I think it is worth to take a look at this program called "Samurize". It is a computer statistics/information tool, very customizable and can show LOTS of info without using too many resources.

Check it out at: http://www.samurize.com/

You are missing the motherlode of all tweak sites:

http://www.mdgx.com

You could spend weeks on this site and not make use of everything.

i have a tweaking site called XP Domination, please check it out.

i use only proven & documented registry tweaks. it's a small script that doesn't need any program to run and doesn't install any software. it simpy performs a few tweaks and then deletes itself. perfect for unattended windows cds.

also on my site is a small script which can hack windows file protection even while /system32/sfc_os.dll is in use.


feel free to email me about any registry tweaks you think should be removed or added to XP Tweaks

Well, it sure seems as if were going round the block here. smile.gif

Just a little visual gadget for the collection(s): RocketDock

http://www.punksoftware.com/projects

Provides a customizable panel with zoom-function (yeah, like the MAC's). Does'nt hog too much RAM.

Enjoy.

I hav been using GameXP for tweaking windows( ucan get it at http://www.theorica.net/download.htm )...but some antivirus softwares detect it as a virus and delete it..may be because it modifies the registry values...also some of my friends hav got problem using it...so if u r using it better create a restore point and work on it...
