You do not have to show me but check analyzer here at SG to make sure RWIN is in, you will see number right after (RWIN) on analyzer
At bottom click save to registry, and REBOOT each time you change value in adjuster or it will not work. Click on tools at top of IE, internet options, delete files and offline files (This is safe, temp files) and click on clear history after EVERY test . Quick speed test here (http://speedtest.umnet.umich.edu/)
Speedtest may open another browser, so check taskbar and close other, no other programs should be running, No AIM, ICQ, Virus scanner, Firewall, nothing
Once you find fast number for you, you want to save it, on file at top of adjuster click on that, save custom settings, put RWIN size in as name and click on save, now if you ever want these settins back, click on file, open custom settings file, and click on RWIN number, then click on save to registry at bottom, and REBOOT, your done. How to do real dowwnload test on help thread below in signature. This is all I recommend, if anyone else jumps in with something else, good luck, but it did not come from me

Tweaks for Windows XP
1.) Turn off System restore and auto updates. If you keep registry backed up you do not need System Restore.

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

Auto Logon to a Windows NT/2000 Machine (Windows NT/2000) Updated Popular
Category: Enhancements > Windows NT, 2000 & XP
Windows NT/2000 includes a feature that allows you to automatically logon to the machine and network, bypassing the Winlogon dialog box.
To enable this function you need to add several new values to the key below.
Add a new string value named 'DefaultUserName' and set it to the username you wish to automatically logon as.
Add a new string value named 'DefaultPassword' and set this to the password for the user entered above.
Add a new string value named 'DefaultDomainName' and set this to the domain of the user. Ignore this value if the NT box is not participating in NT Domain security.
Add a new string value named 'AutoAdminLogon' and set it to either '1' to enable auto logon or '0' to disable it.
For Windows 2000 the additional ForceAutoLogon setting must be enabled to stop the tweak from resetting on reboot.
Exit and restart, Windows should not ask for a password and automatically show the desktop of the user.
