Program that changes "Shortcut to X" to" X"

R

R.Scotti

I was checking out features yesterday and found a program that let me change settings for all my
areas. It had settings for the mouse; Speed of the mouse etc. Internet Explorer; Change mostly
disable functions, Explorer; change the shortcuts to name to just name, put version number on
desktop and many other options.
Plus it had many other areas I don't remember.

I tried to go back to change the shortcut option but can't remember where the program is?
I thought it was a Norton program Norton System Works or Internet Security but its not. I also
checked MS Config and other Windows settings and its not there either.

I have an HP Pavilion A1440N with Windows XP Media Center (Build 2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519)
According to the desktop. (although it says Windows Professional which I don't have.)

If someone knows which program does this I would really appreciate getting back to me.
Have a nice day.

Thank you so much I did have it installed but could not find it. I reinstalled it and is working
great. Put a shortcut on my desktop so I won't loose it.
I thought I could put this on my task bar but it won't go there.

Thanks again.

You're welcome. I usually pin TweakUI and other tools to my Start menu.

Here is a VB Script that will add TweakUI to the Control Panel, so you'll
always have it:

-------------------- Copy and
Paste -----------------------------------------------------

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{D14ED2E1-C75B-443c-BD7C-FC03B2F08C17}]
@="TweakUI XP"
"InfoTip"="Starts TweakUI for Windows XP"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{D14ED2E1-C75B-443c-BD7C-FC03B2F08C17}\DefaultIcon]

00,5c,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,00,5c,00,74,00,77,00,\

@="Add Tweakui to Control Panel"

----------------------------------------------
This is assuming you installed in the default destination folder:
%SystemRoot%\System32.
Now everytime you click on Control Panel, Tweakui will be an option.

Correction: That's actually a REG file, not VBScript.
