In the past I have used tools like TCP Optimizer and Dr. TCP to adjust MTU and window sizing, what I did notice is that using the "optimal" sliders it changes more registry values than what I am interested in.

On my current test laptop I have XP where I have already used TCP optimizer and would like to go back to out of the box TCP settings. If I reset the TCP/IP stack, will this edit my registry back to those out of the box settings?

WinSock and TCP/IP Refresh.

Type Cmd in the Start Search text box.

Press Ctrl-Shift-Enter keyboard shortcut to run a Command Prompt as an Administrator. Allow elevation.

Type netsh winsock reset in the Command Prompt , and then press the Enter key.

Do the same processes for refreshing the TCP/IP just replace the typed command with.

netsh int ip reset press Enter

ipconfig /flushdns press Enter

Restart your Computer.
