Regular readers of The Windows Club may be familiar with our several Windows freeware releases. The one common thing among them all was that they were all small portable apps which did not require an install. But this one is different! It does a lot, is a 10 MB download, and requires to be installed.
We present to you our new release: Ultimate Windows Customizer! While our Ultimate Windows Tweaker allows you to tweak various settings in Windows 7 and Windows Vista, this freeware will let you easily customize and change your Windows 7 (Windows 8 support to be added later) look – like changing the Start Button, Logon Screen, Thumbnails, Taskbar, Explorer look, Windows Media Player, etc.
Ultimate Windows Customizer
There are tons of applications available to customize your Windows installation, but the problem is that most are tweak specific. Hardly any offering multiple customization options. Ultimate Windows Customizer (UWC) is the first integrated freeware that offers you almost everything that can be customized in a Windows installation – well everything that matters, at least!
Once you have downloaded Ultimate Windows Customizer, unzip the contents, open the folder and click on UWC Setup file to start the installation. The installation is simple and there are no boxes to check/uncheck. It is completely clean, and like all our other Windows freeware does not include any of the hated toolbars or accompaniments. You can see the UWC Installation Screenshots here.
It is important to note that before running Ultimate Windows Customizer if you have tweaked your operating system either manually or by using any other software, we recommend that you reverse the changes first. This is due to the fact that upon First Run, UWC will generate backups of the Current Files and Registry Settings, to allow the user to revert back to Default. Due to the wide nature of Customizations, this is the only option to revert back to Default.
Once you are sure about this, create a System Restore Point first. Then you can go ahead and start customizing to your heart’s content!
The customization tweaks in Ultimate Windows Customizer have been classified into the following sections:
- Explorer
- Context Menus
- Libraries
- Logon Screen
- Start Orb
- Taskbar
- Miscellaneous
- Extra Settings
- Windows Media Player
Each section offers several customization tweaks relating to the function. It is really difficult to list the near-endless options being offered, but you can see all the UWC UI screenshots here. This will give you an idea.
Once you have customized your Windows, you may click on the Close button to exit UWC. You will be asked to log off or restart your computer or Explorer as the case may be.
Click on the appropriate button to allow the action to complete and the effects to take place.
If you face any errors, they will be recorded in the Error Log for easy troubleshooting. You can view the error log by clicking on the View Error Log in the Extras tab.
