Speed up Network Browsing in Windows 2000 & XP

 

Here's a tip for speeding up Internet and LAN browsing on Windows 2000 and XP

machines.

 

When browsing network resources, Windows 2000/XP will try to find

shared printers and scheduled tasks on the computer you try to connect to.

 

This introduces a delay. To stop this behaviour do the following.

 

Open regedit.exe from Start->Run

 

Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Current

Version/Explorer/RemoteComputer/NameSpace

[note: line break inserted so line will fit]

 

Delete the Sub-Key with (Default) string value set to "Printers"

{2227A280-3AEA-1069-A2DE-08002B30309D}

 

Delete the Sub-Key with (Default) string value set to "Scheduled Tasks"

{D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF}

 

Note: You may experience a delay if that system has a printer shared.
