When you browse a Windows 95, 98 or Me machine from a Windows 2000 or XP computer extra time is taken to determine if any scheduled tasks or printers are enabled on the destination computer.

Open your registry and find the key below.

To disable checking for scheduled tasks delete the {D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF} sub-key.

To disable checking for printers delete the {2227A280-3AEA-1069-A2DE-08002B30309D} sub-key.

The change should take effect immediately.

Settings:

System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\
RemoteComputer\NameSpace]
