Now when I add these here

DnsPriority - 03 00 00 00
HostsPriority - 02 00 00 00
LocalPriority - 01 00 00 00
NetbtPriority - 04 00 00 00

Are these the only added things that get added after 0000 on each?

It is funny how it was working and after I delete the hexi-decimal values that are there my Cursor may be on the left or right of the box.
So if it is on the left I can add the hexi-decimal values and I only see what you say to add.
But if the curor is on the right when I type out the hexi-decimal values more gets added.
I never edit anything that adds other things then what you typed before.

That's the way they should look after 0000.

Something that might be of some use as far as web browsing goes is to use firefox, then use a little program for it called Firetune. It'll tweak some settings based on computer speed combined with internet connection speed. I know it's not what you were looking for, and it might not even apply here, but I noticed a nice increase in performance with firefox using this little program. If anyone has any interest, you can get it HERE

I think anyone who uses firefox should have this. To get an idea how well it works, download the Fasterfox extension to see page load times, load a page a few times clearing the cache in between, the setup Firetune and see if it improves on the load times.

Again, I know it wasn't what you were looking for, but I hope someone gets some use out of this. Have a good one..

Thanks flavallee.

I just did not want to do this wrong because the other way added a lot more as I typed things out so I did not think that was right.

No Problem, Hewee. Windows 98 and ME show the registry settings differently than Windows XP does, so it can get confusing to some people.

Yea and really confusing when it adds thing you are not typing out and it works one way when the cursor is on the left side and another way when the cursor is on the right.
Just deleting it is not so easy because if you highlight it and hit a key the cursor moves to the right side. But it you place the cursor there and use the back space it deleted it but then the cursor is on the left side. Then when I type it only ads what I type. Even then it was adding things on it's own but it was only showing what it should. He hee makes me feel like I was going crazy and I am only using 98.
Go and do a edit without saving it and your see what I mean.

Well I got the new setting made yesterday flavallee and it all worked out ok.
Don't know if it helped anything as it seem to be the same as before.
I know your cablenut and other things you said to do did helped out a lot.

Thanks so much for your help flavallee

Thanks flavallee. Guess not all changes are big speed jumps. But then again a lot of them were nice jumps in speed. Then seeing how there were so many things I did here in this thread and other things not even posted here that who knows now just what all is ready doing what.
Just wish there was one easy way to have all the installs and changes so if you ever do a new install of windows you don't have to go tru it all again.
I have another 98 drive I can change out but I have not done anything on it but the speed test are a lot slower so I know the changes on this drive work.

Hewee:

Every time I format a hard drive and do a fresh install of Windows, I need to install Cablenut and enter all its settings, then make all the necessary setting changes and additions in the registry. It's time-consuming, but there's no easy way of doing it.

Yea I know it is not easy because of all the other tweak installs etc that have to be done.
I forget all I did now because I did the first tweaks, installs back 5 or 6 months ago and then again with the changes in this thread.
