Comments on: Two programs that simplify Vista system tweaking

The free Ultimate Windows Tweaker and $30 Vista Smoker Pro give you a graphical interface for making Registry changes that enhance Vista's performance.

so did anyone get download this and found the tweaks to be useful?? ... because Vista runs smooth as it is for me(on new computers)!

Interesting article....what's funny about it is that System Mechanic Professional has been offering the same (or better) system tweak interface for YEARS! It also includes iolo antivirus, firewall, and system protection utilities, for a completely seamless suite of services....I just renewed my annual subscription for only $19.95. In addition to the user-friendly registry tweaking interface, it offers a ton of other easy-to-use interfaces for common Windows functions like de-frag, registry cleanup/compacting and backup....put simply, System Mechanic does it all.

I'll look at System Mechanic and Stardock's Tweak Vista in my next post.

Thanks,

Tried the "Ultimate Windows Tweaker," but it crashed after every tweak I tried ti apply, and none of them worked on my system (Vista Ultimate 64 bit). Could be a cool app, if it worked.

I stopped using Vista nearly 3 weeks ago. I now use windows 7 and it runs even more fast than XP.
Forget vista use 7.

Agreed, although it is a bit off-topic
