We can change a lot of windows settings by tweaking the WINDOWS REGISTRY according to our choice. These tweaks can make your windows run faster with improved efficiency & performance. We can user some third party utility (like TWEAKUI) or WINDOWS REGISTRY EDITOR for the tweaking. Here I am giving some simple Registry Tweaks which you can do yourself by using the windows registry editor.
IMPORTANT : Tweaking windows registry can be dangerous if not done properly. In worst case scenario windows may not boot at all or some of your software / applicantion may not work. I do not take any responsibility if any data loss occurs. Proceed at your own risk.
PRECAUTION : Backup your registry or it will be better if you make an Image of your System before proceeding with registry editing.
Windows Search Optimization.
Windows XP have a search facility for your computer to search for files (Start, Search), but it takes some clicking in the advanced section to get what you exactly want! To optimize the search function navigate to the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer
where you will find some important DWORD-values. Change these values to optimize your Windows search:
SearchSystemDirs=1
SearchHidden=1
IncludeSubFolders=1
CaseSensitive=0
SearchSlowFiles=1 (if you have a tape drive, else: 0)
