Thanks for all ur tweaks,but,these are not suitable for normal computer users. Why not come out with a program to do and restore all these tweaks. Editing registry manually is not advisable. Even best of registry cleaners fault. Try "Wise registry & disk cleaner " and see your system vanish. Even try CCleaner to flush out ur missing .dll files and see the aftermath. Users must avoid using programs which modify ur system files that cannot be undone.

^^ All tweaks are thoroughly tested by me on various machines and OS before posting here so I can assure you that it'll not harm you in any condition.
