Speed up your browsing of Windows 2000 & XP machines

Using this tip you can speed up your browsing of Windows XP machines. It actually fixes a bug installed as default in Windows 2000 that scans shared files for Scheduled Tasks and saves you as much as 30 seconds when you try to view shared files across a network.
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.
