Tweaking Levels
Most guides just provide the tweaks and leave you on your own to figure out which to use. For every step in this guide I provide my recommendation on who should use that particular tweak. I do this by assigning a "level #" to the tweak. Again, these are just recommendations. I've tried to provide a good explanation as to what every tweak does so that you can decide for yourself what you do/don't want to do. The levels provided in this guide are as follows:
*All Levels - Safe for everyone. The safest settings but not tweaked much.
Level 1 - It keeps XP pretty, but faster and a little more secure. Full functionality is maintained.
Level 2 - Faster still and a tad more secure. Not quite Level 3. Still pretty. Keeps the useful features around.
Level 3 - Very close to the settings I use. Tweaked hard. All the pretty and annoying stuff is gone. It’s much faster and much more secure. Aimed at those who want to run Windows their way.
Level 4 - For Gamers only. Level 3 with a few more tweaks aimed at gamers.
