In Windows XP, how can I speed up my LAN browsing?

To speed up the browsing of your local LAN try this:

1.Open the registry editor.

2.Go to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RemoteComput

er\NameSpace

3.Export this key (in order to back it up, just in case) and then delete the key called

{D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF} (Task Scheduler).

4.Close the registry.

Be sure to check your 'Binding Order' in Network Connections > Advanced.

Make sure you're logged on as actually "Administrator". Do not log on with any account that

just has administrator privileges.

1.Start > Run > type gpedit.msc (not available in home version).

2.Expand the Local Computer Policy branch.

3.Expand the Administrative Templates branch.

4.Expand the Network branch.

5.Highlight the "QoS Packet Scheduler" in left window.

6.In right window double click the "limit reservable bandwidth" setting.

7.On setting tab check the ENABLED item.

8.Where it says "Bandwidth limit %" change it to read 0 (ZERO).

9.Close gpedit.msc.

Effect is immediate on some systems, some need to re-boot.
