Why you should use Norton System Genie

Windows allows you some control over the user interface, such as letting you customize your desktop patterns and wallpaper. However, in many other areas, Windows is very inflexible. Norton System Genie can grant your wishes by adding a new level of customization to your Windows environment.

Norton System Genie knows a lot of shortcuts and tricks to help you get more out of Windows. Use System Genie to rename or hide Windows desktop items, change the way Windows context menus work, and determine how Windows shortens long filenames. In addition, Norton System Genie lets you modify how Windows displays icons, control which applications start when you double-click icons, and launch Microsoft Explorer automatically when you double-click My Computer.
