QoS Packet Scheduler - this item is of no use in most home environments.
File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks - if you have not shared files or printers in network - disable it.
Also you can add some network speed using WinTools.net tweaks.
Run WinTools.net.
Go to Net Tweak tool.
Press Use optimum settings for a selected configuration.
Select suitable importance for your connection, for example: LAN, Cable Modem, xDSL, ISDN, T1, etc.
And press Apply button.

Note: You can restore your network setting using the option of MS Windows default Internet and Network configuration.
