Freeware Solutions: Tweak UI
What might be Microsoft's best free add-on to Windows is also its least well known: Introducing Tweak UI.

Let's face it: Customizing the behavior and appearance of Windows is not
intuitive. Maybe there are certain items you'd like to have in your Start menu,
or maybe you'd like to change Windows' default behavior when you click or open
a menu. Don't know where to go to make these little changes? Fortunately,
Microsoft's free Tweak UI tool (named for its skill of making changes to the
user interface) gives you a single place to do everything.

Most people never find out Tweak UI exists. First released as part of
Microsoft's Power Toys applications for Windows 95, Tweak UI is, essentially, a
control panel that agglomerates nearly all Windows interface settings controls
within a single location. The current version is compatible with all versions
of Windows--95 and 98, 2000, NT 4, and Millennium. Microsoft doesn't offer any
support for it, but it's simple to use.
