Tips and Tweaks for the Windows Operating System
The following downloads are mainly in the form of compressed Zip files which can be downloaded and extracted to a folder of your choice on your computer. When opening the Zip file in Windows File Explorer, you will be given an option to extract the file. The registry file will make the appropriate changes to your Windows Registry. Therefore, it is a good practice to back up the Windows Registry in case of mistakes. With the latest Windows Operating System using File Explorer, it is not necessary to install third party unzip programs as File Explorer has this feature already built in.
