Internet Explorer

Specify Default IE Download Directory - This tweak changes the default directory where downloads initiated in Internet Explorer are stored on the system.

[ Image ] Slipstream Windows 7 SP1 into Windows 7 - In Windows 7 this is known as 'Imaging' rather than slipstreaming, but the end result is essentially the same except with an image you can add updates, drivers, and applications to the image.
 
Windows 7 - Clean Installation - Based on Windows 7 Beta - Build 7000 - This is an old tutorial based on an early beta release of Windows 7 that should only be used as a research reference.
Windows 7 Installation Media - There appears to be quite a bit of confusion about the different types of media that can be used to install Windows 7. I'm not talking about the different versions like Home Premium, Professional, or Ultimate but the actual, physical media such as a DVD, .iso file, or a USB stick. This is just a little rundown of what is available to try and eliminate some of the confusion.

-  Important Information  -
The Elder Geek sites contain many articles and suggestions for modifying the Windows operating system. I've tried these tweaks and tips on many systems. Sometimes they work, sometimes not. The point is, ensure you have a current, tested backup of all system and data files and understand how to restore the system in case something goes very wrong. You can still yell at me, but I assume no responsibility for your actions and use of the information and disclaim any legal responsibility for any consequences of such actions.
