CNET Editors' review
From installation to operation this tweaking application fails to impress. Free System Tweaker is free only if you agree to install another program. The program's sleek button and information window interface uses too many clicks for the simple functions. The Help manual is as needlessly convoluted.
Operating Free System Tweaker is made easier by the program's limitations. All Drive, Input, and System Health functions are disabled. Visual options make simple changes to your resolution, wallpaper, and system colors. The application isn't as robust as Windows own Properties function. Start Menu commands also fall short of Windows functions. Internet Explorer tweaks are little more than those offered in the browser's options. System Info is less than found reading your normal system properties.
We found no improvement with the completely unexplained Optimize button. Free System Tweaker doesn't deserve to be called free and it doesn't offer more than standard Windows options. Skip this unimpressive program.

"Not very functional"
Version: Free System Tweaker 4.5.0.1

The program does not operate properly in Windows 7. Don't waste your time or money. To run different aspects of the program you have to pay to upgrade the program which would not be bad if the program worked properly.
