Proud Sponsor of X-Setup

... The BEST and most comprehensive Windows 95/98/NT4/2000/ME/XP/2003/Vista/2008/7 system tweaking and registry "hacking" tool, I like to call THE ultimate power user "Nirvana". X-Setup optimizes your Windows OS computer in every imaginable way, bringing it to the MAXimum level of performance, compatibility, speed and security anyone dreams of.
It's like having MS TweakUI, TweakAll, TweakJr, Tweak 2000, TweakME, TweakXP, WinBoost, PC Accelerator, Total Control, Tweaker, ITweakU, Tweak Revisited, DirectControl, CacheMan, Cache Booster, Optix, Matrix Tweaker, Fresh UI etc... ALL in ONE program, and much, MUCH more. No other similar tweaking utility comes even close!
... And besides, X-Setup is also absolutely FREEware for personal use. So how can you beat that? But don't take my word for it, just try it on your own.

X-RAMBLING

I used to be a member of the Xteq Systems team, and many of my Windows 9x/NT4/2000/ME/XP/2003 Tricks, Secrets + Registry Hacks are successfully used in X-Setup Pro.

As you all know by now :) [see "BUGGY TWEAKUI 98", also in TIPS98.TXT (part of W95-11D.EXE), for details], the (too) many TweakUI consecutive releases were/are more or less stable/buggy. So I gave up on using it altogether, in favor of the most comprehensive, feature loaded, [I consider] the BEST Windows 9x/NT4/2000/ME/XP/2003/Vista/2008/7 tweaking/hacking/power tool... you might have guessed what I'm talking about if you thought of X-Setup Pro. :)
