    Here's a basic one with an easy "undo" button:

    Ultimate Windows Tweaker

    Keep in mind that most of these just turn off features, some of which you may want.

    Mine are set like this...in decimal:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced
    "ExtendedUIHoverTime"=dword:00000100
    "ThumbnailLivePreviewHoverTime"=dword:00001000

    guess it is nearly the normal settings....

    The only one mentioned which actually improves WIn7 is the Add Copy/Move to context menu tweak. But it's "Move" function isn't always instantaneous (change directory label) but will copy anyway so it needs improvement.

    As stated repeatedly here, tweaking Win7 for performance is unnecessary, redundant oldthink. Beta testers learned this the hard way time and again.

    They have already perfected Windows this time - Really.

    I still insist that if you want to play with the registry it's far better to work with the Group Policy editor instead. You can easily tweak your system six ways to Sunday or you can tweak every system in your network and change it back just as easily.

    And Greg I agree, there is no reason for fancy tweaking of Windows 7 because they did in fact get it right this time.

    I'm a bit surprized that nobody else picked up on that post I made because it answered the Op's questions to a T.

    Looks like the Op thought so also.

    I think people reading this thread does...but not answered the post.

    One question is that the OP didn't mentionned on what kind of Multiple Client Windows 7 it will installed. Some might be only Windows Home Premium and not Pro nor Ultimate...

    Don't worry we listen at you...and those posts stays here...:)
