The patches tab also has no relevance
to this guide, but I recommend the
settings I have selected here.
• The “Maximum unfinished
simultaneous connections” option has
to do with a security fix Microsoft put
in place that limits unfinished TCP/IP
connections to 10. It can however
negatively affect P2P file sharing
performance.
• The “Unsigned Themes Support”
option patches a file that should never
have needed patching in the first
place. Microsoft implemented a
powerful theming engine in Windows
XP and then released a whopping 2
themes to date and locked everybody
else out. This patch allows user-
created themes to be used.
