1) Speed Up Your 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 :
(1) Open up the Registry ( Start > Run > type "regedit" )

(2) Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / Software / Microsoft / Windows /Current Version / Explorer / RemoteComputer / NameSpace

(3) 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.

2) Changing The Internet Explorer With Title

This setting allows you to customize Internet Explorer by using your own window title. For example you could rename IE to 'My Browser' or anything else you like! See the pic below :

1) Open your registry ( Start > Run > type "regedit" )

(2) Navigate to the key below.

Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main]
Value Name: Window Title
Data Type: REG_SZ

(3) Create a new string value, or modify the existing value, to equal the title you would like.

Note: Delete the value of 'WindowTitle' to change the title back to the default.
