Windows 7 Registry Hacks or Tweaks?

With Windows Vista and XP there were loads of little tweaks that could be made, to change the way that Windows worked. I'm sure there are some in Windows 7 too, but in different locations.

Has anybody had a look under the hood to see what can be tweaked?

I remember reading a post from another member who knew lots about the registry, so perhaps try messaging him to see if he knows I don't touch the registry, just so I don't break it

Good point, that would be reghekr I guess

Welcome to Windows7Forums.

I don't know. I guess the question to ask would be, "What do I want to do?" then we can get somewhere.
For starters, I did some digging and found this:

It removes your desktop watermark.

Thanks! That worked on 7127 64-bit.

No problem!

thank you so much

Here is what I did.

Put my taskbar icons to not group (and be full size), made my icons on the taskbar and deskop both small icons -- the large icons are HUGE and I don't see the point


Disable services:
-Windows Defender
-Superfetch (if you have 8gb of RAM and you never use over 4gb at a time, don't disable this, but if you have 2gb you DEFINITELY want to disable it, and I'd say the same if you have 4gb too but that's up for debate. This makes a huge difference, and hardly increases your load times unless you have some old ATA-33 hard drive).

UAC -- I disable it. Without it, it wouldn't let me change my monitor refresh rate, and something else. I don't get a lot of prompts with it in Windows 7, but to an advanced user especially it's the most useless feature. It really isn't much less secure with it off -- viruses have been made to get around it since before Vista's launch, but it will keep some older viruses from finding their way into startup.

I also do the IE8 menu bar tweak, although I use primarily Opera.... just a personal preferance of mine.

I will keep looking for other tweaks, but disabling two services makes this OS perform much like XP for the most part, and a couple of other tweaks and I'm good to go -- which means less time spent doing tweaks and more time installing programs and games!
