Tweak7 - Easily Change Windows Settings

Introduction

Tweak7^™ is designed to be the ultimate one-stop tweaking utility for Windows 7 users. It contains dozens of features that encompass nearly every conceivable system tweaking option desired. What makes Tweak7 particularly special is that it is not just designed for power users. Instead, its features have been carefully crafted for casual, non-technical users as well. All users can now comfortably configure advanced features in clearly labeled, easy to understand language.

Tweak7 was inspired and designed by computer technicians to provide a utility that helps solve problems. Tweak7's key features include performance optimizing, start-up program management, program identification, benchmarking, security tweaking, Cost of Use reports, Carbon Footprint analysis and user profiles.

Tweak7 includes:

Security Handling

Users can now easily and safely adjust the way Windows handles security prompting including UAC (User Account Control)

Start-Up Management

Tweak7 not only will display and enable users to control what programs are loading on start-up but will identify in plain English what these programs do. Internet integration in the software allows users to comment on these processes within the program to one another.

Services View

This feature allows users to view services and start/stop/disable directly from within Tweak7. Services also are now also support by the Get Info button to learn more about a particular service before making changes to your system.

Host Process for Windows View

Tweak7 will now display what services are running inside of the mysterious "Host Processes for Windows" processes that show up in Task Manager. This will help users determine what services are taking up memory, what those services are and combined with the new Services Tab allow them to disable unnecessary services on the computer.

Locked File Information

Tweak7 can tell you what process has a file locked. A locked file is a computer file that cannot be altered. Normal users of such files cannot alter the information they contain, change their location, or alter their names. Often this is caused by a program opening a file as an exclusive read. This means that the file cannot be deleted or edited. Tweak7 can tell you what program has the file locked. By stopping the process that has the file locked, users can regain access to these locked files.

Snapshots

Not to be confused with Microsoft's System Restore Points (also unofficially called snapshots) this feature of Tweak7 allows users to determine "what changed" from a software perspective on their PC. This feature will help users pinpoint applications that are running since the last snapshot. Typically, users install favorite applications on their computers right after purchase. Applications that load as hidden components of installations or software the user is just test driving are often the source of issues.

The snapshot feature helps with these "unknown" applications to pinpoint misbehaving applications; all applications installed later will be highlighted for the user in the Tweak7 interface. The key difference between a system restore point and Tweak7 armed with snapshots is that users can "undo" changes in a more granular way. With system restore points moving between each restore point is an all-or-nothing proposition. With Tweak7 users can control the configuration of their computer on a much more granular level undoing and redoing settings quickly and easily.
