Ultimate Windows Tweaker is a freeware Tweak UI Utility for tweaking and optimizing Windows Vista, 32-bit & 64-bit. It can simply be downloaded and used as a portable application to customize your Windows Vista to meet your requirements. With judicious tweaking, It can make your system faster, more stable, and more secure with just a few mouse clicks. The tweaker detects whether you have IE 7 or IE 8 installed and accordingly offers you the relevant tweaks only. This Tweaker was released at the Microsoft South Asia MVP Meet 2008.

Most options aren't very handy because they're obvious settings but I like the "additional options" tab. It's about time it got ported to Vista.
 
Just like TweakUI for XP, it's handy for me because all of the tweaks are in a centralized location. And a lot of the tweaks (not only those under 'Additional Options') could otherwise only be manipulated via the registry or the Group Policy Editor.
 
Since IExplorer 8 Final was just officially released, I just wanted to let everyone that's not familiar with TweakUI for Vista (and even those that are) know that it's also compatible with the newest browser.

Changes:
-UI has been revamped and now you’ll get more Windows Vista style dialogs.
-Recoded internal methods for Service Optimization, that enable it to start and stop Windows Services instantly.
-Empty Icon detached to make the it 100% portable. In last release “Remove arrow from shortcut icons” refers a blank icon from executable.
-Track bars in system performance show the real values in info tip. That make possible to know the exact current value.

Known Issue:
- Please don’t detach Empty Icon from executable’s root, the Empty Icon is copied to system directory and referred in runtime.
