Cool Free Windows XP Utility

I was wondering if there's a free Windows repair utility for Windows XP?

Hi Pimpmaster,

WinXP already has System Restore and the Windows XP Repair Console built into it.

What kind of problems are you having?

Don't forget TweakUI although it only repairs a few things.

Wow, I have never heard of it doing that!

Could this be an issue for you NK

* PowerToys will only work with US-English regional settings.

Perhaps or the fact that my Win is the RC1.

If it is the regional settings, perhaps we spanish speakers should sue M$ for not thinking about us.

RC-1 could be a problem as well.

Sue M$?

Sounds like a fruitful idea, but unfortunately Microsoft aren't actually the ones that created TweakUI for XP. They just help represent it (and other "powertools").


(is "represent" the word i was looking for? I'm not sure.)

Also I believe MS doesn't officially support TweakUI or the rest of the Powertoys.

I think the proper word is "own" DilLy.
