INTERNET EXPLORER Speed up
STARTUP .
Isn't it annoying when you
want to go to a new website, or
any other site but your
homepage, and you have to
wait for your 'home' to load?
This tweak tells Internet
Explorer to simply 'run', without
loading any webpages. (If you
use a 'blank' page, that is still a
page, and slows access. Notice
the 'about:blank' in the address
bar. The blank html page must
still be loaded..). To load IE with
'nothing' [nothing is different
than blank]:
1. Right-click on any shortcut
you have to IE
[You should create a shortcut
out of your desktop IE icon, and
delete the original icon]
2. Click Properties
3. Add ' -nohome' [with a space
before the dash] after the
endquotes in the Target field.
4. Click OK
Fire up IE from your modified
shortcut, and be amazed by how
fast you are able to use IE!
~ cheers ~ (it works)
INTERNET EXPLORER SPEED UP.
Edit your link to start Internet
Explorer to have -nohome after
it. For Example: "C:\Program Files
\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE"
-nohome
This will load internet explorer
very fast because it does not
load a webpage while it is
loading. If you want to go to
your homepage after it is
loaded, just click on the home
button.
or
Open registry editor by going to
Start then >> Run and entering
>> regedit.
Once in registry, navigate to
key.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software
\microsoft\Windows
\CurrentVersion
\InternetSettings. Right click @
windows right > New > DWORD.
Type MaxConnectionsPerServer
> You can set value (the more
higher the no, the more good
speed u get, e;g : 99). [99 in
hexa so 153 in binary]
Create another DWORD >type
MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server.
Then put a high value as
mentioned above.
Restart I.E and you are done.
SPEED UP BROWSING WITH DNS
trick.!!
when you connect to a web site
your computer sends
information back and forth, this
is obvious. Some of this
information deals with resolving
the site name to an IP address,
the stuff that tcp/ip really deals
with, not words. This is DNS
information and is used so that
you will not need to ask for the
site location each and every
time you visit the site. Although
WinXP and win2000 has a
pretty efficient DNS cache, you
can increase its overall
performance by increasing its
size. You can do this with the
registry entries below:
Windows Registry Editor
Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM
\CurrentControlSet\Services
\Dnscache\Parameters]
"CacheHashTableBucketSize"=
dword:00000001
"CacheHashTableSize"=dword:
00000180
"MaxCacheEntryTtlLimit"=dword:
0000fa00
"MaxSOACacheEntryTtlLimit"=
dword:0000012d
make a new text file and
rename it to dnscache.reg. Then
copy and paste the above into it
and save it. Then merge it into
the registry.
START Internet EXPLORER WITH
EMPTY BLUE SCREEN.!!
Set your default page to
about:mozilla and IE will show a
nice blue screen upon startup.
FIX IE 6 SLOWDOWNS AND HANGS.
1. Open a command prompt
window on the desktop (Start/
Run/command).
2. Exit IE and Windows Explorer
(iexplore.exe and explorer.exe,
respectively, in Task Manager, i.e

4. Restart Windows Explorer
with Task Manager (Ctrl-Alt-Del/
Task Manager/Applications/New
Task/Browse/C:\Windows
\explorer.exe[or your path]) or
Shutdown/Restart the computer
from Task Manager.
SPEED UP WEB BROWSING.
Iv'e personally found a dramatic
increase in web browsing after
clearing the Windows XP DNS
cache. To clear it type the
following in a command prompt:
ipconfig /flushdns.

IPV6 INSTALLATION FOR
WINDOWS XP.
This protocol is distined to
replace the Internet Protocal
Version 4 used by Internet
Explorer it uses hexadecimal ip
addresses instead of decimal
example (decimal ip
62.98.231.67) (hexadecimal IP
2001:6b8:0:400::70c)
To install To install the IPv6
Protocol for Windows XP:
Log on to the computer running
Windows XP with a user
account that has local
administrator privileges. Open a
command prompt. From the
Windows XP desktop, click Start,
point to Programs, point to
Accessories, and then click
Command Prompt. At the
command prompt, type: ipv6

ANOTHER WAY TO FIX IEXPLORER
6 SLOW PAGES LOADED.
Here's an easier way to get to
index.dat file as addresse in
another tweak submitted here.
1. click on Internet Explorer
2. go to to your root dir (usually
C:)
3. open Documents and Settings
folder
4. open "your username folder"
5. open UserData
6. **close IE if you have it
open**
rename index.dat to index.old
logoff and log back on (don't
need to restart) open up IE and
go to a web page or site that
always seemed to load slowly. It
should load a lot more quickly
now. NOTE. Always rename or
backup .dat or other system files
before deleting.

