1. Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit enter. Scroll down and look for the following entries:

2. Alter the entries as follows:

Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"

Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"

set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This means it will make 30 requests at once.

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.

When using the start menu the you will notice a delay between different tiers of the menu hierarchy. For the fastest computer experience possible I recommend changing this value to zero. This will allow the different tiers to appear instantly. Start Regedit(Go to run and type "regedit" and press return ). Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\DesktopSelect MenuShowDelay from the list on the right.

Right on it and select Modify.

Change the value to 0.

Reboot your computer

Select the Tools from the menu bar.

Then select Internet Options... from the drop down menu.

Once the internet options has loaded click on the general tab.

Under the temporary internet files section click the settings button.

A settings window will load. Slide the slider all the way to the left so the size indicated in the text box on the right is one.

Click OK

Click Ok
