"Improved boot time"
Version: TuneXP 1.5
Pros
The boot time on this mature XP system has definitely Improved. Noticeably. It's not like new out of the box, but of course there's more installed and running than that.
Cons
Could be more explanation as to what it's doing.

"The simple things in XP"
Version: TuneXP 1.5
Pros
The raw, simple tweaks that actually worked throughout the life of XP are in this. Simple install. Remember to stick to what you know.
Cons
I would have liked to see one or two tweaks more customizable but, for the most part, that would be overkill.
Summary
There are only a few common tweaks in XP and later MS OSs that actually make any noticeable improvement. Ignore hard-core tweakers unless they know your set-up inside and out; this does the few simple changes to make things a little smoother, particularly on older hardware. Again, stick to what you know. This is totally free and is not a residual-runtime app. Make the changes and that's it.

"excellent little program"
Version: TuneXP 1.5
Pros
I installed this on Vista only to move the boot files and it worked as advertised. It made a massive improvement in my boot time.
Cons
The only issue is when first starting, it says something about not finding files to start, but you just click OK and away you go. I don't really hold this against the program because it is not certified for Vista in the first place.
Summary
Try it out, I'm sure you'll like it

"SWEET !!!!!!!! Really awesome product !"
Version: TuneXP 1.5
Pros
This is one of the, if not the best program that is out there to fix slow booting issues, and best of all; its FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE !!!
Cons
There was nothing that I could find that I didnt like about the product, as others have said (and agree) you have to know what you are doing before clicking on this and that.
Summary
My desktop was taking forever for the past few days to loadup after reboot (nearly 2 minutes) for just my desktop items to load, taskbar etc. Even my themes were being automatically turned off on me until I went into services to have to turn them back on only to have it happen again a while later on following reboots. Ive googled several sites on how to fix the issues I was having without absolute results. Without realizing I had this issue, I happened to create a restore point with my paragon backup program (by the way is also a very good and useful programming ... saved me from being the king of OS reformates). In just about 5-10 minutes of time versus the past couple of days of trying to figure out the solution to the problems I was having, this fixed them all so far so good.

"Add to your Tweak COLLECTION, but you'll need others."
Version: TuneXP 1.5
Pros
A few tweaks are unique to this little tool, but some are useless (e.g. UDMA-66) for newer machines (i.e. with SATA drives).
Cons
Hardly the most comprehensive tool, but keep it in your toolbox... for legacy machines/purposes. Try the following 3 (the first one is a real powerhouse): NirSoft Utilities, TweakNow, PowerToys/TweakUI for XP.
Summary
You'll want to get the following: NirSoft Utilities, TweakNow, PowerToys/TweakUI for XP.
