Use TweakUI or manually -

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

Unless you're in an area where the newest "business class" is available, it doesn't get any better than that.

I WILL quote to make sure nothing is taken out of context.

I dont understand how compressing a file would make it take longer to recieve and send. For example, say that you have point A and B. The more you have to carry from point A to B will take you longer due to added weight. So, the less you ...

Compression is always viable in SLOW ...

Why do you care?
Isn't that why you bought the ram anyway, to be used?
It does little good just sitting there doing nothing.

I guess the answer you're looking for is "yes".

In your case the theory is right, and the problem is the router.
Basicly, you have a low end (can't help the price you paid) router designed for the home and small office.
If you want your server to work preally like it should, you need 2 things, a ...

recommendation -
System.ini is for 16 bit apps and programs, not for 32 bit.
Forget about using it in any NT OS or WinME.
It's just not needed unless you are trying to run some leftover legacy software you absolutely have to have or under very special circumstances.

Something everyone must understand.....

You can do all these setting changes and more, IF you simply take the time to actually learn about the OSs you are fooling with, instead of buying (or stealing) apps willy-nilly.

Many of these settings changed, are meaningless to performance, or will ...

The ISP only says you can achieve "up to" because your individual PC is what limits your speed in 99.8% of the cases.
Tke ISP has no control over your PC (thank you for the privacy) or it's setup and tuning.

If you will assign IRQs in the bios, Win2k and XP will respect that, and not share. None of the 5 PCs here have ACPI disabled, all are set as PnP OS in the bios, all are dual cpu units and none share IRQs in Win2k or XP (except those in shared PCI slots and those are assigned different ...

Load Balancing is a feature of Advanced Server or Datacenter Server only, not Server or Pro.

Load Balancing is NOT combining for increased throughput, it is balancing the workload/demand across servers, hence the reason it's not part of Server or lower levels of the OS.

Just so newer users know and don't get confused, Partition Magic or Partition Magic Pro are ONLY needed to change cluster size on an already formatted (FAT based) disk WITHOUT losing any data. :D

Actually JeffL that's not quite right.

Fat32 supports up to 2 terabyte.
And Fat32x (which is what is in WinMe, Win2k and WinXP use) supports up to 8 terabyte.
(And NTFS up to 16 terabyte)
Yes, that is tera as in 1000gigabytes.

WinXP (and any NT based OS) can read and and write to either of these ...

Sorry, but the problem has nothing to do with either the OS or type of RamDrive.
(And I fully agree paying for a RamDrive is ridiculous, at best)

When downloading, files are temporarily held in a cache untill the file is complete.
That cache is your "Temporary Internet Files" folder.

CurrentControllset is what is being used currently.
The 001 and 002 sets are what was used the last and time before last (successful) boots respectively.

Lobo, if you don't know, it really is all right to say so or not answer.
I doubt it will affect your post count enough to matter.

Drag & drop, same as always.

I don't see him saying he has a USB cable modem or USB network connection?

You aren't honestly trying to say that USB has anything to do with network bandwidth and browsing the 'net on PCs that do not have USB modems or USB network connections?.

This is all old news, and wrong also.

The Win9x OS can/always has been able to physically address AND USE up to 4gig of memory.

The ONLY requirement to use over 512meg of memory is that the line "maxfilecache=524288" be included in the [VCache] section of the system.ini file, to stop file name ...

Contrary to what a lot of people think the registry is dynamic, not static.
