Get more out of Windows

 

Whatever version of Windows you use, there are ways to make it faster, more versatile, and more stable, and to customise it to your way of working.

 

The bundled utilities

 

Windows comes with a variety of bundled utilities, but these are often limited in their abilities. But you don't have to put up with that. There are many free utilities that improve on their default counterparts.

 

Customise Windows

 

There are many settings in Windows that can be customised, though not all can be changed from within the default Windows package. For our suggestions on tools to do the job, click on the Customise Windows button. Other buttons will give you access to our suggestions for areas of Windows that can benefit from customisation.

 

Better ways of working

 

We are also putting together hints that show you how to use Windows better. If you have a suggestion, please email it to the Webmaster.
