Do You Like To Tweak Your Operating System?

I use Mac OS X but like to tweak the performance, starting with installation. I try not to install the language support for languages I don't use, and also don't bother with all the demo software. I also tweak the OS to make it run faster and eliminate features tht make the software easier for beginners, but that I don't use.

I love tweaking my OS, i even tweaked firefox so it can upload pages faster it is great, best platform if u want to tweak your system is linux, there are so many possiblities, of course u need to learn first but it is the ultimate freedom in tweaking your os and other software, and u could try to get aMSN it is faster than normal MSN Messenger. Search for aMSN nice soft. and instid of photoshop u could use Gimp. Instid of office u could try open office for that one u got to visit www.openoffice.org. there are alot more.

yeah i love it and i think when i feel that system is slow so i tweak it otherwise no more time to do it but i do it every weekend....

Yes, I like to tweak my system to make it runs faster. One thing I always do is to prevent the OS loading too many services at startup. Books on optimizing computer reveals that many services are actually of no use to ordinary users but they occupy a significant portion of memory making the system run sluggishly. So I use tweaking software to prohibit unnecessary service to load when machine is turned on.

I do that too. I replace them with other softwares that are suited to my preferences and needs. Having multiple softwares with the same functions will just use up hdisk space and system resources.

yes! I do a lot of tweaking using Windows XP. My tweaks are mostly on memory and look and feel, and some registry, AND group policy(gpedit). Also a some start ups. AND some windows unwanted things like system restore and windows alerts. I feel its really helps a lot in improving performance. Don't forget to turn up some services like remote registry stuffs.. oh! there are so many... you just need to explore..

i have also made some changes in my operating system. i have removed window messenger which annoys me on every boot. i have made some changes in registry too to make my system faster.

No, I don't like to tweak my Windows because of if Firefox stop working I can use IE until I fix it ! And with 3rd-partie programs like Winamp ! Good bye, crazyrk.

I love it! it helps me make my computer more me. I always loved customizing programs and adding skins. I've really changed my msn messenger and added Plugins, it really made my chatting experience better, not to mention the Firefox plugins, also known as extensions.

I dont mean to be dumb but Iam still new to all this computor stuff being that Ive only had the internet for about 5months now You said that you installed VLC instead of med player what is that.?

when i install windiows xp or windows 98 i would like to make all the thing which mircosoft make in the program i install two opreating system on my pc that why my pc got some slow but i am enjoying the both opreating system i installed so may other thing on both opereating system which i like But it has still so may bugs and microsoft doing nothin work on it

I like to tweak operating system as necessary .Normally i use it to do for a week or two .I like to do this using software tweak xp or the window xp default tweaking capablity .Tweaking of window xp increases the speed of program execution .

I like to tweak my system. The thing that I hate is when my system decides that it does not want to allow me to make the tweaks and wants to change it back to how it wants.

I just ditched IE and got Firefox, Also i ditched Microsoft word and powerpoint ( I NEVER USE :P )

Yeah, I do some tweaks my Operating System but rarely. Some tweaks I do with mine Operating System (Windows XP Service Pack 2) are: First to speed up my PC, I change the performance option which is in the advanced tab of My Computer Properties. Use sometimes optimum performance for speed and sometimes chose optimum appearance for some graphics. Second, always disable the "error sending report" feature of it by going to the advanced tab of My Computer Properties and changing the Error Reporting properties. Its really annoying when its popped out. Use Hibernation instead of turn off when electricity is gone. But I uses Windows Firewall than any other. I think Its better than others and lite to. I use IE 7 and Windows Media Player 11 but also uses VLC Media Player, Media Player Classic, Real Player, Jet Audio (Sometimes). I don't use Games feature of Windows XP and permanently removed the Windows messenger option. It always some at start up which really annoyed me a lot. Have a nice day.

Yes I did some tweaking on here. Actually I cannot remove Internet Explorer because I have some sites that will not open without it. Although I use Firefox, Opera or Avant Browser instead of Internet Explorer :). I just uninstalled IE 7 because it was sucking! It wouldn't even load any pages. So I thought whatever! I use Classic Media Player, DiVX, UltraPlayer, WinAmp and occasionally Windows Media Player and Real Audio Player. I have Open Office and Microsoft Office installed (Microsoft office is bootleg, haha). I have tweaked the register and used powertools for Windows.

i removed IE first from the windows XP, then i remove outlook,games second.i install firefox instead of ie,and foxmail instead of outlook.

Ya sure its too good for my pcs. its run my pcs fast and better.

Yes A Lot I Have Changed My Startup Sound i hAVE PUT MY OWN ICON IN SHELL32.DLL

I sure would if i knew how, like on XP right now i can't stand some aspects of it.
