tweakui

About this tag
TweakUI is a Microsoft PowerToy for Windows XP that provides a graphical interface for adjusting hidden system settings. On WindowsForum.com, users discuss using TweakUI to enable automatic login for domain accounts, customize the Common File Dialog's Places Bar, remove shortcut arrows from icons, and prevent windows from stealing focus. Many members note that TweakUI is not compatible with Windows 7 or later, and they seek alternative methods such as registry edits or third-party tools like Ultimate Windows Tweaker to achieve similar customizations. The tag covers legacy tweaking utilities and the challenges of migrating those customizations to newer Windows versions.

    Understanding the Places Bar, Favorites and Libraries: How do they work, and how they can be customi

    Hi all, While using Windows XP, I used TweakUI to get the directories I frequently used with a minimum of fuss. The default options just didn't cut for me.
