Increease your Internet tools by 20%

Microsoft reserves 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes
like Windows Updates and interrogating your PC etc
You can get it back:
Click Start then Run and type "gpedit.msc" without quotes.This opens the
group policy editor. Then go to:
Local Computer Policy
then Computer Configuration
then Administrative Templates then Network then QOS Packet Scheduler
and then to Limit Reservable Bandwidth.
Double click on Limit Reservable bandwidth. It will say it is not configured,
but the truth is under the 'Explain' tab i.e."By default, the Packet Scheduler
limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection, but you
can use this setting to override the default."
So the trick is to ENABLE reservable bandwidth, then set it to ZERO. This
will allow the system to reserve nothing, rather than the default 20%.It works
on Win 2000 as well.

Shutdown Faster

Start Regedit.
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM/CurrentControlSet/Control. Click on the

One of the coolest new features in Windows XP is its album thumbnail generator, which
automatically places the appropriate album cover art on the folder to which you are copying music
(generally in WMA format).But what about those people that have already copied their CDs to the
hard drive using MP3 format? You can download album cover art from sites such as cdnow.com
or amguide.com, and then use the new Windows XP folder customize feature to display the
proper image for each folder.But this takes time--you have to manually edit the folder properties
for every single folder--and you will lose customizations if you have to reinstall the OS. There's an
excellent fix,however.
When you download the album cover art from the Web, just save the images as folder.jpg each
time and place them in the appropriate folder. Then, Windows XP will automatically use that
image as the thumbnail for that folder and, best of all, will use that image in Windows Media
Player for Windows XP (MPXP) if you choose to display album cover art instead of a
visualization. And the folder customization is automatic, so it survives an OS reinstallation as
well. Your music folders never looked so good!
Album cover art makes music folder thumbnails look better than ever!Windows XP Tips, Small
