Best Windows 7 Tweaking Application: Ultimate Windows Tweaker. @Platypus Man: I think that's the main reason anyone would use any tweaking program - to more easily manage those 'tweaks' from one central location. All 'tweaks' can be performed without the tool, but it takes some searching to find out how and where. And ofcourse, changing a lot of settings at once using such an app is a good way to change something in a way you do not want changed, resulting in you having to dig through the options to find the setting to revert it. Ofcourse a System Restore point helps, but often you won't notice that one of the changes made is unwanted until days after you've checked that box, meaning any changes between then and now will likely be reverted as well. I prefer the manual method, as it will teach me something while I'm figuring out how to do it.

By doing it by hand, I will give myself time to get used to the change I made, assess whether it is something that I actually find useful and if not, I will revert it. Enhance Windows 7 Shell With Easy Gestures And Shortcuts. This little tool will specially come in handy for netbook users. Named SecondShell, this tool adds some useful enhancements to the Windows shell with extra focus towards netbooks. It adds features like maximizing windows horizontally or vertically, easy moving and resizing, one-click minimizing, custom hotkeys for application launch and more. It is portable, and the executable can be extracted anywhere and just needs to be run once. It will sit in the system tray and automatically enable all the features that it brings with it.

Right-click this try icon to either disable this extension, quit it, or see a list of supported shortcuts. This can be really helpful, as it will help you understand what exactly has the software added to you user experience. The features themselves are very useful, especially, as we mentioned earlier, if you are using a trackpad with a small screen (like a netbook). SecondShell does not modify any of the user’s settings or change the system registry in any way. SecondShell Moves, Resizes, and Minimizes Windows With Ease. @kb: AHAHAH.

Yeah, nothing cures boredom like only seeing a slow download of some massive file. @kb: what would be the purpose of that? I can put a hotkey for that into SecondShell if it is interesting to others as well. @szekelya: For example: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. The dialog box should basically be just an explorer window with a save button, which it almost is. Microsoft Fix It Center Beta Guides You Through Common Windows Problems. @zaghy2zy: I take back what I said... lol, there's nothing really helpful here... They need to improve it... I mean, really.... I'm back to digging through KB then.... lol @zaghy2zy: I've noticed most windows problems suffered by friends and family are simply them not reading the screen. In which case, information on the screen won't help. @zaghy2zy: Don't thank Microslop just yet. If M$ were to build a half decent O/S, people wouldn't need this or any of the other multiple utilities out there!

Companies develop utilities to "fix" Microslop's screw ups that could/should be fixed before the O/Ss are released! @Midnite1: well, as you can see, I did say I take back what I said about it. Plus, you can't blame everything to Microsoft since most problems come due to the hundreds and thousands of combinations of different hardware and software that the operating system can be used on/with.
