TWEAKUI'S REPAIR FUNCTIONS
I have written before about Microsoft's Powertoys, and
in particular about the TweakUI tool, which when
installed will load a Control Panel applet that can be
used to provide all sorts of useful "tweaks" to
the Windows User Interface. Some of the useful functions
relate to repairing various aspects of Windows when it's
"broke." You get to TweakUI by clicking on the
Start button, then selecting Settings, clicking on
Control Panel, and double-clicking the TweakUI icon. This
presents a set of tabbed dialog boxes, one of which is
Repair. You will read "Tweak UI can attempt to
repair the following aspects of your system" and
below that is a roll-down menu which you access by
clicking on the little downward pointing arrow on the
righthand side. The various aspects are:
- Rebuild icons
- Repair associations
- Repair font folder
- Repair hot keys
- Repair Regedit
- Repair System Files
- Repair Temporary Internet files
When you select each of these items, you will get a
simple description of what it means in the section
labelled Description. If you choose to do one or more of
the repair functions, you do so by selecting a type of
repair and then clicking on the button labelled Repair
Now.
