Otherwise you will have a memory leak.

Doing so will dispose objects used by other code and may cause your application or page to crash.

You can download the SharePoint Dispose Checker Tool from MSDN code library.

If you change any of these files, Microsoft may refuse to support your SharePoint installation.

The only thing you can change is to alter the Hidden attribute of Template elements in the default webtemp.xml file to hide or show the built-in site definitions.

Start developing without these tools to learn how to create features, solutions, webparts, and event handlers, before you turn to tools to automate the process for you. This way you learn how to fix problems that may arise and you also learn how to tweak the automated code to do your bidding.

For example, you can teach one of your solutions to play dead, or roll over. I am really good at that.
