Here are some good tricks making your Xp running smooth: Maximization of internet bandwidth 1. Log off first. 2. Login again as Administrator 3. Start > Run > gpedit.msc 4. Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Network > QoS Packet Scheduler 5. Limit Reservable Bandwidth > Enable > Value set to 0 > Apply Maximization of internet surfing speed HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/RemoteComputer/NameSpace Delete the below value key: {D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF} Register your WinXP: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion] Set the value of "RegDone" = 1 Shutdown XP Faster When a user shuts down Windows XP, first the system has to kill all services currently running. Every once in a while the service does not shut down instantly and windows gives it a change to shut down on its own before it kills it. This amount of time that windows waits is stored in the system registry. If you modify this setting, then windows will kill the service earlier. To modify the setting, follow the directions below: Start Regedit. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control. Click on the "Control" Folder. Select "WaitToKillServiceTimeout" Right click on it and select Modify. Set it a value lower than 2000 (Mine is set to 200). Shutdown XP faster 2 Like previous versions of windows, it takes long time to restart or shutdown windows xp when the "Exit Windows" sound is enabled. to solve this problem you must disable this useless sound. click start button then go to settings -> control panel -> Sound, Speech and Audio devices -> Sounds and Audio Devices -> Sounds, then under program events and windows menu click on "Exit Windows" sub-menu and highlight it. now from sounds you can select,choose "none" and then click apply and ok. now you can see some improvements when shutting down your system. Accelerate the response time of menu: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop Set the value of MenuShowDelay to 0 (Default 400) CREDZ AND REP IS APPRICATED
Nice. Some Performance Tweaks all placed in one location. Ive got one too. Set Your Registry Prefetch to "3" Registry Path: HKEY Local Machine >> SYSTEM >> CurrentControlSet >> Control >> Session Manager >> Memory Management >> PrefetchParamaters >> EnablePrefetcher >> 3 .. then Delete Everything in Your Prefetch Folder which can be found.. C:\Windows\Prefetch Initally slowing down your boot and programs Once. (Only Recommend for 512mb or more). I would give ya a Rep point.. but I can't yet.. No Creds cause its nothing new to me. Fair Enough.
lol. Tweak XP can only be used for a short amount of time too (its one of those trial programs).. but Does make the process easier I'd admit.
