Great tips for browsers !

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/Windows/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
