  1. Any file explorer slows down my internet connection


    I have the problem written in the title. I can't explain really what's happening with it but I have tried Total Commander and the default File Explorer but both of them when they load up and even when they are opened slow down my internet connection horribly. This really frustrates me and I have just reinstalled windows before this problem like 2-3 weeks before it started happening.

    Thank you for your patience and for your help in advance.

    :)

    Microsoft Internet Explorer renamed to Windows Internet Explorer ?

    Since version 7 of the world`s most popular web browser - Microsoft Internet Explorer was silently renamed to Windows Internet Explorer.Such a step from Microsoft is not a surprise since Internet Explorer is part of the Windows operation system for a long time.Obviously Microsoft corp. wants to state that Internet Explorer is already considered as a part of Windows and not as an external browser (remember the IE and WMP law issues last year!?).
