 to BCThe updated version 2.0 looks like Microsoft throwing its weight around. It is mainly a rename from The Windows XP Tweak Companion to The TweakGuides Tweaking Companion with some spelling and link editing involved. I guess I can't really blame M$ though, Windows XP is their copyright after all. QUOTE Guide renamed to TweakGuides Tweaking Companion
Version: 2.00 Release Date: 18 August 2005 Revisions: Guide renamed from The Windows XP Tweaking Companion to The TweakGuides Tweaking Companion as requested by Microsoft. Guide edited throughout to fix some grammatical/spelling errors and fix dead links. Otherwise contents remain the same as the previous version(s). -------------------- |

Some of the tweaks really screwed up my computer. Make sure you have a restore point before you try any of these tweaks. The delete indexing make it so I couldn't even search for a *.bat file. Beware.....

Oh that is beautiful, although it helpful it's around two years late. Being homeschooled I tend to finish my subject early. So I have half a day to poke around my computer. I'll always have a fond spot for dell for that was the site of many a cruel experiments.

When I run my computer, next to the mouse pointer is a (sand dial) that comes on and blinks on and off continually. How can I get rid of it? I also installed spysweeper, but the problem continues. Thanks

QUOTE(Ronbo @ Mar 15 2005, 06:39 PM) For those of you with Win XP, I found this 170 page PDF format tweak guide. It has a lot of good information and is well worth the download. http://www.tweakguides.com/XPTC.html thanks for guides ;) |
