XdN Tweaker for Windows

XdN Tweaker is not one of those usual tweaking softwares that give you access to change hundreds of Windows settings in one tiny menu. This one is different. It concentrates on only a handful of tweaks that are not so common and supports Windows Vista, Windows XP and Windows 2003 both 32-bit and 64-bit versions and needs the .net framework 2.0 as well.

Let me mention a few tweaks that I found useful: It is possible to change the number of folder views that Windows remembers. Windows XP for instance has a limit of 400 folder views which can be raised to the Vista default of 5000 for instance. Folder Views are folders with your personal folder settings. If that cap is reached the default folder view will be used instead.

Another tweak would be to add the file menu on top of Internet Explorer 7 again. Microsoft decided to “hide” the file menu in Internet Explorer 7 and this tweak changes this back to the way the file menu was displayed in Internet Explorer 6.

Here are several other features that I found useful:

  • Disable and Enable ‘SendTo’ right-click menu
  • Add/Remove “Take Ownership to right-click menus under Vista
  • Changes “Delete to “Search… on Recycle Bin
  • Remove/Restore hidden ASPNET user that prevents auto login

    Is this one of those programs that doesn’t need to be installed?
