Speed Up Internet Explorer 7

When you connect to any website you also connect to a group of web servers. One might be an ad server, another a graphics server and so forth. Once a particular connection is granted its request, it is used for another task such as downloading audio, video, etc.

By default, Internet Explorer 7 is only able to open two to four connections at a time, however if you use a broadband connection and use tabbed browsing then we have a top tweak that will speed up IE 7 significantly. First up, open Notepad and type in the following text :

Windows Regisrtry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]
“MaxConnectionsPerServer”=dword:00000010
“MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server”=dword:0000010

Save this file as Quickweb.reg on your desktop. Next, double-click the file. You’ll now see a message requesting confirmation to add the file to the Windows Registry. Hit Yes and you’re good to go.

She extended the invitation during a meeting at the ‘Government Leaders Forum Arabia’ held in Abu Dhabi, UAE last week. Al Jaber invited Gates to visit and mobilize the company’s resources to help with Qatar’s e-Health programme.

Al Jaber requested Gates to engage ictQATAR and its e-Health partners, the National Health Authority (NHA) and Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC), to work towards better integrated and secure information systems for the healthcare sector here.

Al Jaber said: “ictQATAR, the NHA and HMC recognise that information and communication technologies helps transform patient care by creating an environment where clinicians and patients can access medical information easily and quickly.”

Al Jaber and Gates discussed ictQATAR’s and Microsoft’s current collaboration on e-Education projects. Gates said education will continue to be a key focus area for Microsoft and highlighted ongoing investment in the company’s Connected Education Framework. Microsoft officials based here said Gates intends to visit Qatar soon to explore other opportunities for cooperation with ictQATAR and other government agencies.
