Microsoft’s TweakUI allows the user to customize the user interface of the Windows operating system. The application has been designed for beginners or users with older, slower computers to turn off many aspects of the operating system’s eye catching features, such as fading menus, drop shadows, and cursor shadows and many more.

Tweak UI gives you access to a number of settings that are hidden away in Windows. It is part of the PowerToys utilities that are provided by Microsoft.

Tweak UI also includes numerous features to customise the way various base elements of the interface work, such as the taskbar and the desktop.

Tweak UI allows you to change the way Windows looks and works. For instance, you can change things like the speed at which the mouse wheel scrolls and if a specific user should be automatically logged in whenever you start up Windows (a big time saver if you are the only person to use a PC, and hate having to type your password every time you reboot).

It can also assign commands to keys in Windows Explorer; a big plus if you like shortcuts keys and frequently have to cut/copy lots of files.

The application also enables users to move the (default) location of their Documents, Music and Pictures folders, as well as other system folders. It also includes various tools to repair elements of the operating system, such as icons, hot keys, the font folder, and file extension associations. It can be used to disable AutoPlay on one or more drives as well, which may be useful especially as external hard disk drives become popular.

TweakUI is a little but great utility which allows us to alter hidden windows settings & Tweaks with without messing around in the Registry.
