Windows XP Professional tweaks???

[earthmofo]

Does anyone know how to tweak Windows XP Professional. I just got my copy and these are the settings:

TCP options string = 020405b401010402

MTU = 1500
MTU is fully optimized for broadband.

MSS = 1460
Maximum useful data in each packet = 1460, which is equal to MSS.

Default Receive Window (RWIN) = 64240
RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 0 bits
Unscaled Receive Window = 64240
RWIN is a multiple of MSS
Other values for RWIN that might work well with your current MTU/MSS:
513920 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 8)
256960 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 4)
128480 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 2)

bandwidth * delay product:
Your RcvWindow limits you to: 2569.6 kbps (321.2 KBytes/s) @ 200ms
Your RcvWindow limits you to: 1027.84 kbps (128.48 KBytes/s) @ 500ms

MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON

Time to live left = 115 hops
TTL value is ok.

Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF

Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON

IP type of service field (RFC1349)= 00000000

I read the Windows NT tweak section but it would seem the reg keys are elsewhere.

Thanks in advance

Disregard. Lobo got me on that one! ;)

Why would he want to do that Doc, he has Cablenuts RWIN in I quess, the only time you want scaling enabled is if RWIN is above 65535, lol


Tweaks for Windows XP

1.) Turn off System restore and auto updates.
2.) Use SG's System ini tweak set at 7168, type sysedit in run box, Close out of all boxes except System Ini, put it in 386th Enh, thats where it goes
3.) Go to control panel, system, advanced tab at top,performance, settings, click on best performance,then advanced tab at top, background services, then programs
4.) Disable IDE Port Scanning on empty ports and save bootup time.
Go to System Properties by right-clicking on My Computer or via the Control Panel.
Select the Hardware tab.
Look at the Device Manager section and click on the Device Manager button.
This brings up the Device Manager screen.
Open up the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers device branch. Then you will see a list of all the IDE controllers

and channels in your system.
Now, select any one of the IDE channels, right click and choose Properties. Or just double click on the

IDE channel.
Now, select the Advanced Settings tab to get the screen below. As you can see below,

the second port (Device 1) on the Primary IDE Channel does not any IDE device attached to it.

Thus, the Device Type is labeled as Auto Detection. In contrast, the first port has a device attached. That's why the Device Type is grayed out.
To disable IDE device scanning for the second port, click on Auto Detection and you will see

two choices on the list. Select None.
Click OK and reboot. Windows 2000 will now refrain from scanning that IDE port at start up and

should load a little faster
5.) Use Win 2000- patches for XP
6.) Yes Cablenuts adjuster works with XP
