hey having trouble with tweaking?

Post by rovingcowboy »

i also found two newly updated tweaking programs that are free on majorgeeks.

one called XdN and it is for both vista and xp and is a very simple one to use just click the buttons on the tweaks you want.


the other one is mz ultimate tweak. it is for Xp only.

but it has lots of tweaks on it. and his home page has one that is an automatic program that makes sure the tweaks are always on when you start the system.
he also has the option to auto close hung programs on close of monkey.
that is really a plus in my book as i have several programs that don't like to close when windows tells them to.

as i said both are on majorgeeks.

Adobe reader never wanted to close on my system so I switched to FoxIt. I'm almost afraid to tweak anything now. I tried one of those cleaners once and it cleaned out too much, evidently. Had to do a format. :banghead: I had rather buy a pc than go through that. :dosgonebad:

this mz ultimate tweaker is rather simple of a tweaking program and the xdn tweaker is even more simple, it has a red mark on tweaks you might not want to do. so its save, there are things that can mess up your system if you don't do it correctly. but with these two tweakers they seem to be using the safest tweaks for none programmers to use.

one major tweek you need is making the page file larger.

and keeping the registry clean is a must. but you should go through the options for the cleaning program and tell it what is wanted to keep and what is not. such as forum cookies you have to keep so you don't have to keep logging in to the forum.
