Windows 7 MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server Increase the Number of Simultaneous
Downloads
Registry Tweak to Increase the Number of Simultaneous Downloads
Have you noticed a problem if you try to download more than two files at
once from the internet? This is because the default number of simultaneous downloads
from a web server is only two for IE 7 and six for IE8. By tweaking
the registry you can increase this number to ten.
MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server is a property of Internet Explorer, rather than
of Vista. Default values simultaneous downloads have increased in
later version of IE, thus in IE 7 the default is 2, whereas IE it's 6.
Do you find the MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server in HKCU** or HKLM?
Answer: HKLM (it was Current_User in Vista)
Should you add a value, or modify an existing setting? Answer: Create a new dword set the value = 0000000a
Is
MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server a String Value or a DWORD? Answer: DWORD.
Do you need to Restart, or merely Log Off / On?
Answer: As it's a HKLM, best restart.
Tip: Add this Value,
MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server to Regedit's Favorites menu
This maximum number of connections applies to any connection to a
web server, not just to downloads.
This limit of two connections is set by the HTTP 1.1 specification (RFC2068) rather than Microsoft.

I like the
Permissions Monitor because it enables me to see WHO has permissions
to do WHAT at a glance. When you launch this tool it analyzes a users effective NTFS
permissions for a specific file or folder, and takes into account network share
access, then displays the results in a nifty desktop dashboard!
Think of all the frustration that this free SolarWinds utility saves when you are
troubleshooting authorization problems for user's access to a resource.
Give this permissions monitor a try - it's free!
This page explains how to create, and then edit .reg files for your computer. As it's easy to import the contents of a .reg file into the registry, do take extra
care with procedures.

How to Turn-off the Annoying
ESC in IE10
The problem in Windows Server
2012 is that the Enhanced Security
Configuration prevents you from browsing webistes.
One solution would be to install Mozilla Firefox but my solution is to
disable the IE ESC.
