Because you will need to test your connection when it is active, you will need to find something large to download that will run the duration of the test, which will be approximately 30 seconds. I recommend that you head over to www. For the test, you want a file big enough so it will be downloading throughout the whole test. Those of you on a dialup connection can pick a much smaller file than those on a high-speed connection. Once you have your download test file picked out, start the download and switch back to the Command Prompt window.
In that window, type tracert www. During the test, you will see many times displayed in milliseconds. After the test finishes, pick the highest time, as shown in Figure This is the number that you will use as your latency.
Also, feel free to cancel the download after the test is finished. Entering the latency value into CableNut. Now that you have the latency value calculated, you are ready to enter this information into a great online CableNut settings calculator written by Joe Zeiler, who is one of the talented moderators at the TweakXP. Open up your Web browser and visit www. Next, you will have to do a little research and find out exactly what your upload and download speeds should be for your Internet connection.
I had to contact Comcast, my ISP, to find out the exact values, because the values are not always advertised. After you hit the Compute Settings button, scroll down and you will see the values that were calculated. Now, you are almost done. Click that button and a new window will pop up with some text in it. Make sure that you have any pop-up blockers disabled when you are using the calculator. Use the mouse and select all of the text and numbers that are displayed in the pop-up window. Right-click the mouse and select copy to copy all of the text on the page to the clipboard.
Now open up Notepad from the Accessories folder. In the blank Notepad window, paste the contents of the clipboard by right-clicking the white background and selecting Paste. Once Notepad is displaying the information that you copied from the pop-up window, all that is left is to save the file in the CableNut format. To do this, click the File menu bar item and select Save As. Key in myCableNutSettings. Specify the Save location, such as the desktop, and click the Save button.
You are now finished with the calculations that will optimize your Internet connection. That wasn't too hard now, was it? It is this phase or process that the freeware utility Startup Delayer www. Startup Delayer is easy to install and setups quickly. After installation has completed, Startup Delayer will open, showing you a list of Programs that start when you logon.

When in Graphical Version mode, Startup Delayer will display showing the status of each Program as it is starting during the logon process. Next, double click on each Program and set the delay to the time you want to specify then click save. I like to start with three seconds for the first one and increment by three to five seconds for each Program until I'm finished.
Once you have made you settings, you are finished and ready for a faster logon time. Inthe future, as you install programs, open up Startup Delayer and and set the delay time for the new program. Next time you startup you will see Startup Delayer panel, showing you the status of each programs it is starting. Over time you can make adjustments to further decrease logon times. Now you may think by setting the order of how programs load, may seem like it will increase the time to logon.
This guide will show you how to shorten the time it takes for your desktop to appear when you turn your computer, and make it shut down faster as well.
Here are a few tips to get you right to your desktop as quickly as possible after startup. If you want XP to shutdown faster, you need to have less services running for it to shutdown. Disable any unneeded services. Clearing the page file can provide more security, but that comes at the expense of speed.
If you are more concerned with the shutdown speed, then you will want to disable this option in the registry.
