How to replace Windows Explorer with Xplorer2

Published by Torsten 2

Let's face it: for advanced file manipulation, Windows File Explorer stinks. But like Firefox is a must-have replacement for Internet Explorer, a file manager called Xplorer2 blows Windows Explorer out of the water for anyone who browses multiple folders, copies, pastes, moves and searches the PC filesystem frequently.

Optimize XP - A Windows XP Optimization Guide v1.7.1

Published by [NT] 0

Optimize Windows XP to improve both work and gaming performance safely. Windows XP's default configuration is far from optimized. This guide will help you improve your overall system performance. I avoid using or recommending "all-in-one" Windows XP Tweak programs since many blindly adjust settings that have no affect on performance and can cause future problems. This guide is designed to be performed top to bottom, in sequence since some steps are required to be performed before others. Before using this guide make sure your system meets Microsoft's Official: Windows XP System Requirements

XPSP2 will limit your max. connections/sec *Part 2*

Published by [NT] 0

Hi.

I am the Anonymous who wrote the first article.

First of all, the "possible fix" from bink.nu is not working. Sorry guys.

I just received an email from the MS-guy. He told me that the limitation is implemented in the TCP/IP stack and you would need to rewrite the tcpip.sys to switch it off. So a simple registry mod won`t do it.

This doesn`t surprise me much cause it`s no deal for any worm to just modify the registry and spread around like before.

I just tried the tcpip.sys from XPSP1a but as you can think, it ended with WinXP refused to boot....

Sorry for the bad news but I think we have to see if it is still present in the final XPSP2.

I have the bad feeling it will be cause the first time i discovered this was in Build 20XX so they should have had enough time to realise the heavy slowdown of some programs (mainly P2P)...
