Our friend "WinVistaClub" has released a Windows Vista tweaking utility "Ultimate Windows Tweaker". This utility contains 130+ registry tweaks which can enhance the performance and functionality of Windows Vista. It has been developed by our fellow MVP "Ramesh Kumar".
Its only 368 KB EXE file which even doesn't need any installation. You can directly run it after downloading so you can also carry it on your USB drive.

It contains 7 sections which helps in identifying which tweaks you want to apply:
- Personalization
- User Accounts and UAC
- System and Performance
- Security
- Internet Explorer
- Network Optimization
- Additional Options
You can download it using following link:

This program is buggy and needs to be clearly labeled 'Beta'.
The first thing I tried -- 'Remove arrows from Shortcut icons' (under 'additional options' ) created a whole lot of black holes on my desktop!
When I tried to reverse the action (having created the tools 'restore point' facility) I discovered there was NO restore point created. I had to go back a day!
WARNING to all users of this half-baked sodtware.

Thanks R ONeill for the pointer.
I am sure there is a tool for every one of the 130 'fixes' of Ultimate Vista Tweaker somewhere out there (after all, this is why I keep coming back to askvg.com regularly). However, I was hoping UVT would be a one-stop-shop for all of these under one program. I was a bit disappointed - especially when I could not even find the Restore point UVT /said/ it had created!

Oh i mean i got folowing error "Ultimate Vista Tweaker crashes when i lunch it and that means that it is NOT compatible with a Danish verion of Vista but i will try vistalizator to convert it to an English OS"

The option to use 4GB of RAM needs work. Even though I have 4GB of RAM and the option was available it did not work because there are other factors that need to be met in order for this to work. My rig don't meet these. MS has outlined what specs are needed in order to use 4GB in a KB article which you can Google for.

LOL. We post here for what? To have people look and say O wow! Can we get someone to help us fix these glitches or problems or we just not use the BETA version of this,giggle. Better yet maybee I just post log on every website what this is all about. Hmmm, maybee not. Just trying to get this program to work so I can see if this really is decent. By the comments above not sure if it is.
