Optimizing Hard Disk Performance

Many of the functions in Microsoft Windows XP rely on having enough disk space free to operate,
including Windows’ virtual memory system and programs that need to create temporary
files, to name just two of the most important. In addition, almost every function
in Windows relies on quick hard disk access. Windows includes a number of utilities
that can help you optimize hard disk performance, including the following:

■ Disk Cleanup Wizard Scans your hard disk looking for files that can be safely
removed, helping you to free up disk space.

Disk Defragmenter Rearranges the data on your hard drive so that files are
written to disk contiguously. During the defragmentation, it also places more frequently
used files toward the front of the disk so that they load faster.

■ Chkdsk Scans the files and directory structure of your disk to make sure that
they are free of errors.

Script Errors

Users might report that script error notifications appear on their monitors while surfing

websites, and they might also complain that they are continually asked if they want to

debug those errors. You might also have users with the opposite problem; a developer

or technician might need to see these errors when testing a new website. Whatever the

case, script options exist in the Advanced options of Internet Explorer, and they can be

easily enabled or disabled.

_ Enabling and Disabling Script Debugging

To enable or disable script debugging, or if a user should be notified of all script errors,

follow these steps:

1. Open Internet Explorer, and from the Tools menu, select Internet Options.

2. On the Advanced tab, in the Browsing section, select or clear the following check

boxes and then click OK: Disable Script Debugging and Display A Notification

About Every Script Error.
