CompUSATechShop.com Tweaks
Tweaks for windows XP that I have compiled over the years either from using RegShot as I make a change or searching tweaks online. I am also going to make a PHP form for selecting tweaks and then compiling a reg import file that can be downloaded.

These tweaks tend to focus on removing the fisher price interface and lame interface features that slow down advanced users such as the file search dog with the questions you have to click on to tell it what type of files you are trying to search for and stuff like common tasks in explorer windows and the new control panel. I don't know if most people will fine this useful but you can look through it and pick out tweaks that you like because I have put a comment on almost everything about what it does. I run this reg file on every new install of windows xp for my personal computers.

Do you have any other reg tweaks that should be here? Click here to tell me, I will add them.

This will turn off built in CD burning, windows firewall and system restore because I don't use them. So don't just download and run it, edit it first
