• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

An unofficial Tweak UI for Vista : Ultimate Windows Tweaker

The Ultimate Extras embarrassment has been quite an issue since the launch of Vista, and while things have gotten better, many users still crave one thing: power toys, just like Windows XP has. The most popular power toy is undoubtedly Tweak UI, and while Microsoft still has not responded to the tweaking community's cry for such an application for Vista, MVP Ramesh Kumar has heard it and has reacted. Ultimate Windows Tweaker may not be an official Tweak UI for Vista, but it's free and it's likely the closest we're going to get:

The standalone 368 KB program contains over 130 tweaks, organized into seven categories: Personalization, User Accounts & UAC, System & Performance, Security, Internet Explorer, Network Optimization, and Additional Options. Each tab has a "Create a System Restore Point" button, and as an avid tweaker who has never had a problem due to a tweak, I still recommend that you do so, just in case. The tweaks are mostly self-explanatory, but unfortunately they don't have much documentation beyond just their names. This is still version 1.0, so hopefully we'll see an improvement in that area soon enough, along with additional tweaks!
