This tip works on ALL Windows 95/98/ME and NT4/2000 systems with MS Internet Explorer 4/5/6 installed.
This Registry tip speeds up internet/remote (using Windows Explorer and/or Internet Explorer) browsing process considerably on most MS Windows 32-bit machines connected to a network and/or remote computer(s).
This actually fixes a BUG in MS Windows OSes that scan shared (remote) folders/files across the network for Scheduled Tasks, and can add a delay as long as 30 seconds (!), because it uses extra time to search the remote computer(s).
To do this, open Regedit (Win95/98/ME) or Regedt32 (WinNT4/2000) and go to:


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RemoteComputer\NameSpace

Highlight this value:

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

Delete it: right-click on it -> select Delete -> click OK.Remove Dummy Installed Files in your Add/Remove Programs:Sometimes, even after program are uninstalled, or due to the files being deleted instead of a uninstalled, the entry in the Add/Remove Programs list does not get deleted. To remove it form the list:
1. Start the Registry Editor (Run > regedit.exe).
2. Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows \CurrentVersion\Uninstall.

for more you can modify the connectin settings

For connection settings you need to modify or create if it doesn't exist. Two values in the registry.
  • go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ Software\ Microsoft\ Windows\ CurrentVersion\ Internet Settings
  • check this two DWORD values
    • MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server
    • MaxConnectionsPerServer
  • change their values to 0000010 and 00000010 respectively.
