Ooo! Win 7 GODMODE by Toolpackinmama
This is cute: in 32 bit Win 7 you can 1) create a new folder 2) name it GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} .... and have a handy one-stop tweakin' shop. I just tried it and it works. There is a warning against trying this with 64 bit version.

Hi, Is there anyone that can help me? My mouse pointer enlarges after some time under Windows 7 and only a reboot helps. When looking on the internet I saw that there was an hotfix (http:// support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/ATICatalyst912Hotfix.aspx) which should fix this.
