Windows slow issues
Slow Computer Browsing Issue SYMPTOMS: If you have a multihomed or multiple-transport computer, the browse process can be slow. This behavior can occur because of the following scenario: If the browser client is trying to locate a browser server on each network card or transport, it waits until it either one receives valid information or times out on each endpoint before returning. RESOLUTIONS: 1) Use fewer protocols or network cards on a computer. 2) Disable NetBIOS on the interfaces that client will not use. 3) Having a browser server available on all endpoints will speed up the process. 4) Stop Master browser on W2K/XP clients by using net stop browser. 5) Ensure that WINS is available for TCP\IP networks or enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP.

Speed Up Your Computer With A Registry Change
In my last post, I talked about one way in which you can speed up computer performance by disabling the User Account Control warning messages found in Windows Vista and Windows XP. The change to the registry setting doesn’t speed up the processor in any way, but instead eliminates delays and interruptions. On the negative side, disabling the messages leaves you open to engaging in actions that are possibly dangerous to your computer.
Today, I have another registry change that will speed up your computer by eliminating a delay. Once again, I don’t advocate editing the registry if you’re a complete novice when it comes to using a computer. Editing the registry is highly effective at changing the behavior of your computer, but it makes the changes you ask for immediately, and there’s no way to “undo” what you’ve done short of restoring an unchanged copy of your registry.
