Like Firefox, Internet Explorer is very slow to load pages. There are various reasons for this: the number of simultaneous connections that IE makes with the server is limited and it also keeps searching for network shares and printers. Here are some registry tweaks to Speed up Internet Explorer and significantly improve your Internet browsing experience.
In the Registry editor, go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/
RemoteComputer/NameSpace/{D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF} and delete the key named Printers. That ought to do the trick.
For opening up to 16 simultaneous connections with the remote server, and hence pushing your speeds up considerably, you need to modify (or create, if they don’t exist) two values in the registry. Go to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\InternetSettings and check these two DWORD values:
MaxConnectionPer1_0Server and MaxConnectionsPerServer.
Change their values to 0000010 and 00000010 respectively. After doing the customary restart you will notice increase in browsing speeds.
Another way is to use Internet Cyclone that will optimize automatically and increases the internet speed.
all of your instructions were completely clear and able to be followed up to the point where you said “and delete the key named “Printers”. Why is that? See below:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/
RemoteComputer/NameSpace/{D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF} and delete the key named Printers. That ought to do the trick.
Do you think you could sort out the last few words so that they describe EXACTLY what to do and make it clearer for users to follow? I know it’s possible because up to “and delete the key named Printers” I WAS able to follow it.
Wow this is really a cool tip.. But I don’t use IE most of the time.. I prefer Firefox…
