cool list, but win8 will not be my primary os until the RC

There is no hate, only joy
For you are beloved by the goddess
Hero of the dawn, Healer of worlds

Dreams of the morrow hath the shattered soul
Pride is lost
Wings stripped away, the end is nigh

Very, it's a early Touch UI version of it. The grouping is very bad, I clicked one X and it closed a whole group of important services without any kind of warning.

I think we need a Mod\Admin to maintain a list like this, and lock it down so only verified tweaks can be posted. That way if someone is interested in knowing if a new tweak comes out, they'll get an email about that and not about every small comment made to it about how this tweak doesn't work or how something isn't right.
Kinda like the FTP listing page.

Doing that would also help make writing SUPER TOOLS project a bit easier. I don't want to add in a tweak only to find that it doesn't work.

Your posts are everywhere and just made the forum messy. This is nice and contained in one post - what you should have done in the first place. Thanks TechDudeGeorge, we needed this.

And now your dissing me? Well maybe you don't want me updating the forum with the most recent Windows 8 news do you? People don't read the same topic over and over again. i like to see people's responces when I post a new topic.

It wasn't a "diss" as you so maturely said, it's just my opinion. I'd rather see one topic that I could favorite and go back to every once and a while then see a whole bunch of topics that really only help in boosting one's post count and cluttering up the forum more so than anything else.
That's just my $0.02, though.

Derp. MY HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion doesn't even have a key for "TaskUI," so I created one with the corresponding key and nada. TaskUI looks like Task Manager always has

Nice list, all in 1 place.

@anthonyboone:
That is because you are still running the regular taskmanager.
You need to run TaskUI.EXE.

I will keep it up-to-date... and I will try and test the tweaks before adding them. So before I post them just give me screenshot so I know they work. The mods have too much other stuff to do I'm guessing so I'll try and keep it up to date.

EDIT: I also just added a link to m1phun.

I got everything working except the task manager. I go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Software > Microsoft > Windows > Current Version but the TaskUI key is not there. So I created one and made a subkey with value 1 but still nothing. Any ideas?

Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows \CurrentVersion\TaskUI
When you are there, just click TaskUI so you have it selected. Then, anywhere on the white space to the right, right-click and choose "DWORD (32-bit) Value" and name it to "TaskUIEnabled". Right click on "TaskUIEnabled", press "Modify" and then just type in "1" (don't use "").

Open the start menu, search to "TaskUI" and run it. Hope it works. I did like this so it should work.
Windows 8 is gonna be awesome!

Can't wait to try this when I install Win8! I think someone should sticky this.
