Better than Microsoft Bob!

You cannot even begin to consider yourself a Windows Power User unless you have downloaded and installed the Tweakomatic Scripting Tool.

Tweakomatic is a nifty new utility that writes scripts that enable you to retrieve and/or configure Windows and Internet Explorer settings. So what, you might say. Well, think about it. Because these are Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) scripts, they can be used to configure settings on remote computers. Need to change something on a remote computer? Then haul out Tweakomatic. And think about this: because Tweakomatic writes scripts, you could do something like run these scripts as logon or logoff scripts. In other words, you could quickly, easily, and automatically configure settings on any or all the computers in your organization. Tweakomatic is undoubtedly the single best thing Microsoft has released since Windows itself!

Well, okay. But it is better than Microsoft Bob.

If you aren’t comfortable with scripts, then you should tinker with TweakUI instead.
