Some tweakers are powerful programs that can change  some important Windows settings and make serious changes to the Windows  registry. All this can be good or bad. Some tweaks are best used by advanced  users, because if you don&#8217;t know what you&#8217;re doing you can, at worst, make some  unwanted changes to your Windows system. So we&#8217;re often reluctant to recommend a  really powerful tweaker like this one. We don&#8217;t like getting letters from people  that say &#8211; &#8220;I downloaded that program and now my computer has nothing but  Chinese text &#8230;.&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>X-Setup Pro is an extremely powerful Windows  tweaker that enables you to make over 1,900  changes to settings that are  usually hidden deeply in  configuration-files and the registry with just a  click. You can use it on Windows XP, Vista, or Seven (32 or 64 bit). It&#8217;s fairly  easy to use and has a friendly user interface. You can make changes to almost  every aspect of your computer. X-Setup Pro is one of the most powerful and  comprehensive tweakers available &#8211; which means it is also one you need to use  with caution. <\/p>\n<p>X-Setup Pro sold for $14.95 when it was still  being sold. But alas, like so many other small Web companies, the folks who  built their hopes and dreams on their programming skills have closed up shop.  But they&#8217;ve been kind enough to allow everyone to use X-Setup free. This means  two things: You can get X-Setup free and it&#8217;s no longer being developed. If you  download and install X-Setup you&#8217;ll  notice some features are a bit dated. For  instance, you&#8217;ll see settings changes for Internet Explorer 6, 7 and 8 &#8211; but not  for 9. But don&#8217;t let that stop you &#8211; there are still over a thousand setting  changes you can make with X-Setup. It&#8217;s still one of the most powerful tweakers  you an install.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a twist. We&#8217;re not recommending this program simply as a  tweaker. We&#8217;re recommending it as a Windows learning tool. Almost every settings  change you can make is accompanied by a complete description of what that change  does and how a certain part of Windows works. This program is worth downloading  even if you never use it to make a single settings change. If all you do is read  the information that accompanies each potential settings change &#8211; you&#8217;ll learn a  great deal about Windows.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2011\/xsetup.png\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Cloudeight InfoAve\" width=\"600\" height=\"483\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re interested in getting one of the most powerful Windows tweakers available (Works on 32bit and 64bit versions of Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows Seven) or if you&#8217;re just interested in learning more about the Windows you use every day you should download X-Setup Pro.
