Yes, it's true! This can do all kinds of things you've been dying to do in XP...it can modify all sorts of settings, turn off annoying reminders; you just wonder why MS didn't include such options built into XP to begin with.

This utility offers a lot of options for tweaking your user interface. I have been using it for years and I love it. The complaints I've read don't take into account that some of the settings couldn't be available unless there was a certain amount of danger involved. This tool does exactly what it is supposed to do and it does it very well. If you are an inexperienced user or if you don't pay close attention, you could mess up your system. Be sure you have a backup.

This is really worth a try, and differently a thumbs up on windows part, the developers at Microsoft did a great deal on this because the default set up of windows is not very good.., one feature, mouse-x is really neat, it can shift windows by hovering, instead of click although it's kind of a nuisance if theres alot of windows open, or your not very coordinate with the mouse so to avoid this.. (325 ms) delay is a recommended setting. although i wish it would shift from the task bar as an option too, which would be even a million times better. others setting are autologin, and command keys, taskbar grouping cust. ect etc.. pretty much a powertool that should be on windows by default.

TweakUI XP is truely a 5 star program but only for beginners. Once you learn a little about PC, then the tweaks it offer does not seem to be interesting and tweaking much.

This program works very well, no real risk of messing anything up, unlike Xteq. If only there were more tweaks included. Maybe they will add more. Either way, this has some great tweaking options.
