exactly. many years ago i kept searching for the latest, greatest tweaking app to get the best performance i could. i've learnt much from my younger days

hehe tw33k talking about tweaks

tweak before you install.I use vlite on windows 7,removes lots of things you don't need.Runs alot faster and much smaller install size.Just read up before you remove components or disable services as it can cause problems and conflicts.

Thanks to the tutorials in this forum I don't use any tweaking software.

how about Directory Opus? sure, it's a file manager and not a tweak program. but it is 95% customizable. you can make your context menus look however you want them to look - they can even differ by filetype or even custom filetype groups (like images or archives). all toolbars are also customizable, and can be moved about the screen as you like. you can incorporate 3rd party apps too - for example, i can select files and click my Burn button to send them to ImgBurn and start recording a new data disc with a single click.

regex rename scripting, duplicate file finder, file splitter/joiner, integrated ftp, dynamic thumbnails, custom tooltips, custom status bar, custom themes...

no single app has increased my productivity more than Opus. it's pricey, but it's worth every penny!

I love OPUS it is really what Explorer should be, it has brilliant renaming features and so much more, is it stable on Windows 7 as I have it for XP.

yes Opus is perfectly stable, but there are a few features that don't work. for example, the Replace Explorer function is busted. the latest builds detect Windows 7 and don't even let you enable it. also the double click on desktop to launch is not currently working.

basically any of these deep hooks are not accessible, but on a whole, the app runs great.

the developers plan to release a free patch for Windows 7 users by the time it goes retail in October.

yeah, do not tweak windows 7, indeed it is built by a concept of customization and tweaking.

I have a "thing" for Auslogics, and it works fine, but im not really running any reg-cleaner ANYTHING jst in case :P So idk

Which part of Auslogics are you NOT running? If I might ASK - WHY NOT?
I do not run System Protection due to I have a Very nice FW + AV + Malware and Antispyware Protection.

Ultimate Windows Tweaker 2.0 "free and prob the best"
TweakNow PowerPack 2009 1.6.4 "free"

EnhanceMySe7en 1.5.1 "free"
Windows 7 Manager 1.1.3 "paid"
7Tweak Pro 1.2.1 "paid app now"

wouldent touch any other app other then these. the last 3 i wouldent recommend but are wroth at least trying. everything done by these programs can be done in regedit.

also i highly recommend you do not run any registry cleaners from any of them as i have experience bad results on every format of win 7 after cleaning the registry such as loss of default apps and other numerous issues.
