How to regain bandwidth reserved for XP .. ?

[nessyguin]

Hi , I am given to believe that XP automatically reserves 20% of your
bandwidth and I am looking for a way to regain this ... I found a fix
for
XP Pro but unfortunately it doesnt work for XP Home edition . The XP
Pro 'fix' follows in the hope that it helps some of you guys . Does
anyone know of a third-party application that will do the job for XP
Home ? Any help would be greatly appreciated !

1.Log on as "Administrator".
2. Click Start>>Run and type: gpedit.msc and hit Enter
3. Expand the "Local Computer Policy" branch
4. Then expand the "Administrative Templates" branch
5. Expand the "Network" branch
6. Highlight the "QoS Packet Scheduler" in left pane.
7. In the right window pane double-click the "Limit Reservable
Bandwidth" setting
8. On the settings tab check the "Enabled" item
9. Change "Bandwidth limit %" to read 0
10. Then go to your Network connections Start>Control Panel>Network
Connections>>right click on "local area connection" (or on your
connection) and select "Properties". Then under the General or the
Networking tab,
(where it lists your protocols) make sure QoS packet scheduler is
enabled. With most machines, doing steps 1 - 9 will enable the QoS
packet scheduler. Step 10 is only to make sure.

TIA

Uninstall QoS in the Network Protocols.
And it's still pretty much only a myth - only affecting your bandwidth when
getting patches once a month and in the background.
