LastOS 8 Extras 2012.08.20:
This is a collection of the Tools & Tweaks/Settings I like to have after a clean install of Windows 8, it contains only open source and freeware software.
It will offer choices for most things included before automating the job for you. Currently there is no way to Activate Windows 8, but I have included some tools to hide the Watermarks and to customize the Start Screen.
Please feel free to share this or mod this to suit your own needs, I am just doing my part to get Windows 8 configured perfectly for more users.
- NOTE: I am not responsible for any problems that may occur from using any of the tools included, make sure to backup your important documents before tweaking your system.
