As some tweaks are only available for particular operating systems, each tweak will be listed together with the version of Windows it applies to. 3. 21 Start menu Start menu tweaks allow you to customize and streamline the Start menu to your taste. Show Start menu icon tweaks (XP, Vista, 7) These tweaks allow you to show or omit icons from the Start menu. You can choose to include only the most important icons to facilitate the selection process or, for example, choose to include icons that are not available by default. Enable Start menu scrolling (XP, Vista, 7) Without Start menu scrolling, if there are too many icons in the Start menu to display in a single column, Windows will use multiple columns. With Start menu scrolling, Windows keeps the single column format but adds scrolling functionality. 7 I SystemTweakerr 2010 Help Manual www. uniblue. com 3. 22 Control panel Like Start menu tweaks, Control panel tweaks provide the option to show or omit icons. Control panel icons can be hidden as a precaution to prevent system elements from being tampered with. 3. 23 Network Network tweaks control how your computer behaves when connected to a network. All network setting changes are implemented once the computer is restarted. Disable remote administration access to floppy drives (XP, Vista, 7) When remote administration to floppy drives is allowed, another user sharing your network can access any data you might have in your floppy drive. Access can be disabled for security reasons. Disable remote administration access to CDROM drives (XP, Vista, 7) Like floppy drives, network access to CDROM drives can be disabled for elevated security. Load balance multiple network adapters (XP, Vista, 7) If more than one network card is available, this tweak balances the network load equally between multiple cards. This can boost network availability and resilience. Enable print server notification messages (XP, Vista, 7) When enabled, any server notifications will be displayed automatically as a taskbar popup. Broadcast new shared printer availability over the network (XP, Vista, 7) Windows is set to automatically search for shared printers connected to your network. If this function is switched off, shared printers will no longer be broadcast as available for use by other networked computers. Hide Network File Share passwords with asterisks (XP, Vista, 7) When enabled, passwords used to access shared files are displayed as asterisks. Disable printer sharing (XP) Disabling printer sharing ensures that no one on your network can make use of printers connected to your PC. [. . . ] Disabling automatic restarts through this tweak can help troubleshoot Windows problems and errors. Suppress PC speaker beep when system errors occur (XP, Vista, 7) When the system encounters an error, the PC speaker is programmed to beep to provide a warning. Show more detailed information in Windows Device Manager (XP) Windows device manager can be configured to display extra information. To access this extra information, right-click on a device and, from the menu, select properties. [. . . ]
