VistaTweaker 0.5 helps you tweak those pesky settings

VistaTweaker
There's no shortage of tools out there for tweaking those hard to reach settings in Windows Vista. Want to disable the user account control or at least disable some of the warnings? How about disabling auto-complete in file dialogs? You could muck around in the Windows registry, or you could just check a few boxes and let someone else do the heavy lifting.

VistaTweaker 0.5
is the latest tweaking tool we've taken for a spin. It's lightweight, at just 664KB. There's also no installation required, which is always nice. And it means you can also run VistaTweaker from a flash drive. There's even a U3 setup file for installing VistaTweaker on a U3 compatible flash drive.

VistaTweaker also has one of the most complete lists of tweaks we've seen, covering everything from the Windows User Interface and Internet Explorer settings to disabling word-wrap in Notepad. And this is just version 0.5. We can't wait to see what's in store for VistaTweaker 1.0.

It doesn't look like the developer has posted the latest version on his website yet, but you can download it from Major Geeks.
