Theres plenty of tweaks i can do manually

Where could i run a batch file or how in run once (example command and location?)?

As it says...

I can run dos commands yes?

Like ive added folders to the all users start up menu

md C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Optimizers

This will work yes?

One thing id like to do is make a folder shorcut on the taskbar, to a security folder in program files.

What else could i do to make quick unattended performance boosts???

What examples do u do?
