Any, even the most advanced computer system without control programs is a useless set of electronic components: transistors, capacitors, ICs, and others. In the living beings and computers is even possible to draw a certain analogy, comparing the soul of the software, and the body - with hardwarecomponents.It's no secret that in order to achieve maximum efficiency in the work of man must be configured in a certain way.The same is true of computer systems: adjustment of the operating system allows a certain degree to extend functionality.
operability "out of the box»
Windows systems are the most common.They are used at least 80% of the owners of computers and laptops.A "killer" windows - the famous "Linux" is content with the remains of the market.That is why an increasing number of people are interested in how to perform the configuration of Windows.
developers from Microsoft, promoting their OSes, based on the fact that to work with it does not require any special training (compare with "Linux"), and all functions are available immediately after installation.How can you not remember Vladimir Ilyich with his famous statement about the cook-managed state.We have to admit that "Vindovs" the idea failed to implement.So, with just a mouse to control the system can even schoolboy.
Disadvantages versatility
However, if after installation configuration of the operating system have not been performed, then expect something special from the computer is not necessary.He will be "like everyone else."Robust, reliable, but often not the best possible way.Such as a racing car, the speed of which is artificially limited for safety reasons.
Each user uses a computer to solve the problems inherent only to him.One important system performance, for which people are willing to sacrifice the beauty of the interface;other - energy efficiency;Well, and the third - the disclosure of the potential set of hardware components.Correctly executed system configuration can satisfy everyone.
budgeted opportunity
Developers, knowing all the drawbacks versatility, a software implemented a mechanism to make adjustments to the system.You can use two ways to install a specialized application and use it to set up OSes or amended standard means.The first option is more efficient and allows for some hidden features.The second in terms of use is completely safe.For beginners, we recommend you to choose exactly it.Next we will look at how the system configuration in Windows 7.
reduces the consumption of RAM and CPU usage
Each program, located in the RAM in the background, takes a part of the hardware resources.If the application really needs the user, such behavior is justified.Otherwise, disconnect it.
After installing OSes and all supporting applications should be performed system configuration 7. To do this, press the key combination Win + R and appeared prompt, type msconfig (Enter).Further, the cap arm to indicate the section "Startup".Here, the recording in the first column indicates the program to run unattended at startup.Installed tick enables the launch, while its absence - prohibits.For example, you can safely turn off the automatic loading of Microsoft Office 2010, responsible for the synchronization, unless, of course, this feature is not needed.The same applies to absolutely useless service ACDInToch, which is part of the well-known image viewer.
Please note that the configuration of the system in Windows 7 performed by cleaning startup should not be thoughtless.Some programs in the list are required.For example, Punto Switcher is needed for automatic language switching;WheelMouse to support a mouse;wmagent for the correct operation of the client WebMoney and so on. d. The decision of the following: find information on each line, you can draw a conclusion about the necessity of a program under startup.
hundred nurses have ... Turning off the defender
change through msconfig does not end the system configuration.Setting more complicated.For example, not everyone knows that in a standard window can be made to work OSes some useful adjustments.To do this, click "Start" and select "Control Panel."You can also free up some resources by turning off some of the features and applications.For example, most modern computers with installed third-party system configuration Antivirus necessarily require shutdown of the Defender "Vindovs."Entering the settings, you need to select "Programs", then "Options", where you want to remove the check mark from the check.The menu list is "Administrator".There is deselect the "Use this program" and click "Save".Do not make the computer system of the cabbage from the protective anti-virus modules, because each of them, working in real time, takes some of the facilities themselves.Algorithms intersect loading arbitrator extra work.Obviously, this is overkill.Of course, as we have already pointed out, this is true in the presence of a reliable set of integrated antivirus.
loophole malicious programs
correct configuration of the system must include a mechanism for deactivating startup applications with media.It was written many works, but, alas, not all have time to read them and become victims of viral programs.Here, in the Control Panel, select "Auto".In the settings window should remove the check mark, prohibiting the use of this possibility.After that, when you change the media (for example, by inserting the CD into the drive) automatic start will not occur.The user must open the "My Computer" and browse the desired self-support.It is a snap.
In general, in the Control Panel many items allow setting.It is useful to look into the "Keyboard", increasing the rate of repetition;a "mouse" can change the visual display cursor, as well as the speed of movement.
beauty or practicality
configuration is not possible without making changes to the settings OSes.To do this, call the properties of the shortcut "Computer" (usually on the desktop).This opens a window where you specify in the list on the left "Advanced system settings."Adjustment parameters the item "Speed" allows you to turn off all visual ornaments, bringing the look of the classic OSes (Win 2000).We can not advise anything in this respect: it all depends on the requirements and preferences of the user.
Returning to the usual
New versions of the Windows operating system developers abandoned storage of temporary files Temp folder in the directory windows.At first glance, everything is not affected.However, it is not.In the process of installing applications required to create temporary files.In theory, they should be automatically destroyed in the process, freeing valuable disk space, but it is often not performed.As a result, on some computers, the Temp folder reaches the impressive size of several gigabytes.All this debris can be removed by yourself, but the director of the temporary files should be available.Its accommodation is just indicated in the "Environment Variables," calling the TEMP and TMP.
«thin" system configuration.Services Configuration
OSes besides the usual Windows programs use the concept of "service".This application runs in the background, but not through the startup.Many of them provide the performance of all software package.At skilful approach to the adjustment of experienced users can have a significant impact on the final functional.Consider how to implement such a system configuration.Service can be stopped and started.Also possibility of activating the automatic start, without which it is sometimes impossible to do.
To access the window with a list of services you can use in several ways.Operating systems with extended menu is enough to label "Computer" click right mouse button and select "Manage."In the window you can see the item "Services and Applications".Opening the appropriate entry, you can select the desired line.Here, the "Condition" indicates whether or not the service.
example, when MBs of Internet payment is recommended to disable the automatic downloading of new versions of files.In the column "Name" select "Update Windows», double-click the mouse and in the menu "Startup type" to specify "Disable".
