#$+KSave a file without a default extension
To save a document with an extension other than the one the program wants to use, enclose the name in quotation marks.  For example, if you run Notepad and save a file under the name
	Dr.Z
it will actually be saved under the name Dr.Z.txt.  But if you type
	"Dr.Z"
then the document will be saved under the name Dr.Z.
This is a feature, so that you can name a document
	Letter to Dr. Johnson
and it will be saved as "Letter to Dr. Johnson.txt" so that the document will be properly associated with Notepad.  Otherwise, the extension would be "Johnson", which is not a great idea.
#$+KUse another program to play audio CDs

#$+KUncluttering your desktop
To remove the clutter from your desktop, you can remove icons from the desktop and create them as files.  You can then put these files into folders and organize them in whatever manner you think best.
Beware that some icons behave strangely when created as files.
#$+KHiding desktop icons from other users
Suppose you want to let your young children use the computer, but don't want the Inbox on their desktop, because they might double-click on it and mess up your mail.  After creating a separate login for your kids and configuring the system to use a different desktop for each user, you can delete the Inbox from the system-wide desktop, then create the Inbox as a file on your private desktop.  When you log in, you get an Inbox on your desktop, but your kids don't.
Beware that some icons behave strangely when created as files.
#$+KDeleting files without confirmation
Hold down the shift key while pressing the Delete key or dragging the file to the Recycle Bin to suppress the confirmation warning and delete the file irretrievably instead of sending it to the Recycle Bin.
#$+KPutting special icons onto the Start Menu
Go to the Desktop page and select the Control Panel.  Click "Create As File", then browse to your Start Menu folder.  (The Start Menu folder is a subfolder of your Windows folder.)
When you save the Control Panel as a file into the Start Menu, the icon in the Start Menu will have a triangle next to it.  If you highlight the icon, the menu will open into a submenu listing all your Control Panel applets.
This trick also works for the Printers and Dial-Up Networking icons.
#$+KTemplate Troubleshooter
This troubleshooter helps you solve problems creating a new document template.  To create a new document template, drop it into the template area.
What message did you receive when you tried to create a template?
{button , JumpId(MISC_TEMPLATE_0)}	"Drop only one file at a time, please."
{button , JumpId(MISC_TEMPLATE_1)}	"No application is associated with this file."
{button , JumpId(MISC_TEMPLATE_2)}	"Overwrite the existing template with this file?"
{button , JumpId(MISC_TEMPLATE_3)}	"Unable to copy the file to the templates folder."
{button , JumpId(MISC_TEMPLATE_4)}	"Templates cannot be created for this document type."

#$"Drop only one file at a time, please."
Tweak UI can create only one document template at a time. 
Workaround:  Drop files one at a time instead of dropping several.

#$"No application is associated with this file."
The file type was not recognized.
Workaround:  Create an association for the file type by following these steps.
1.	Click here {bmc shortcut.bmp} to open My Computer.
2.	On the View menu, click Options, and then click the File Types tab.
3.	Click "New Type".
4.	Specify a description for the file type and the filename extension associated with this type of file.
5.	Click "New" to define an action for this file type.
6.	Specify the action that you want to define, such as Open or Print, and the command that should run to complete this action.
7.	Exit the File Types dialog.
8.	Exit and restart Tweak UI so that Tweak UI will recognize the new file type.

#$"Overwrite the existing template with this file?"
There is already a template defined for the file type.
Workaround:  If you wish the file you dropped to become the new template for the file type, answer "Yes".  The old template will be lost forever if you choose to overwrite it.

#$"Unable to copy the file to the templates folder."
There was an error copying the file into the templates folder.  Tweak UI doesn't tell you what sort of error actually happened; that's left for you to figure out.  Hey, you get what you pay for.
Workaround:  Make sure the file exists and that you have permission to copy it.  Check also that there is not already a file in your ShellNew folder with the same name.

