Control Network Browser Elections (Windows NT/2000/XP) Popular
A browser election is a normal network occurrence and provides a means to guarantee there is never more than one master browser present in a domain or workgroup.
Increase Network Performance and Throughput (Windows NT/2000) Popular
If you increase the number of buffers that the redirector reserves for network performance, it may increase your network throughput. Each extra execution thread that you configure will take 1k of additional nonpaged pool memory, but only if your applications actually use them.
Define the Slow Link Time-Out (Windows NT/2000)
Windows uses this value to define what should be classified as low speed and what is a high speed connection. The default time-out is 2000 milliseconds, any connection slower is considered a low speed link.
Automatically Detect Slow Network Connections (Windows NT/2000)
Windows will normally attempt to detect the time-out on network links to determine their speed (high or low). This functionality can be disabled if Windows is having problems determining the speed of your link.
Specifying a Preferred Netware Server (Windows 95/98/Me)
This setting allows you to specify a default Netware.
Removing or Adding Items to Your Persistent Connections List (All Versions)
Windows stores the names of previously mapped drives in the registry, this can be a security threat if vulnerable hidden shares are listed. An advantage is that this key can also be used to set default items for list, if for example inexperienced users were required to map common drives, you could store them here.
Manage the Domain Controller Cannot Be Reached Message (Windows NT/2000/XP)
When Windows is unable to contact a domain controller during a users login a popup error message may be displayed, this message can be controlled by modifying this setting.
Changes the IRP Stack Size (Windows NT)
When you access shares on a computer running Windows NT Server from a Windows NT client and the IRPstackSize parameter is set too low on the server, you may receive the following error message: "Not enough server storage is available to process this command." This tweak should resolve the problem.
Remove the Hand Icon for Shared Resources (All Versions)
Normally when you share a local resource on the network a hand icon is placed under the item to show it is shared. With this tweak you can remove the icon.
Increase the Speed of Browsing Remote Computers (Windows 2000/XP) Popular
When you browse a Windows 9x/Me machine from a Windows 2000/XP computer extra time is taken to determine if scheduled tasks are enabled on the destination computer.
Specify the Schedule for Alerter Service (Windows NT/2000/XP)
This setting is used to specify how often the server checks alert conditions and sends any required alert messages to administrative users.
Specify Users to Receive Administrative Alerts (Windows NT/2000/XP)
This setting is used to specify a list of users and/or computers that should receive administrative alerts.
Disable Mapped Drive Reconnect Warning (Windows 95/98/Me)
This setting is used to disable the mapped drive reconnect warning shown at startup when a network drive is unavailable.
Load Balance Network Adapters (Windows NT/2000/XP)
If you have two or more network cards in your system this setting allows you to distribute the number of connections, or sessions among the adapters according to a randomizing algorithm.
Enable the Network Adapter Onboard Processor (Windows 2000/XP) Popular
If your network adapter has an onboard processor, designed to offload network processing from the system CPU, it is disabled by default. This setting allows you to enable it and increase the processing speed of your system.
Limit Bandwidth with the QoS Packet Scheduler Service (Windows 2000)
This setting allows you to specify combined percentage of Quality of Service traffic through a specific adapater.
