Buy – Tweaking Windows 8.1 PDF

Buy – Tweaking Windows 8.1 Printable PDF
You can get a printable version of TweakHound’s – Tweaking Windows 8.1 (120+ pages) for $5.00 (U.S.). (I also threw in a few extra helpful things)
Please note the content of this guide is no different than the online version. I have simply formatted it in Word to make it easy for printing.
You may not redistribute the guide. To protect the document there is no content extraction allowed.

The file you will get is a PDF file (viewable/printable in Adobe Reader, FoxIt Reader, etc.).
This is available through PayPal or Amazon only!(You do not need a PayPal account account, just a credit card.)
(Please note that I will not make other payment options available)

Once payment is received I will email you the guide or a download link.
Please allow up to 48hrs. although I will usually send it faster.
On occasion I do not get notified of purchases. If you do not hear from me in 48 hours please forward your Paypal/Amazon email to me.
You are responsible for monitoring your email. If your paypal email address is through any free email other than Gmail I highly suggest putting another email in the comment box.
Under no circumstances will I click on a link to be “approved” or “added” to your email. This practice is quite rude.
Click the button below to purchase.


Pay with PAYPAL:

FAQ’s In all these years only one person has complained. No, it is not a hardcopy. See the part where it says “printable”? (Yes, they actually thought I was going to snail mail them a hardcopy for $5.) Once you purchase the guide you get updates of following versions for free. *** I do not keep your personal info on file. Therefore it is up to you to contact me with your original purchase info (at least name and email) so that I can send you the latest version. Why am I charging for the guide? I pay for the bandwidth for this site out of my own pocket. Not to mention the software, hardware, and other things that go into making this site possible. I figure $5 is a pretty good deal for all this material. At your local book store a magazine containing a fraction of this info would run 10-15 dollars. Besides, the online version is always available and always free!

classicshell_new

classicshell_newClassic Shell version 4.0.2 is out.
Download
Classic Shell has been around for nearly 4 years.
It has recently attracted attention from a wider audience because of its Start Menu addon/replacement called Classic Start Menu.
IMHO it is the best freeware Windows 8 start menu program.

Version 4.0.2 general release (Oct, 2013):
Quick fix for the taskbar showing up on top of fullscreen programs under some conditions
Version 4.0.1 general release (Oct, 2013):
New setting to hide Metro apps from the Programs folder
Improved compatibility with the final build of Windows 8.1
Minor bugfixes

Bad Tweak – Using ProfilesDirectory Setting

October 19, 2013, 12:36(EDT) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

win8logo

win8logoEd Bott has an excellent post up: Don’t move your Windows user profiles folder to another drive
I’ve always advocated moving your My Documents / Libraries folder to a drive or partition. The method I’ve always suggested is using the Microsoft supported method of using “Move”. See: Move Your Libraries
It seems somewhere there are tweaks being posted that involve moving your Profile folder using the ProfilesDirectory setting. The downside of using this unsupported tweak is “Using this setting to redirect folders to a drive other than the system volume blocks upgrades.” as folks who used this tweak and tried to upgrade to 8.1 just found out. See the article listed above for more info. Well done Ed.
