How can I disable the fragmentation in Windows XP?

I plan on upgrading the hard drive on my laptop to an SSD. I have been informed that an SSD will last longer if the fragmentation is disabled. How do I turn it off?  Dell Inspiron E1505 running WIndows XP. Thank you!

Hello.

I'm sure that XP is not auto defrag as Vista and 7 only.

  • How can I disable the firewall of windows for FPGA

    I tried to compile an FPGA vi. Towards the end of compilation, asked me if I wanted to disable something in the windows firewall (probably to allow for communication between my computer and my PXI-7854R). At the time, I had no administrative privilege and couldn't do anything but cancel this request. Of course, nothing that I compiles now runs. How to get back to the point where I can disable the firewall?

    A picture of the error message is attached.

  • How can I disable the 'Open with' window that appears whenever I start?

    My desktop pc using Windows 7 Home Premium. For years, I want to start with nothing default opening. Each time, the choice of what to open were made manually by me.

    For some reason that I don't understand, one day after start-up, this 'Open with' window appears. Under "Choose the program you want to use to open this file," the indicated file was my name. (I replaced the one here with the word "Me.")

    I never asked this window will open after startup. It appeared for the first time without having done me anything. I do not think that I have all the files with my first name only, so I closed the window and ignored.

    But the window open whenever I start. Don't need or want to be, I keep closing and ignore him.

    Soon, not one, but two of the pop-up appeared. Then THREE.

    For several years, the three windows double as above appeared whenever I start.

    Don't know how or why it began. Don't know which program is causing it. Don't know how to stop it.

    Anyone recognize this window? Do you know which program is causing it to appear after startup? Do you know how to disable? Is there a trick to disable three of them?

    (1) is the window 'Open with' above now a default pop-up window after startup that cannot be disabled without the registry editor?

    No, the "open with" isn't a local default value.  You see it because something - probably malware - tried to configure your computer to start a process at startup time.  Windows, however, does not recognize the name of the process (i.e. the file name) as an executable program so it asks you to specify which program to use to open the file.

    No, you don't need to manually edit the registry to resolve this problem.

    (2) there is no program in Control Panel I can open that has a simple toggle to turn it on or off?

    No, there is no program in Control Panel you can use to solve this problem.

    Here's how fix you the problem.

    A. the easy way (doesn't unless you are very lucky)

    • Click the start ORB, all programs and then scroll down until you find "Startup" and click on it.
    • If you see that anything that gets filed that you do not want to start when you log on to "Start", right click and delete.
    • If you do not know what the items listed and are reluctant to delete something you don't understand not (a very good policy to follow), list all the elements in your next reply and someone here will try to advise you.

    B. the way a little harder (that almost always works)

    • Download here Autoruns.zip (this course is that you download from a Microsoft web site)--> http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx
    • Right-click on the downloaded file and select "extract all".
    • Go to the folder where the extracted files are located (this should have been opened for you by default), and then double-click on autoruns.exe
    • Wait until the program has finished scanning (look at the bottom left corner) and then select the 'connection '.
    • Look in the column titled 'Image path' for a line that includes whatever it is that appeared as the 'file' in the original pop-up window.
    • If you find a line with the same name in there, uncheck the box at the left end of the line, close Autoruns and restart your computer.
      • If the ToolTip no longer displayed, you can (a) do nothing do or Autoruns (b) re - run, find the line you're not controlled and right click > delete it.
    • If you cannot find a line with the name you're looking for...
      • Click on the "all" tab
      • Click file, and then click search, then enter the name and click "next".
        1. If a line is found, right click and select 'copy '.
        2. Paste the line in your next reply here
        3. Press F3 to find the next instance and repeat steps 1 and 2 until no more bodies are found (if there are several rows, you can open a Notepad window and paste the lines temporarily here)
        4. If you are reluctant to publish anything with your name in it, change the lines to replace your name

    Ignore the link of the player Shockwave that probably, you mustn't he compared to Flash player because it is barely used nowadays.

    FredMcD, you really need correct/update your clipboard for that.

    The downloadable Shockwave player version (not flashing) is 12.1.3.153 and not 15.0.0.152 as you can be confusing which version of the flashplayer reached before.

    Flash player is 15.0.0.189 and not 14.0.0.179 as you can see at https://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

    Flash player is used for good Flash videos like Youtube and Flash games in Shockwave player is little used compared to Flash, for things such as games and online learning tools.

    And please, don't say "I asked. It's the way it is displayed on the site"as you said last time in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1026518 , because who says little about why you're wrong ad versions and calling Shockwave player, Shockwave Flash.

    HP pavilion D4100Y

    Windows XP SP2 or 3 (not sure)

    No error message

    No recent changes

    Problem: The program "HP updates Agent" run frequently and on no particular schedule, certainly not the one I chose.  He takes over my computer for hours and using most of the CPU, fluctuating between 13% and 87% to 1 etc.3% at 6%, etc.. The computer crashes and I can not use it for something else. On the HP updates screen, I put updates on 'NEVER', but that did not work.  The programs always run. In the Windows Task Manager window, the program is called "Agent updates from HP".

    I find nothing on this problem in the base of support.

    How can I disable the Agent updates from HP running?

    Select your Start button, in the search box type 'msconfig' then msconfig.exe under programs.

    Look under the tabs "Services" and "Boot". Uncheck update HP agent, select 'Apply' and close.

  • How can I disable the mouse pad when you use a mouse plug-and-play?

    How can I disable the mouse pad when you use a mouse plug-and-play? I tried to disable the driver, and nothing works.

    Hello

    Check with support of the manufacturer system, documentation online or forums that there is probably
    Shortcut keys that enable and disable the touchpad functions.

    Parameters for TouchPad located in the control panel - mouse (there may be several tabs with TouchPad entered)
    and some come with a utility that loads in the Notification area next to the clock in the bottom right.

    ==========================================

    If necessary: (make sure that you have restarted at least once, if the above did not work)

    Panel of configuration manager devices - mouse and pointing devices - Double click on the touchpad - the driver tab-
    Click on update driver (it comes may not do anything like MS is far behind the drivers of certification), now right CLICK
    on the TouchPad and UNINSTALL.

    Then go to the USB and UNINSTALL ALL controllers except the category itself (all in). RESET

    This will refresh the driver for the TouchPad and battery USB. This does not prevent the touchpad from working.

    The similar procedure on XP, Windows 7 and Vista is the same, except that we need to clear the specific device if present.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310575

    Then go to the system manufacturer's website and get the latest touchpad drivers.

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put it-click on - RUN AS ADMIN.

    I hope this helps.