#$"Templates cannot be created for this document type."
Windows has been given special knowledge of this document type.  (For example, it may have been a shortcut file or an application file.)  Creating a simple template would be inadvisable.
Workaround:  If you had dropped a shortcut file, drop the target of the shortcut instead.

#$+KIf Explorer opens unwanted folders when Windows starts
Explorer normally re-opens all folders that were open the last time you shut down or logged off Windows normally.
1.	Close all Explorer windows.
2.	From the Start menu, click Shut Down.
3.	Select "Close all programs and log on as a different user" and click Yes.
4.	Log back on.
{button , JumpId(MISC_EXITSAVE_1)}	That didn't work.  The folders were reopened anyway.

#$Saved Explorer settings aren't being restored
Make sure that you have enabled "Save settings" on the Explorer property page of Tweak UI.  If "Save settings" is disabled, then Windows will restore the desktop to its state the last time you shut down or logged off Windows while the "Save settings" option was enabled.
{button , JumpId(MISC_EXITSAVE_2)}	That didn't work.  The folders were reopened anyway.

#Explorer opens unwanted folders even if "Save settings" is enabled
You may have shortcuts to folders in your Startup folder.
1.	Right-click the Start button and click Open.
2.	Double-click the Programs folder.
3.	Double-click the Startup folder.
4.	Remove unwanted shortcuts from the Startup folder.

#$+KConsequences of hiding Network Neighborhood
Since shell support for the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) notation is handled by the Network Neighborhood, hiding the Network Neighborhood icon will prevent Explorer from accessing resources via UNCs.  In order to access network resources from Explorer, you need to map them to a drive letter.  Note that the MS-DOS command prompt and other applications are not affected by this setting, because they do not use the Network Neighborhood to resolve UNCs.
In particular, hiding the Network Neighborhood prevents Direct Cable Connection from displaying the contents of the host computer. Aside from this, Direct Cable Connection functions normally.

If you do not have permission to alter the list of drives that appear in My Computer, then the "My Computer" tab will not be shown.
No "Boot" tab

2.	Select the "Startup/Shutdown" tab to display the Windows NT BOOT.INI editor.
No "Repair Associations Now" button
Tweak UI does not currently support repairing standard icons and associations under Windows NT.
Some settings do not take effect

#$+KKWindows 95 and Windows 98 issues
Enabling "Prefix to" setting doesn't seem to work
Tweak UI can disable the prefix on the fly, but in order to re-enable it, you must log out and back in.
Tweak UI will have difficulty adjusting the "Prefix to" setting until you log out and back in.
Shortcut arrow keeps coming back
If you set the shortcut overlay to None, you may find that the arrows come back after you change your desktop appearance.
Workaround:  Go to the Repair tab and select "Rebuild Icon Cache Now".

#$+Icons which behave strangely when created as files
The Microsoft Network created as a file acts strangely
Inbox created as a file acts strangely

#$+KThe Microsoft Network created as a file acts strangely
The Microsoft Network was not designed to be created as a file, although it mostly works.
The Microsoft Network assumes that the only place its icon can possibly exist is on the desktop as a special desktop icon.  If you right-click the The Microsoft Network icon-as-file, you will see two Delete commands. The first Delete command (beneath the "Send To" command) removes the The Microsoft Network special desktop icon, not the created-as-file icon you right-clicked. The second Delete command (beneath "Create Shortcut") is the standard delete command which actually deletes the item you clicked on.  Neither actually uninstalls The Microsoft Network; to do that, use the Add/Remove Programs icon in the Control Panel.
Workaround:  Do not use the first Delete command (beneath the "Send To" command).  Only use the second Delete command (beneath "Create Shortcut").
#$+KInbox created as a file acts strangely
Inbox was not designed to be created as a file, although it mostly works.
When you ask to see its properties, Inbox is unable to make its properties coexist with the standard properties provided by Explorer, so it creates a separate property dialog.
Workaround:  Ignore the extra property dialog.
#$+Tweak UI version 1.32.
