How to Speed Up Bandwidth? Windows uses 20% of your bandwidth Here's how to Get it back A nice little tweak for XP. Microsoft reserve 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes (suspect for updates and interrogating your machine etc..) Here's how to get it back: Click Start ->Run -> type gpedit.msc This opens the group policy editor. Then go to: Local Computer Policy ->Computer Configuration ->Administrative Templates ->Network ->QOS Packet Scheduler ->Limit Reservable Bandwidth Double click on Limit Reservable bandwidth. It will say it is not configured, but the truth is under the ' Explain ' tab : "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%.

Here's how you do it... 1) open Internet Explorer and Go to TOOLS and then INTERNET OPTIONS. 2) Click the SECURITY tab, move the slider up to HIGH and click APPLY. This applies the highest security settings to IE, which blocks EVERYTHING, including JavaScript, Applets and so on that pop-ups are based upon. The catch is this... Some places like online banks and other web sites need these functions to work properly... So you'll need to re-enable one important thing.. 1) Go to TOOLS and then INTERNET OPTIONS. 2) Click the SECURITY tab, CUSTOM LEVEL, scroll down to SCRIPTING, and under ACTIVE SCRIPTING, select the ENABLE radio button. 3) Click APPLY and you're pretty much done.