do u want to save entire Page
For offline viweing??
Saving Web Pages with Internet
Explorer 6
Occasionally, you may want to
save an entire Web page on
your computer (text, hyperlinks,
graphics, and all). To save the
Web page that currently appears
in Internet Explorer, choose File--
>Save As to open the Save Web
Page dialog box shown in the
following figure. Select the
folder in which you want the
page saved and then click the
Save button.
After saving a Web page on
your hard drive, you can open it
in Internet Explorer and view
the contents even when you're
not connected to the Internet. If
your motive for saving the Web
page, however, is to be able to
view the content when you're
not connected to the Internet,
you're better off saving the
page as a Favorite marked for
offline viewing. That way, you
can decide whether you want to
view other pages linked to the
one you're saving and you can
have Internet Explorer check the
site for updated content.
You can also e-mail a Web page
or a link to the page to a
colleague or friend. To send the
current Web page in a new e-
mail message, click File-->Send--
>Page by E-mail on the Explorer
menu bar and then fill out the
new e-mail. To send a link to the
page instead, click File-->Send--
>Link by E-Mail. To create a
desktop shortcut to the Web
page, click File-->Send-->Shortcut
to Desktop.

Alternate trick
Before performing these steps
you need to test your
broadband speed
you can test your speed at
http://www.2wire.com/
The broadband connection
speed can be increased by
clearing the route from modem
to server. Number of packets
sent by modem to server should
be increased.Internet speed can
be increased by increasing more
number of incoming and
outgoing packets.The main
reason why your internet
connection is slow is because of
harmful virus.If your system is
infected with virus your
number of incomming packets
will be decreased.This leads to
your slower internet
speed.Internet speed can be
increased by by clearing the
route to the server.
This can be done by upgrading
costly sofwares and
hardwares.This will optimize
your system speed.And Increase
your system speed.Internet
tweak is the best software
which increases your system
speed for further
applications.Another software
Windows power tools which
makes windows faster and
increases your internet
speed.And decreases
downloading time.It optimizes
LAN,CABLE,DSN etc.Another
software "internet
cyclone"which increases your
internet speed from 64kbps to
120kbps.
This tip is designed for
increased BROADBAND speed in
Windows XP while using
standard Network Interface
cards (NIC) that are connected to
ADSL modems, or when using
any directly-connected USB ADSL
modem.
To speed up the Internet
connection speed we need to
configure a special buffer in the
computer's memory in order to
enable it to better deal with
interrupts made from the NIC or
the USB modem.
This tip is only recommended if
you have 256MB RAM or higher.
Step #1 - Identify the IRQ used
by the NIC/USB modem
1. Open the System Information
tool by running MSINFO32.EXE
from the Run command.
2. Expand System Summary >
Hardware Resources > IRQs.
3. Look for the listing made for
your NIC (in my case - a Intel®
PRO/100+ Management
Adapter). Note the IRQ next to
the specified line (in my case -
IRQ21).
In case of USB modems you will
first need to find the right USB
device used by your modem.
Follow these steps:
1. Open the Device Manager tool
by running DEVMGMT.MSC from
the Run command (or by right-
clicking My Computer >
Hardware tab > Device Manager
button).
2. Scroll down to Universal Serial
Bus controllers and expand it.
3. Right-click the USB Root Hub
and select Properties. Note that
you might need to do so for all
listed USB Root hubs (if there
are more than one) in order to
find the right one.
4. In the Power tab, look for
your USB ADSL modem.
5. In the Resources tab look for
the assigned IRQ (in this case -
IRQ21).
6. This is the IRQ we're looking
for.
Note: IRQs and modem names
might vary...
Step #2 - Modify the system.ini
file
1. Run SYSEDIT.EXE from the Run
command.
2. Expand the system.ini file
window.
3. Scroll down almost to the end
of the file till you find a line
called [386enh].
4. Press Enter to make one blank
line, and in that line type
IRQX=4096 where X is the
designated IRQ number we
found in step #1, in my case it's
IRQ21.
Note: This line IS CASE
SENSITIVE!!!
5. Click on the File menu, then
choose Save.
6. Close SYSEDIT and reboot your
computer.
Done. Speed improvement will
be noticed after the computer
reboots.
