First step is to create a profile, you just go to Control Panel, click on User accounts and create and account.
Name it “Gaming” or something like that. Now log in to it.
Adjusting for Best Performance : right click on my computer, choose advanced>visual effects and then click
on adjust for best performance.
You need at least 256MB of ram to do this, if you do not know how much RAM you have you can
check by right-clicking on My Computer and selecting properties. Near the bottom of the page it will
tell you how much RAM you have.
1.Disable Paging Executive -double click it and in the decimal put a 1 - this allows XP to keep data in memory
now instead of paging sections of ram to harddrive yeilds faster performance.
2.Large System Cache- double click it and change the decimal to 1 -this allows XP Kernal to Run in memory
and improves system performance a lot.
3.Create a new dword and name it IOPageLockLimit - double click it and set the value in hex - 4000 if you
have 128MB of ram or set it to 10000 if you have 256MB set it to 40000 if you have more than 512MB of ram
-this tweak will speed up your disckcache.
Reboot
XP holds files in it’s memory even after you have closed the application using them making it impossible to
delete them from your hard drive. To fix this:
Start -> Run -> Regedit
Find the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.avi\shellex\PropertyHandler\ directory and delete
the “DEFAULT” key.
For Users with 256 MB RAM or more this tweak will boost their Windows- and Game-Performance.
What it does: It tells Windows not to use any Swap File until there is really no more free RAM left.
Open the System Configuration Utility by typing msconfig.exe in the RUN command. There in your System.ini
you have to add “ConservativeSwapfileUsage=1″ under the 386enh section.
Disable Services:
XP Pro runs a lot of services by default that are pointless if you are not on a network (If you are on a
network don’t touch it), the following services are ones that I safely disable thereby freeing up memory but
check what each one does first to make sure your not using it for something:
Go to Run and type services.msc, right click on each service, properties and choose disable.
NOTE: Depending on your version of Windows and settings you may not have some of these services.

To check what file system you have go to My Computer and select a drive, in the details tab or in properties it
will tell you if it is NTFS or FAT32.
NTFS is a great file system, but its feature-set comes at a slight cost in performance. You can negate this a little
with the following tips:
* By default NTFS will automatically update timestamps whenever a directory is traversed. This isn’t a
necessary feature, and it slows down large volumes. Disable it by going to Run and type regedit:
* NTFS uses disparate master file control tables to store filesystem information about your drives. Over time
these core MFT files grow and become fragmented, slowing down all accesses to the drive. By setting aside a
little space, MFT’s can grow without becoming fragmented.
In the same key where you disabled the last access feature creat a new DWORD value called
‘NtfsMftZoneReservation’ and set it to 2.
Windows Explorer caches DLLs (Dynamic-Link Libraries) in memory for a period of time after the application
using them has been closed. This can be an inefficient use of memory.
2. Create a new DWORD sub-key named ‘AlwaysUnloadDLL’ and set the default value to equal ‘1′ to disable
Windows caching the DLL in memory.
1. Run “Regedit”
2. Goto [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory
Management\PrefetchParameters\EnablePrefetcher]
3. Set the value to either 0-Disable, 1-App launch prefetch, 2-Boot Prefetch, 3-Both (”3″ is recommended).
4. Reboot.
It will decrease the boot time but double and increase the performance of your XP.
1.Log on as “Administrator”.
2. Run - gpedit.msc
3. Expand the “Local Computer Policy” branch.
4. Then expand the “Administrative Templates” branch.
5. Expand the “Network” branch.
6. Highlight the “QoS Packet Scheduler” in left pane.
7. In the right window pane double-click the “Limit Reservable Bandwidth” setting.
8. On the settings tab check the “Enabled” item.
9. Change “Bandwidth limit %” to read 0.
10. Then go to your Network connections Start=>Control Panel>Network & Internet connections>Network
Connections and right-click on your connection. Then under the General or the Networking tab, (where it lists
your protocols) make sure QoS packet scheduler is enabled.
Additional Tips
You can start up a game, then press Control+Alt+Del to bring up task manager, go to processes tab and find
“explorer.exe” and click “end process” button all your icons and the start menu will disappear that is because
explorer.exe controls opening folders, shortcuts ect. which you don’t need during a game and wastes memory.
to turn it back on go back to task manager (Control+Alt+Del) go to File> New Task (Run…) and type
“explorer.exe” and press Enter to bring everything back.
