bryan.thebscp.com | Hack #1 | Fast Network Folders
Do you share folders on your home network? And do you use the My Network Places to view those folders? If you do, you probably have noticed a lag when you go to view those folders. When you go to open a folder on another PC, Windows checks the other PC’s scheduled tasks. Who knows why but it sure slows down the speed. Here is a registry hack to remove the task of checking the scheduled hack.

WARNING: Be careful while in the registry. If you should change the wrong option, you could prevent your PC from starting up. I suggest printing this out before proceeding.

1. To open the registry editor, click Start > Run. Once the prompt comes up type in regedit in the Open dialogue.
2. Open the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RemoteComputer\NameSpace
3. Delete this key: {D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF}
4. Close the Registry editor and reboot your machine.

Once your machine reboots, go to My Network Places and check how fast the folders will load. If you don’t see an increase in speed, your networking speeds are causing slow load times also.
