Speed up your internet 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.

How did you like it.please comment.

Note:This trick works only for windows xp sp2 professional and

windows 2000 professional.It does not work on windows xp sp2 home

edition.
