I  have two program that I want to recommend. They are both free and very useful to even the beginner.

The first program is from a company called Xteq they have actually changed the name of the software. Xteq X-Setup is now called XQDC X-Setup Pro

This software is very powerful and allows registry tweaks in all versions of windows - well, back to Win 95. - I highly recommend you at least take a look at it.

XQDC is totally spyware free, and powerful - please be careful  though

You should be able to click on the logo (X-Setup) and go directly to that sight for more info, and the Major Geeks logo to download the software.

Another program that find useful is called Regseeker and is stuffed full of very pertinent info  - I use it for cleaning my registry. Often times when you remove a program it leaves orphan entries that cause you system to load slower and work harder than it needs to. I have had no problems when using either program. This program can be downloaded by clicking on the Regseeker link hear - - ---> REGSEEKER

I hope you find these two freeware programs as useful as I have. I would like to hear from those who of you who have used them and who will  use them.
