QUALITY OF SERVICE( QoS) CAN EAT UP YOUR BANDHWIDTH

This won’t jump start your XP installation by many minutes but for sure it will make a difference in the long run. Windows XP has a User Tracking feature which keeps track of every activity of users and this data is available to the admin for use. This data is totally useless and hence it is always recommended to disable this service.

Browse to the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Policies \ Explorer

Now look for the DWORD value named NoInstrumentation and if it isn’t available then create it. You need to set this to 1 and hence all the user tracking will be disabled.

It will surely save some space and time of yours in the long run.

To open QoS you first need to open up Group Policy Editor.

• Click on Start button.
• Click on Run.
• Enter gpedit.msc in the Run dialog box.
• Now in the left pane you need to follow this path. Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Network > QoS Packet Scheduler.
• Once you reach here then in the right pane you will find Limit Reservable Bandwidth. Double Click on this and you will see a window.
• All you need to do is Enable the service and then set the Bandwidth Limit to 0%. Click Apply and then OK. Congrats! You now have 20% extra bandwidth for use.
