XdN Tweaker is a free tweaking software for Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and Windows Vista. What makes this freeware different from others is the fact that it does not include settings and options which are normally available in Windows and can be changed easily. What this program does is to change settings which Windows does not normally allow to change without changing registry.

Nirmal that’s true…most tweakers do not have these tweaks listed. Nice!
Oh…this is nice..allowing you to change settings that windows allows you to do only by changing the registry… but without changing the registry…How do they do it?
@Techblissonline,
That is the feature of this utility, but I think it does change the registry, its not mentioned that it does not change the registry.
Nice find Nirmal. Currently I am using Fresh UI to achieve this feat.
looks quite good…will give it a try
