A. After you download TweakUI at the Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP Web page and install it, tweakui.exe will be located in the \%systemroot%\system32 folder. To add tweakui.exe to the Control Panel folder, paste the following listing into a text file (name it tweakui.reg) or download tweakui.reg at Download, then execute it by double-clicking the file. When you open Control Panel, you'll have a TweakUI link.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
