Stop Sharing Scheduled Tasks in Vista

Sharing Sheduled Tasks makes network browsing slower. The problem is that sharing Scheduled Tasks slows network browsing considerably. Follow these steps on every PC in your workgroup to stop sharing Scheduled Tasks and increase your network performance considerably.

1) Open the Registry Editor.

2) Expand the branches to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RemoteComputer\NameSpace.

3) Under the NameSpace key, you'll see at least two keys named for Class IDs. The (default) value inside each key will tell you what the key is for. Find the key for "Scheduled Tasks" (it will be {D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF}), and delete it.

4) Close the Registry Editor when you're done.

The change will take effect immediately, and you'll notice that Windows is now much more responsive when browsing shared folders.
