   […] Re: Desktop icons corrupted ======================================= You can read about TweakVI for Vista. Use at your own risk as I have never used it. Google pulled it up, which may be a quicker way to solve a problem than posting. http://www.codejacked.com/a-tweakui-for-vista/ "Audioray" <Audioray> wrote in message news:ACDEEEB7-F0F6-4E17-BA1E-B2C0A6C5EA00… >I can’t get TweakUI to install on Vista Business any other ideas I am >having > the same problem with my Icons.

   I wanted to try the Tweak VI basic for Windows Vista. I downloaded and when trying to install it said if you do not wish to register just put SKIP in the name field. I did that and it would not let me go on without entering my e-mail address which I did. Then it said my e-mail address was not valid. I tried everything including leaving the e-mail off but to no avail. I turned off firewall and allowed the program to download. If anyone else has this problem they (totalida) should know about it.

   There is a way to get the Tweak UI for XP to work in Vista. I don’t know how wise it is to force it to work this way, because you’re effectively changing the Vista registry with an XP registry editing program, but it does work. Here’s how:

   FIRST
   RECOGNIZE THAT YOU’RE FOLLOWING THESE INSTRUCTIONS AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

   SECOND
   Get the tweakui.exe file.
   a. You might already have it if you upgraded from XP and used Tweak UI in the good old days. If so, just move the file to anywhere but the C:\Windows\System32 directory … Vista really doesn’t like tweakui there. I put it in C:\Program Files\Microsoft.
   b. If you don’t have the tweakui.exe file already, you have two options:
   i. Get it from a computer that has it. Simply copy the file (i.e. to a thumb drive or over a network) and slap it anywhere on your Vista machine (except the C:\Windows\System32 directory).
   ii. There’s a rumor that you can extract tweakui.exe from the installation file available at the XP PowerToys site using WinRAR or some other such archiving program. I haven’t tried this, though, but it might be worth trying?

   THIRD
   Set the tweakui.exe file to run with XP compatability.
   a. Right-click the file -> Properties -> Compatability tab -> check the CheckBox next to “Run this program in compatability mode for:” [Windows XP (Service Pack 2) -> Click OK.

   FOURTH
   Run tweakui.exe as an Administrator
   a. Right-click the file -> Run as administrator -> Continue -> Run program
   b. TweakUI might popup behind other windows (it always does for me!)
   b. If you don’t run as administrator, UAC will thwart your every change!
   c. If you have UAC turned off, you don’t need to run as administrator. You also won’t have to click “Continue” in step (a) above.

   FIFTH
   Don’t break your computer! I created AutoPlay handlers, I changed the places bar, and I changed the Templates successfully using this method. However, I can’t guarantee the safety of these or any other changes you make with TweakUI!

   the above method does not work as tweak ui requires a known system to be run on and vista wasnt around at the time therfore tweak ui doesnt recognise it, ie it wont work on vista

   Downloaded TweakUI from M$, unpacked the files from the setup with WinRAR.
   I have UAC turned off so tried both running as normal and running as Administrator, neither worked - I get a dialog box saying:

   “This version of Tweak UI requires Windows XP Service Pack 1 or Windows Server 2003″

   Running it in compatibility mode gives a different dialog:

   “Tweak UI may not be run under an emulator. Use the version of Tweak UI designed for your processor”

   This doesn’t change with Run as Administrator.

   The only thing I can think of is I’m running Vista 64 bit and perhaps that’s the problem.

   Out of ideas now and I’m certainly not going to pay another company for some basic features that should be in Windows already. I’m really beginning to wonder why I paid the extra money for the “Ultimate” edition of Vista. Doesn’t seem very ultimate apart from ultimately more expensive!

   Microsoft, if you’re reading this, please fix this.

   Not impressed.

   Update: TweakVI from totalidea doesn’t currently support 64 bit Vista either it seems (at time of writing). It installs ok but warns you it is in a beta state and things may be broken. They most certainly are. Unfortunately the broken bits are the only ones I was interested in! Grumble grumble……..
