Increase network performance when playing media

Windows Vista throttles your network bandwidth when you are playing any multimedia file such as an MP3 or a video. This was designed to ensure the CPU has enough free cycles available to play your media without skipping. The down side is that when you are playing a multimedia file you will notice that your network speed of file transfers will decrease on high speed network connections. By default when you are playing a multimedia file your network transfers are limited to 10 packets per millisecond.

In Windows Vista SP1 Microsoft introduces a registry key that allows you to customize this setting.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Multimedia\SystemProfile]
NetworkThrottlingIndexValue

You can set NetworkThrottlingIndexValue between 1 and 70. If you want to disable set the hexadecimal value to FFFFFFFF.

Microsoft warns that if you increase the value above 10 you may experience playback quality issues. Depending on your network setup, it is worth experimenting.

After making any changes a restart is needed.

Increase max IE7 downloads

Internet Explorer 7 only allows you to download two files from the same server at a time. This is not a software limit but rather a limit imposed based on the web standard. Since this is simply a software setting, it can be modified and you can increase the limit to something much high such as 10. Follow the steps below to increase your max downloads from the same server:

1. Click on the Start Button and type in Regedit.
2. When Registry Editor loads navigate through HKEY_CURRENT_USER, Software, Microsoft, Windows, CurrentVersion and Internet Settings.
3. Right click on MaxConnectionsPerServer and select Modify. Set the decimal value to something greater than 2.
4. Right click on MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server and select Modify. Set the decimal value to something greater than 2.
5. Reboot.

Add "Open with Notepad" to right-click context men

Copy and paste the code below into Notepad. Then save it as a .reg file and import it by clicking on it.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Open with Notepad]
@=""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Open with Notepad\command]

How To Delete System Options from the Start menu

You can actually remove the Find and Run options from the start menu by performing a simple registry hack. Again like always Launch the registry editor and scroll down to the below key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
\Policies\Explorer
Right-click on the right pane and select New, DWORD Value. Name it NoFind.(To remove the RUN option name it NoRun). Double-click the newly create DWORD to edit it's value and enter 1 as its value. This will disable the FIND option of the Start Menu and will also disable the default Shortcut key(F3 for Find.) To restore the Run or find command modify the value of the DWORD to 0 or simply Delete the DWORD value.

Customizing the Right Click Context Menu of the Start Menu

When you right click on the start menu, only 3 options pop up:
Open, Explore, and Find. You can add your own programs to this pop up menu( which comes up when we right click on it.) Open Regedit and go to the following registry key:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\Shell

Right click on the shell and create a new Sub Key (You can create a new SubKey by right clicking on the Shell Key and selecting New > Key.). Type in the name of the application you want to add to the start menu. I want to add Notepad to the Start Menu and hence I name this new sub key, Notepad. Now right click on the new
registry key that you just created and create yet another new key named Command. Enter the full path of the application, in this case Notepad in the default value of Command in the right pane. So I Modify the value of the default string value and enter the full pathname of Notepad:

c:\wndows\notepad.exe.

Now press F5 to refresh. Now if you right click on the Start Button
you will find a new addition to the Pop Up Menu called Notepad.

Disabling Display of Drives in My Computer

To disable the display of local or networked drives when you click My
Computer go to : HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion

NoDrives. Now modify it's value and set it to 3FFFFFF (Hexadecimal)
Now press F5 to refresh. When you click on My Computer, no drives
will be shown. To enable display of drives in My Computer, simply
delete this DWORD item. It's .reg file is as follows:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersio

"NoDrives"=dword:03ffffff

How IPCONFIG Works

IPCONFIG is one of the most useful little utilities on your computer (for Windows systems), especially for helping you to debug network issues. IPCONFIG can be used to show your current TCP/IP information, including your address, DNS server addresses, adapter type and so on.

This is most useful if you are using DHCP (a method to automatically assign TCP/IP information needed by a computer). Since the TCP/IP information, including the address, is assigned when the computer is booted, it is not known until boot time. IPCONFIG will show that information at any time.

C:\>IPCONFIG/ALL

To use IPCONFIG, specify IPCONFIG at the CMD prompt. You can optionally follow the command with one or more of the following qualifiers.

/ALL
This causes all of the TCP/IP configuration information to be displayed for all adapters. These may include network and dial-up adapters.
/RENEW [adapter-name]
If your system is configured to use DHCP, then this qualifer will ask the DHCP server for new configuration information. Using the "adapter-name" option renews the DHCP for the specified adapter.
/RELEASE [adapter-name]
If your system uses DHCP, then this qualifier asks the DHCP server to release the DHCP configuration and discard the TCP/IP address. If "adapter-name" is included, then only the address for the specified adapter is discarded.
/FLUSHDNS
As DNS information is requested from the DNS servers, it is cached locally so that it does not have to be requested again. This qualifier deletes all of the information in that cache.
/DISPLAYDNS
This qualifier displays all of the information in the local DNS cache. This includes information from the HOSTS file and any recently obtained DNS entries.
/REGISTERDNS
Requests a manual dynamic registration for the DNS names and TCP/IP addresses that are configured at your computer. This can be used to troubleshoot a failed DNS name registration (by asking for it again).
/SHOWCLASSID adapter-name
Use this qualifier to show the DHCP class ID for the specified adapter. You can use the wildcard character (*) to show all adapters.
/SETCLASSID adapter-name [classid]
Sets the DHCP class id for a specified adapter. You can use the wildcard character (*) to set all adapters.

How To Share "File" Without ICS

Sharing, you must run the Network Setup Wizard and select the following option:
This computer connects to the Internet throughspan class="fullpost"> another computer on my network or through a residential gateway.
If your computer is directly connected to the Internet, re-run the Network Setup Wizard and select the following option:
This computer connects to the Internet directly or through a network hub.
Other computers on my network also connect to the Internet directly or through a hub.

-f Set Don't Fragment flag in packet

-i TTL Time To Live

-v TOS Type Of Service

-r count Record route for count hops

-s count Timestamp for count hops
