Beware of the trial versions for Vista and XP, they let you start only once the program.

True. Additonally it somehow misconfigured my system which caused it not to boot anylonger. Be careful. Cannot recommend it.

just try windows 7 manager from yamicsoft.
i tested both but i got the best results with windows 7 manager and it has more not too difficult options

Apart from that Yamicsoft thingie: I just found another Tweak-7 which actually seems to do a much better job and includes much more stuff to play with: check out Totalidea's Tweak-7. I wonder why that one is not listed anywhere here, just like the YamicSoft is also not mentioned here, as far as I can tell...
