I have a computer running XP Pro. What are the tricks and tips to speed it up so that it has optimal performance and connection speed? What things should be unchecked and checked on the startup?
What things are required at startup and which are not?

i have downloaded INTERNET DOWNLOAD MANAGER the free trial version then after i have used it for a couple of times it expired then i have made a COMPLETE uninstallation
but i have noticed that the connection speed decreased significantly so how can i repair (restore) the changed registry configuration back to default ??
