So what tweaks does it do? What registry settings does it change, if any?

Those buttons look way to vague for me to ever click. You need to provide detailed descriptions of what each tweak does, rather than you interpretation of what it's for.

I need to use a Java Runtime, was hoping to avoid installing one to be honest, but I'm sure it'll be some use to other people! :)

I'll stick to TuneUp Utilities. :hmmm:

So why is UAC disabled?

[soldier1st]

that utility is useless as the best tweak is to leave vista alone.

Sorry about that. :/

So why is UAC disabled?

By disabling UAC Vista will be less annoying and it will start faster. If you tick the UAC box in the first prompt screen UAC will not be disabled. :)

Btw, I released 1.0.0.2 version wich fixes bugs and improves the GUI.

Why should anyone install software that makes their computer *less* secure by disabling UAC and the firewall?

Only reason someone releases stuff like this is because they must want to preserve their botnets by promoting insecure computing habits.

By disabling UAC Vista will be less annoying and it will start faster. If you tick the UAC box in the first prompt screen UAC will not be disabled. If user has 3rd part firewall then there's no need to have Windows Firewall enabled because it may cause conflicts and if you tick the Windows Firewall box in the first prompt screen Windows Firewall will not be disabled.

Btw, I think I'm not the only one who hates UAC.

:crazy:
