One cannot copy Windows XP Pro system files and paste them in Windows XP Home Edition.
It simply will not work.
There have been claims in various published technical articles and newsgroup postings that
Windows XP always reserves 20 percent of the available bandwidth for QoS. These claims
are incorrect. The information in the "Clarification about QoS in End Computers That Are
Running Windows XP" section of this article correctly describes the behavior of Windows
XP systems.

| i'm running XP home edition (probably why i'm having this problem). i read that windows reserves 20% of
it's bandwith and i wanted to change that by running gpedit but aparently it's not there. my friend who's
running XP pro. said that it's in sysem32 and i looked and it's not there (stupid fricken home edition). so
we copied and pasted everything out of his system32 that started with gp and put it in mine and now it says
"snap-in creation failed" when i try to run it. any ideas? or other ways of changing that setting?
