Major Windows Tweaking
So before I start I should mention that this may be a bit stupid, and is definitely more of a convenience tweak then a practical or useful project.
I would like to have a setup that in some ways is kind of like a single user version of windows. By that I mean that applications are stored under %USERPROFILE%\Applications. Obviously, I can't just change the registry values to point at that directory and call it a day, I would need to deal with 64bit vs 32bit programs. I don't intend on letting that be a problem for any applications I install, however all the system applications have a 32 bit version and a 64 bit one. That begs the question, what happens if I just delete the 32 bit ones? Would everything crash and burn or would I be fine? Assuming everything would break, is there anyway that I can 'trick' installers into installing new programs into %USERPROFILE%\Applications while the system still knows how to use applications installed into %USERPROFILE%\Applications\System\64x and %USERPROFILE%\Applications\System\86x. I think you understand roughly what I'm going for even if you think its really stupid.
My next question is does anyone know if there are any good replacement control panel(organized nicely, not including godmode), or is that not possible?
