Thanks for the heads up Animal, and by the way; :thumbsup:

to BC

The 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.

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).

There is no justice, there is just us.

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.

(I have a nice custom built now)

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

Mod Edit: Cleaned up post by closing bb code tags.

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.
