Windows XP Fix And Tweak Catalog

Posted Oct 2, 2008 by Jason Faulkner  

Windows XP has a myraid number of aspects which can be tweaked. Many through option dialogs, miscellaneous utilities or by changing registry entries. On this note, I thought I would pass along a huge catalog of XP fixes and tweaks.

Most of the entries here accomplish the task by using either a VBS script or a REG (registry) file. You can use scripts on this site to:

  • Change Registered Owner and Organization
  • Repair the Icon View
  • Add Command Line to the Right Click
  • … and over 800 more

One thing to note here is the author’s disclaimer:

These registry edits and script files are presented “as is”.  Every effort has been made to ensure the files work as stated.  I assume no responsibility for your use of these files.

This is a great bookmark to have in the event you need to find a tweak or fix on your XP machine.
