Looking for a TweakUI-like util for Windows 7

I'm looking for something equivalent to the TweakUI util that was
available at least up until Windows XP.

Actually, the main functionality that I'm looking for is the ability to
auto-logon a specific user account at boot time, in a multi-user
machine. Is this feature available elsewhere in Windows 7 now?

Another TweakUI feature I'm looking for is the ability to shrink the
"arrows" on a file shortcut.

This is what you want:
http://www.thewindowsclub.com/ultima...indows-7-vista

But WHY would anyone use auto-logon?

This link is for vista, but I think it will work on 7.

Some of us leave our computers running 24x7, have no children in the
house, and don't have strangers (guests, workers, etc.) roaming around
the house, so a system set up with autologon is perfect.

Exactly. Since I live alone and am the only user, I don't want to mess with
logons and passwords.

Thank you. That's why *I* have to bother with AV and antimalware
applications.

Learn something about Computer SECURITY.

Do you not find it strange that the most secure and virus-free operating
systems CANNOT run without usernames and passwords?
When will you idiots get some COMPUTER SECURITY knowledge?
