You don’t have to reboot or log out for the changes to take effect. Just kill the process explorer.exe (in the task manager) and then restart it.

Indeed Tweak UI is one of my fav. software as it gives you sooooo many options which you just can’t do without it. They all can be done by changing the registry entries but for new users….tweak UI is a better thing.

As far as this small utility goes…I think it should be doing the nice job….as you’ve recommended!
