Trick to speed up Internet in Windows

[Trick] Speed Up Internet 20% Faster by Disabling Reserved Bandwidth [All Windows Versions]

 

In all versions of Microsoft Windows, they reserve 20% of your total available bandwidth for their own purposes like Windows Updates and interrogating your PC etc.
But you can remove the hold and can get that reserve area back to enjoy full bandwidth and speed of your internet connection. However this is not recommended to disable this feature but users with slow internet connection who never use Windows Updates feature can disable the reserve bandwidth easily.
This works on all version of Microsoft Windows:
Click Start then Run and type “gpedit.msc” without quotes. This opens the Local group policy editor.
From left navigation pane, go to:
Local Computer Policy –> Computer Configuration –> Administrative Templates –> Network –> QOS Packet Scheduler –> Limit Reservable Bandwidth.
From the right window page, double click on Limit Reservable bandwidth.



It will say it is not configured, but the truth is the Packet Scheduler still reserves the 20% of the total bandwidth.
But you can use this setting to override the default.

So the trick is to ENABLE Reservable bandwidth. As soon as you set it to Enable,  you’ll notice the bandwidth is already set to 20 by default, just set it to ZERO and apply the settings.

This will allow the system to reserve nothing, and gives your applications 100% bandwidth.

 

Free Utility to Reveal Passwords Behind those Asteriks

Many programs and web sites that remember our passwords are pretty handy. We just click OK or Login button ignoring the password fields showing the asterisks (****) covering the password. But what happens if we forget that password and need it again for something. We either didn’t write it down or forgot where it was written or saved somewhere else. That’s where Password Spectator comes in.
Password Spectator is a popular password revealer that is FREE and extremely easy to use. It has simple interface where you have to float your mouse to the password box, hold the Control key and press the secondary mouse button to display your password in a separate window – That’s it!
The program works for all Windows-based password dialogs, but not so successful in web forms. But still it’s way more better than other freeware password revealing applications out there.
To view a password:
1. Open the window containing the password you want to read.
2. Press and hold down the Ctrl key.
3. Move the mouse pointer to this password and press the left mouse button.
You can settle it down in system tray where it quietly waits for a press of Ctrl key + Left Mouse Click
