I resisted buying Vista until I was forced into it and after living with good old Microsoft Vista for quite a while now I can tell you that one installation doesn’t fit all users. Microsoft in their infinite wisdom, knowing exactly how you want to use a computer, is opt to moving controls for the sake of adding a new version number to the mix. For instance, if you want to just click on the run command you have to search for it now. Thank god for software developers that can turn off that gushy Vista garbage.

VistaTweaker is a nice and simple tool that allows you to modify your Vista installation to work the way it should work. Basically all of the features that Vista had hidden because you as a user are not smart enough to use them are all available to turn back on. UAC driving you nuts like a Mac commercial? Turn it off with a simple click? Looking for that pesky “Run” command? Click a radio button and you are in business.

Everything from showing hidden files to speed up tweaks that the pros use are here in one easy to use package. There are some notable omissions though, like most of the Aero (Windows Vista default theme) settings that tend to slow down your PC. The best part of VistaTweaker is that it is free, easy to use, and stable. I tested most of the functions on my machine with Vista Ultimate and never saw a glitch that I would expect from a pre-1.0 release.
