    I could really use the Tweak UI and image resizer, amongst other things...

    Not yet, but then again Vista did not have this stuff for a while.

    Windows 7 isn't even on the consumer market (yet).

    Well, looking for a Tweak UI clone (or something of the sort).
    Trying to get rid of these annoying icon arrows without having to mess around with the registry.

    Ideas?

    Thanks!
    What does the bootpro function do?
    Are any of these dangerous to use?

    I'm fairly sure posting links to such blatantly illegal downloads is against the rules...

    remember that tweakui came out to centralize all of the 'hidden' XP config items that people had found.

    Most/all of those same items are already touchable in the Win7 control panel.

    Yes, eventually, someone will release a gui/shell that pulls everything together on one or two screens. Until then consider this a good chance to learn the ins and outs of the control panel.

    Thanks, nice find. Just installed it and it works just like the XP Powertoy version. + Rep!

    They are currently no official Win7 tweak UI software.
    But Vista's ones works somewhat. I am working on one if you wonder.
