Here's a great tip to speed up your browsing of Windows XP machines.
Its actually a fix to a bug installed as default in Windows 2000 that
scans shared files for Scheduled Tasks. And it turns out that you can
experience a delay as long as 30 seconds when you try to view shared
files across a network because Windows 2000 is using the extra time to
search the remote computer for any Scheduled Tasks. Note that though
the fix is originally intended for only those affected, Windows 2000
users will experience that the actual browsing speed of both the
Internet & Windows Explorers improve significantly after applying it
since it doesn't search for Scheduled Tasks anymore. Here's how :

Open up the Registry and go to :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Current
Version/Explorer/RemoteComputer/NameSpace

Under that branch, select the key :

{D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF}

and delete it.

This is key that instructs Windows to search for Scheduled Tasks. If
you like you may want to export the exact branch so that you can
restore the key if necessary.

This fix is so effective that it doesn't require a reboot and you can
almost immediately determine yourself how much it speeds up your
browsing processes.
