Regtweaks (Win 7 - Win 10) Collection files original created under the GNUv2 license 2015 by CHEF-KOCH. Some tweaks are taken from the internet, some are found by myself.

Current Status: Over 600+ tweaks

Before! you use any tweak(s) ensure you read the comment(s) inside the .reg (labeled with ;) to see what it really changes. Of course an backup/snapshot could also help in case something goes wrong. Remember: Shit happens!

Project Goal

1. All of the tweaks could be integrated into image creations tools (vLite, WinToolKit,..) to simplify things, especially if you like to re-install Windows from the ground without need to apply each tweak one by one.
2. Show hidden things that aren't visible via GUI under Windows. Sometimes it's easier/faster to do this via .reg instead of search for the toggles.
3. Another goal is that the user doesn't need additional tools like O&O ShutUp, because some of such 'Privacy' tools are bundled with bloatware and are not necessary, because all can already be done with scripts and .reg tweak - So overall an Index/Backup script to read the current state is more transparent (see 1/2).
4. Fix everything under ToDo.

RegTweaks is free, but powered by your support

There are many reoccurring costs involved with maintaining free, open source and privacy respecting programs. As you probably know, developing quality applications takes much time and resources. Your donation will make it possible to keep my the current development standard.

Any problems, questions or something wrong?

• Feel free to open an issue ticket and I will look at it asap. - Pull requests or ideas are always welcome!
• Please do not use the issue tracker to ask for xyz tweaks, I not waste my time with that until there is a very good reasons to do so. If you found something that wasn't added here contact me and I will add it.

To answer the question how do I find all these registry tweaks, it's very easy and explained with pictures and an example video over here.
