Increase your Bandwidth by 20%

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Windows uses 20% of your bandwidth! Get it back

A nice little tweak for XP. M*crosoft reserve 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes (suspect for updates and interrogating your machine etc..)

Here's how to get it back:

Click Start-->Run-->type "gpedit.msc" without the "

This opens the group policy editor. Then go to:

Local Computer Policy-->Computer Configuration-->Administrative Templates-->Network-->QOS Packet Scheduler-->Limit Reservable Bandwidth

Double click on Limit Reservable bandwidth. It will say it is not configured, but the truth is under the 'Explain' tab :

"By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection, but you can use this setting to override the default."

So the trick is to ENABLE reservable bandwidth, then set it to ZERO. This will allow the system to reserve nothing, rather than the default 20%.
works on XP Pro, and 2000
other OS not tested.

    if u getting any errors when u try to open Microsoft Management Console here the solution ....

    i got that error too...

    When you try to open a Microsoft Management Console snap-in that involves security policies (such as Local Security Policy, Group Policy, or Domain Security Policy), the console may not open, and you may receive an error message similar to one of the following error messages:
    Error message 1

    Snap-in failed to initialize.
    Name: Group Policy
    CLSID: {8FC0B734-A0E1-11D1-A7D3-0000F87571-E3}
    Error message 2

    Snap-in failed to initialize.
    Name: Resultant Set of Policy
    CLSID:{6DC3804B-7212-458D-ADB0-9A07E2AE1FA2}
    Error message 3

    Snap-in failed to initialize.
    Name: Software Installation (Computers)
    CLSID:{942A8E4F-A261-11D1-A760-00C04FB9603F}
    Error message 4

    Snap-in failed to initialize.
    Name: <unknown>
    CLSID:{8FC0B734-A0E1-11D1-A7D3-0000F87571E3}
    Solution

    To resolve this behavior, add the %SystemRoot%\System32\WBEM folder to your PATH environment variable. To do so, follow these steps:
    1. Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
    2. On the Advanced tab, click Environment Variables.
    3. Under System Variables double-click the PATH environment variable.
    4. Type: %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\system32\WBEM
      Note If other system variables appear, do not remove them.
    5. Click OK, and then click OK.
