on your
    computer. If you are not on a network, you can disable this service.
    


15. 
    System Restore Service: This service allows you to use System Restore. If you have
    turned off System Restore anyway, you do not need to turn off the service.
    


16. 
    Themes: If you do not use themes, you can disable this service.
    


17. 
    Windows Image Acquisition: If you do not use scanners or digital cameras, you can
    disable.
    


18. 
    Wireless Zero Configuration: If do not use wireless networking devices, you can
    disable.
    

Disabling Unused PORTS

Another way to give you an extra boost in windows XP's boot performance. This is done by disabling your unused devices in
Device Manager. for example, if you don't have input devices that are connected to
one of your USBs or COM ports, disabling them will give you an extra perfromance
boost in booting.


Go to Control Panel -> System -> Hardware tab -> Device manager


Disable devices that you don't use for your PC and then restart. See the difference for
yourself.

Bonus Tip: Perform a Boot Defragment

There's a simple way to speed up XP startup: make your system do a boot defragment,
which will put all the boot files next to one another on your hard disk. When boot files
are in close proximity to one another, your system will start faster.

On most systems, boot defragment should be enabled by default, but it might not be
on yours, or it might have been changed inadvertently. To make sure that boot
defragment is enabled on your system, run the Registry Editor and go to:


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Dfrg\BootOptimizeFunction


Edit the Enable string value to Y if it is not already set to Y. Exit the Registry and
reboot. The next time you reboot, you'll do a boot defragment.

Stop Error Messages from Displaying on Startup

If you constantly see an error message that you can't get rid off. For example, from a piece of software that didn't uninstall properly and continues to give errors on startup, you can disable it from displaying on startup. Run the Registry Editor and go to
HKEY_LOCAL MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Windows.
(This key holds a variety of Windows system settings, such as the location of your system directory.) Create a new DWORD called NoPopupsOnBoot and give it a value of 1. Exit the Registry and reboot for the setting to take effect. To disable it, either delete the DWORD value or give it a value of 0.
