Speed up ur browsing of
Windows 2000 & XP
machines Here’s a great tip
to speed up your browsing
of Windows XP machines.
Its actually a fix to a bug
installed as default in
Windows 2000 that scans
shared files for Scheduled
Tasks. And it turns out that
you can experience a delay
as long as 30 seconds
when you try to view
shared files across a
network because Windows
2000 is using the extra time
to search the remote
computer for any
Scheduled Tasks. Note that
though the fix is originally
intended for only those
affected, Windows 2000
users will experience that
the actual browsing speed
of both the Internet &
Windows Explorers
improve significantly after
applying it since it doesn’t
search for Scheduled Tasks
anymore. Here’s how :
Open up the Registry and
go to : HKEY_LOCAL_
MACHINE/Software/
Microsoft/Wi ndows/
Current Version/Explorer/
RemoteComputer/
NameSpace Under that
branch, select the key :
{D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF}
and delete it. This is key
that instructs Windows to
search for Scheduled
Tasks. If you like you may
want to export the exact
branch so that you can
restore the key if
necessary. This fix is so
effective that it doesn’t
require a reboot and you
can almost immediately
determine yourself how
much it speeds up your
browsing processes
