2. Speed Up Browsing When you connect to a web site your computer sends information back and forth. Some of this  information deals with resolving  the site name to an IP address, the stuff that TCP/IP really deals  with, not words. This is DNS  information and is used so that  you will not need to ask for the  site location each and every time  you visit the site. Although Windows XP and Windows XP  have a pretty efficient DNS  cache, you can increase its overall performance by increasing its size. You can do this with the registry entries below:

3>>Windows Registry Editor Version
5.00

Go to > Run> REGEDIT

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEM
CurrentControlSetServices
DnscacheParameters]
"CacheHashTableBucketSize"=dword:00000001"CacheHashTableSize"=dword:00000180"MaxCacheEntryTtlLimit"=dword:0000fa00"MaxSOACacheEntryTtlLimit"=dword:0000012dMake
a new text file and rename it to dnscache.reg. Then copy and paste the above into it and save it. Merge it into the  registry.DISABLE INDEXING  SERVICESIndexing Services is a  small little program that uses  large amounts of RAM and can often make a computer endlessly
loud and noisy. This system
process indexes and updates
lists of all the files that are on
your computer. It does this so
that when you do a search for something on your computer, it
will search faster by scanning
the index lists. If you don't
search your computer often, or
even if you do search often, this
system service is completely unnecessary.

1. Go to Start
2. Click Settings
3. Click Control Panel
4. Double-click Add/Remove
Programs 5. Click the Add/Remove Window
Components

FOLDER BROWSINGYou may have
noticed that everytime you open
my computer to browse folders
that there is a slight delay. This is because Windows XP
automatically searches for
network files and printers
everytime you open Windows
Explorer.

browsing significantly:


1. Open My Computer
2. Click on Tools menu
3. Click on Folder Options
4. Click on the View tab. 5. Uncheck the Automatically
search for network folders and
printers check box
6. Click Apply
7. Click Ok
8. Reboot your computer REMOVE THE DESKTOP PICTURE
desktop background consumes a
fair amount of memory and can
slow the loading time of your
system.

Removing it will improve
performance. 1. Right click on Desktop and
select Properties
2. Select the Desktop tab
3. In the Background window
select None
4. Click Ok

DISABLE UNNECESSARY SERVICES
Because Windows XP has to be all
things to all people it has many
services running that take up
system resources that you will
never need. Below is a list of services that can be disabled on
most machines:

CONFIRMATION MESSAGES
Although not strictly a
performance tweak I love this fix
as it makes my machine 'feel'
faster. I hate the annoying 'are you
sure?' messages that XP
displays, especially if I have to
use a laptop touchpad to close
them.

8>>To remove these messages:
1. Right-click on the 'Recycle Bin'
on the desktop and then click
'Properties'
2. Clear the 'Display Delete
Confirmation Dialog' check box and click 'Ok'If you do accidently
delete a file don't worry as all is
not lost. Just go to your Recycle
Bin and 'Restore' the file.
