No matter how much you love your OS, there are always things it
could do better, more efficiently, and more to your taste. With
freebie Pitaschio (yes, that's spelled correctly), making dozens of
Windows tweaks is as simple as checking boxes.
Tiny Pitaschio doesn't even use an installer; you just start the
program and get going. Oh, and there are some many ways you can go
with Pitaschio. You can snap windows to a grid. You can disable
troublesome keys like Caps Lock, Insert, and the Windows key. You
can disable minimize, maximize, and close buttons. Those are just a
few of the options on the main screen. From the buttons on that
screen, you can reach useful tools like Autoraise, which pulls any
window you mouse over to the top.
Perhaps the most useful tweaks are the mouse shortcuts, mouse
button and wheel combos that do different things according to where
the cursor lies and what you've set them to do. For instance: At
default, double-clicking the desktop brings up the screen saver,
and wheel-clicking a title bar minimizes a window. Each combo
offers a variety of selectable options, from turning off the
monitor to opening the Control Panel to changing virtual desktops.
Pretty much the only thing that gets me about this program is its
name, which I keep confusing with Pistachio--but never mind.
Pitaschio is as cool as ice cream.
