#12 advice on how to change installed program directory
TWEAK uses whatever default directory is set in Windows
to install programs to, as set in the environment
variable %PROGRAMFILES%. But it assumes programs are
installed to just their program directory name, for
example %PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla rather than the uglier
%PROGRAMFILES%\Mozilla.org\Mozilla. If people have
installed to the latter they will need to amend TWEAK
to work with their location
Thus they should replace all instances of
'%PROGRAMFILES%\program-name' with
'%PROGRAMFILES%\alternate-program-name' in all .bat
files, preferably using an appropriate plain text
editor that will perform this kindof wildcard change.
It may be possible to add a TWEAK feature to modify
itself in just this way, using Perl script

It might be worth having a global environment variable
definition for each installed directory of each application
which people can easily change. Or a list in a .INI type file
