Ultimate Windows Tweaker : Feedback & Support.

[HappyAndyK]

WinVistaClub's Ultimate Windows Tweaker, is freeware. It has over 130 registry tweaks, but is yet, just a 370 KB .exe file which does not require an install. Its RTW v 1.0 is now available for download.

Your suggestions, bugs reports, feedback or support requests are most welcome here. Its author, Ramesh Kumar, Microsoft MVP would be happy to help you out, here.

While giving feedback, please mention your OS & IE version. eg Vista SP1 32bit with IE 8 Beta2.

I just checked it out now and it's really awesome! Such a huge collection of tweaks and that too in 300 kb is wonderful. Thanks Ramesh for making such a cool application and Anand for promoting it.

P.S. Ramesh, why did you choose a b/w image and not a colored one? Anyways, In the systems and performance tab, there are three sliders for determining speeds. I made them fast and restarted, but the sliders automatically goes to the slow position once I restart and run the program again. I noticed that the speeds has increased for shutdown, so I guess it's just the sliders which are reverting back to their original position though the registry values have changed. By the way, are they any registry tweaks for a faster boot up?

I received an error message when applying settings from the tool, but the settings appear to work.

Nice work, thanks!

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

[HappyAndyK]

Thanks for taking time off for giving feedback. Mentioning your OS & IE version. eg Vista SP1 32bit with IE 8 Beta2, would help the Author to de-bug.
