    And the myriad of registry tweaks that I have accumulated to fix problems with windows or programs, and those that tweak windows. If there is interest I may put a registry file up that explains them all.

    There are a lot of other programs on my flash drive now but these are the main ones, I am looking into putting a PE onto it but we shall see.

    And I was thinking this thread was about physical tools..

    I'll just hijack the thread a bit to show what I use for any PC related problem..

    I use a Victorinox Cybertool and have had it on me every day for 4 years now.. so it needs replacement in about the next couple of months..
    I especially like the #8 #10 & #15 Torx bits cause you can never find a torx when you need one !! And the back of one of them is also the IKEA standard hexagon.. Without any bits it's ideal for those screwon thingy's around 'old' PC ports

    Should I just get a new one (I'd buy the 41 instead of the 34 this time.. for the Saw and file and all that) or should I buy something different ??
    ASCII stupid question, get a stupid ANSI.
