I am looking to adjust my advance properties in windows 7.
I all ready have the windows 7 64bit professional version and unlocked the 20% in the group policy editor.
Still can't be leave Microsoft is still taking 20% of your full internet speed in windows.After 20 years.
I would like to adjust the advance properties for fast video buffering on the net.with a 16Mbps connection.http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/3463944145
I use firefox version 28 and with some ad blockers.

100% unsure of what you are asking here.What do you mean "Microsoft is still taking 20% of your full internet speed in windows" ?
From your speedtest image, you seem to be getting 16.6Mbps down speed. If this is on a 16Mbps plan, what is the issue?
Well the reason i said that is be cause in group policy editor microsoft has been taking 20% of your maximum speed for years with out people realizing it.
In local group policy editor if you look in the administrative templates/then network then look for Qos packet scheduler you will see Limit reservable bandwidth there will be 20% on reserve.You can enabled this and adjust this to 0% and get your max internet connection.
But the thing is i want the videos online to load faster with out buffering issues.This is way i asked this for firefox.
My browsing is 10times faster now with these normal adjustments and with my Speed & Dupplex adjusted to 100Mbps full duplex It does work wonders for just plain surfing.
But i would like to have a better buffering option for videos on the net.

It does not suck up 20% of your bandwidth.
Looking at a reasonably vanilla Windows 7 install - "Bandwidth limit (%): - 0"
From the Windows 7 MMC:
"Determines the percentage of connection bandwidth that the system can reserve. This value limits the combined bandwidth reservation of all programs on the system"
"By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20% of the bandwidth of a connection, but you can use this setting to override the default"
Read this:

It does not eat 20% of your bandwidth.
From my 50/25 FiOS line, I routinely get 53-56Mbps reported from speedtest.net.
From your 16Mbps line, you are getting 16.6Mbps. I fail to see the issue.

**FACEPAW** Give a monkey a hammer and it will hit itself in the head.
QoS can be removed in Local Area Connection Status > Properties if so inclined, but Microsoft isn't "taking away 20% of my Internet". QoS aka Quality of Service was implemented years ago to address the issue of different traffic types not being processed in a order that most consumers demand. So for example have email open and watching Youtube while your IM client is open, well your computer has no idea watching the video is most important, it just does 'First Come First Served' from ALL the traffic coming, and thus you get stutter, and drops on your Youtube. QoS, if enabled on the Router AND the PC, will optimize based on a criteria system, where Audio and Video gets preference over say IM and webpage text, so they process first.
So turning off your QoS is what is causing your videos to NOT be as fast as they are not 'preferred'. And by the way you CAN NOT get 100Mbps over the Internet unless your a major Corporation, normal Internet for consumers is between 1Mbps to 50Mbps, with SOME Cable companies now promoting 100Mbps, but they dont' GIVE you it, you have to SIGN UP for it. Messing with your Duplex was totally DUMB. Don't mess with it, all communications is normally FULL Duplex, no one has messed with Duplex since back in NetBios/IPX days (20 years ago) when TERMINALS were used that needed to run at HALF Duplex because they couldn't handle FULL Duplex amount of Data.
