Tweak VI for Vista RC1+


Hi Friends:

I have installed the basic/free version of Tweak VI for Vista. The program does a lot of things. I am just now warming up to it. So, I have done nothing but look at the informtion it provides. The quality and thought behind the program appears to be very good. I am hesitant to use too many things that invisibly affect my system--especially given how short-lived the RC1 restore points are. Though you might like to take a look at Tweak VI and provide thoughts.

Thanks Josh. Congrats on # 100. I have been throught the program somewhat carefully at this point. What I like the best about the basic version is the relatively quick access to information. I think that I have the mechanical tweaks it offers handled in other ways. And, I think that if one uses the program too much, then facility will be lost with Vista--sort of like the negative effects of using a spell checker or calculator to excess. But, the progaram is so nice I sort of don't want to uninstall it and do a system restore.

"And, I think that if one uses the program too much, then facility will be lost with Vista--sort of like the negative effects of using a spell checker or calculator to excess." Znod how will that apply in this case?

Well, one might forget where things are in Vista and what can be accomplished using its settings alone--which are perfectly adequate for me.

Hi All:

I have become unenamored with Tweak. It was doing things that I did not want it to do. Changing icon sizes, how "Computer" appears, etc. I won't tolerate a program that changes things that I don't want changed. Some of the problem may be that some settings already are selected in Tweak. I might have been able to fix everything, but it wasn't worth my time to do so. So, I uninstalled Tweak and rolled my system back to my "PreTweak" restore point. I am not saying that Tweak is not worthwhile, but it wasn't working out smoothly enough for me the more I used it.
