X-Setup-
The Ultimate Windows Tweaking Package (2.5 Meg)
Tweak your desktop to perfection with X-Setup. This fine program offers access
to so many hidden Windows settings, it will make your jaw drop. Available tweaks are
organized into a tree view with six basic categories: Appearance, General Usage, Hardware,
Internet, Network, and System. You can hide/show Start menu items, system icons, and
individual drives; tweak the behavior and appearance of Internet Explorer, Outlook
Express, Internet Information Server, and Netscape; change ActiveDesktop tips; add folder
and context menu commands; and much more. You can edit boot options, stop programs from
automatically loading with Windows, and remove items from the Uninstall list. There are so
many tweaks available that X-Setup includes 20 separate wizards to help you step through
them all in orderly fashion. Plug-in technology enables you to add your own tweaks or
possibly download more in the future from the author's Website. Online help is available
but falls short of explaining each tweak individually. Overall, though, X-Setup is a
computer junkie's delight, and best of all -- it's free! (ZD Net Review 8/99)
