Basically, I never touch registry as it's quite unsafe sometimes....
This looks like it might be a good idea, but I will have to do some research and try to find out more before I implement your advice. As visor says, it can be dangerous to mess with the registry
Yep this really works, Im running IE and it changed up the speed. Thanks mate!
