Speed Up Your Network and Internet Access

Network and Internet Access

In order to perform this, you will have to hack the System Registry and delete a reference key. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Open up the Registry Editor by clicking the Start Menu and selecting Run. Then type regedit in the text box and click the OK button.
2. Once the Registry Editor has loaded, expand the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE key.
3. Next, expand Software and then Microsoft.
4. Locate Windows and expand that as well.
5. You will have to edit the main system files, so expand CurrentVersion.
6. Because this feature is a feature of the Windows component known as Explorer, expand the Explorer key.
7. Next, you will have to modify the remote computer settings, so expand the RemoteComputer key and then expand the NameSpace key to show all of the features that are enabled.
8. In the NameSpace folder you will find two entries. One is "{2227A280-3AEA-1069-A2DE-08002B30309D}" which tells Explorer to show printers shared on the remote machine. The other, "{D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF}," tells Explorer to show remote scheduled tasks. This is the one that you should delete. This can be done by right-clicking the name of the key and selecting Delete.

Tips:
If you feel that there is no use of viewing remote shared printers and interest in shared files only, then you should consider removing the printers key which is "{2227A280-3AEA-1069-A2DE-08002B30309D}", This will also boost your browsing speed.

Once you have delete the key, you need to restart it and the changes will take in effect. Now your browsing speed should run faster
