speed up your internet browsing and network shared file on Windows XP
Ever wonder why shared files on other computer on your network took a while to load when you opened up your “My Network place”? This is actually a bug which resides in Windows since Windows 2000 version and stays till Windows XP. Windows look for any Scheduled Task on remote computer and this is what cause the delay. Fortunately, this bug is easy to rectify as you only need to delete a key in the registry. Here’s how.
Under the start menu, click “Run” and type “regedit” (without the quotes) to enter the Registry Editor. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE > Microsoft > Windows > Explorer > RemoteComputer > and delete this key “{D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF}” under NameSpace like the printscreen below.
Delete this key and your network is speedier and responsive!
The result? Well, as far as internet browsing experience, it feels the same. But as far as the shared files are concern, it’s more responsive and it no longer loads perpetually.
*Caution. Messing with the registry key can be dangerous, you might damage your OS and you might need to reinstall the OS again. Therefore, only follow the intrustruction here and don’t mess with any other key.
