XP performance tools
In Windows 2000 and XP, you can right-click My Computer and
select Manage to see a great selection of these tools.
The Computer Management window brings together many Microsoft Management Console
snap-in controls that would otherwise have to be launched individually. (These
Microsoft controls can be recognized in the Windows System32 folder by their .msc
extension.)
Alternatively, you can open the Computer Management window by clicking Start,
All Programs, Administrative Tools, Computer Management.
If you don't see the Administrative Tools option on your Start menu, Right-click
the Start button and choose Properties. Click Customize.
If you're using the Classic Start menu, check Display Administrative Tools in
the list at the bottom and click OK.
Although the items on the Administrative Tools menu are about system maintenance
and configuration, a few of them (like Services and Performance) can also be
useful for tweaking system efficiency. |
