Two Speed Up Tips and Tricks for Windows XP
1. Speed Up Menu Display
When using the start menu or menu bar you will notice a delay between different tiers of the menu hierarchy. For the fastest computer experience possible I recommend changing the menu value to zero.
Go to START and type “regedit“ without quotes.
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop.
Select MenuShowDelay from the list. The initial value should be 400. Change value data to 0 (zero).
Reboot your computer and test how fast will appear your menu.
2. Speed Up Your Bandwidth by 20%
Microsoft reserve 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes, such as Windows Updates and interrogating your machine etc.
Go to START and type “gpedit.msc“ without quotes.
Navigate to Local Computer Policy\Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Network\QoS Packet Scheduler.
Select Limit reservable bandwidth and by default is not configured. Select Enabled and set the Bandwidth limit to 0% (zero).
Please note that 20% is a small number.

The articles on the sites are really helpful for people who are still in the novice stage of computer.I really appreciate how much the articles have helped us.
Thank you.
These Tweaks have become obsolete. If you still want to learn all in one pack, Try Winguides Registry Guide. To Download it Try Google and type the name. You will get several links on that.
I think these tweaks are good because you do a modification manually and you know what you do, while these programs deletes automatically what they think is not used and broken.
