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.
