What issue?
TweakUI is a utility or interface that allows users to make certain
changes to the registry without having to use regedit. The program was
written by a Microsoft employee and was first released as part of the
PowerToys package for Win 95. The tool has been regularly updated over
the years with a version available for those using XP. If you haven't got
TweakUI the version for use with Win Me (v1.33) can be downloaded from
Microsoft
(http://www.microsoft.com/ntworkstation/downloads/powertoys/networking/nttweakui.asp)
and installed as follows:
Download to a folder with a short name (e.g. C:\Tweak), run to extract
components, right click on tweakui.inf and then install, close the help
window that comes up to allow install to finish. C:\Tweak can now be
deleted and TweakUI accessed via the Control Panel.
Just a few words of caution if you are new to using TweakUI on Win Me.
a) Do not change the first icon (My Documents) on the Desktop tab.
Doing this causes a number of script errors in Special Folders when using
either WebView or Active desktop.
b) Do not uncheck "Search Results" on the Desktop tab.
Doing this disables the Search in Explorer.
c) Do not hide the TweakUI icon on the Control Panel tab.
d) Do not uncheck "Show Control Panel on Start Menu" on the IE tab.
Doing this will prevent you from accessing the Control Panel including
TweakUI.
e) Do not uncheck "Shell Enhancements" on the IE tab.
This causes quite a few unexpected "problems".
