TweakVista


Microsoft has increased both the power and complexity of its popular Windows operating system with the release of Windows Vista. Stardock’s TweakVista enhancement application helps you configure Windows Vista to meet your personal needs by improving performance.
 
Unlike other power tools for Windows, TweakVista automatically prompts enhancement recommendations, offering easy “one click” updates to otherwise complex configuration changes. TweakVista is also safe to use. By utilizing Microsoft’s system-restore technology any changes you make can easily be rolled back.

TweakVista is a software tool for Windows Vista that allows modification of various OS-specific functions, most notably the settings surrounding the Desktop Window Manager, User Account Control and startup programs. The first beta versions were released in July 2005, with a complete overhaul released in June 2007. It is made by Stardock and co-distributed by Advanced PC Media LLC.

  • Security Handling. Users can now easily and safely adjust the way Windows handles security prompting including the new UAC (User Account Control)
  • Performance Assessments. TweakVista uses the new Windows Vista assessment features to benchmark nearly every aspect of a user’s PC and allow them to submit their results for comparison with other users of similar or upgraded hardware.  Reports indicate where the user's PC ranks amongst other submissions.
  • TweakVista.com integration. TweakVista partners the software development skills of Stardock with the on-going tweak expertise of TweakVista.com to provide an on-going live database of helpful tips and tricks for maximizing the Windows Vista experience.
  • Snapshots (new in v1.1). Not to be confused with Microsoft's System Restore Points (also unofficially called snapshots) this new feature of TweakVista allows users to determine "what changed" from a software perspective on their PC. This new feature will help users pinpoint applications that are running since the last snapshot. Typically, users install favorite applications on their computers right after purchase.
