interesting... downloading now.

since you're the author? is it ok to post bug reports here/PM them to you?

it works, allows some amusing tweaks.. not too many must haves, but certainly useful.

anyone who recognises that bear, will know he doesnt belong in vista...

LawrenceAlbert · Dec 10, 2007

Please feel free to post if there's a bug in the program...
I'll fix it as soon as possible...

It will help the next version of Winbubble...
Thank you very much!

Jimmy 2004 · Dec 10, 2007

Looks very interesting - I might give it a try. I personally prefer to do my tweaks manually so I know exactly what's being done if I need to reverse it, but this would probably be good for normal users that don't like doing all that stuff.

It's something about TPU.
Users are always ready to help and are rarely abrasive.
Until you start to get to know each other then anything goes.

LawrenceAlbert · Dec 10, 2007

Thanks!
I've created WinBubble because of the questions and difficulties I encountered while creating a blog regarding tweaks, customization and hacks in Windows Vista.

I want all Vista user's to experience how to tweak their Computers.
Not only nerds but for ALL...

Mussels · Dec 24, 2007

interesting tweaks - could you describe the one for increasing network bandwidth, and any potential downsides? i've been doing my best to max out my gigabit network here.

LawrenceAlbert · Dec 26, 2007

It will increase the number of Internet Connections per server to 10
instead of 2 (default)

Enjoy!

Mussels · Dec 27, 2007

So... it only affects internet explorer?

Sorry but thats a little misleading, as it doesnt help network bandwidth at all.
(thats a well known old tweak, that only increases download speeds in IE)

LawrenceAlbert · Jan 5, 2008

Network - LAN/WAN
WAN - Wide Area Network (It includes the internet...)

*This tweak only affects the internet connections (TCP) between the user and the server.
