Nice find, Glenn, all the tweaks a boy could dream of.

Glenn · Jan 22, 2011, 12:28:14

Thanks, some of it you can already do via msconfig

Rik · Jan 22, 2011, 12:29:24

I know, but centralised tweaking is so much easier.

Anyone know if MS has released a Tweak UI applet for Win 7 yet.

Have it installed on my XP system.

Steve · Jan 22, 2011, 15:07:16

I think the answer is no. However there is something called the Ultimate Windows Tweaker v2.1 which is compatible with v7.

Simon · Jan 22, 2011, 15:15:02

I'll have to upgrade one of these days.

Rik · Jan 22, 2011, 15:48:14

Don't rush.

Simon · Jan 22, 2011, 15:49:20

Have you given up?

Rik · Jan 22, 2011, 15:51:20

No, though the laptop doesn't get a lot of use. It's just that, by the time I'd finished with it, I'd managed to make 7 look and feel like XP.

Simon · Jan 22, 2011, 15:52:19

Yes, and didn't we all try to make XP look and feel like 98SE?

Rik · Jan 22, 2011, 15:57:59

True, so really I'm using a souped up version of 98.

Mine still does. The first thing I did with XP (after turning Automatic Updates off) was set the "classic" interface.

Rik · Jan 22, 2011, 16:50:23

Same here, and I've done it to 7 too.

armadillo · Jan 22, 2011, 16:51:51

Oh good. There's hope yet. I had wondered if W7 could be made to look like 98SE.

Rik · Jan 22, 2011, 16:56:39

It can, Dill.

Simon · Jan 22, 2011, 17:37:35

Luddites, all of us!

Rik · Jan 22, 2011, 17:40:49

And proud of it.

A lot of my motivation, in going Classic, is to remove colour from the desktop as much as possible. It can have a massive impact on colour judgement when doing photographic work. Blacks, greys and whites are my ideal. In the same way, I would only have white or grey walls, and I use 6500K lighting to preserve colour integrity.

Is it free?

I've not started messing with Win7 yet. I'll probably end up with windows 9 before I get too annoyed at this little box.

Rik · Jan 23, 2011, 11:34:09

It is, though you can donate, Ben.

mrapoc · Jan 23, 2011, 13:17:09

Is this as good as nlite was with XP/Vista?

DorsetBoy · Jan 23, 2011, 15:55:35

How does adding 4 more applications make your OS "Lite" ?

Technical Ben · Jan 23, 2011, 17:23:58

Huh? AFAIK they are installed just to configure the system. Then you can remove them?

Ray · Jan 23, 2011, 18:01:53

As I see it from looking at the website, it's not for tweaking a live windows installation it's for making a customised installation DVD and slip streaming drivers, updates etc into the install DVD, a bit like you could do with Nlite in Windows XP.
