Registry Tweaker for Windows

Tweak your system registry, easily discover system information, and perform a myriad of other registry related functions with this excellent freeware, which oddly lacks a password-protection measure. Registry Tweaker's sleek, clean, and well-designed interface categorically displays functions using a well-recognized tree structure.

Registry Tweaker's functions are too numerous to list, but they do include access restriction, system tweaks, and saving and restoring the full registry or select hives. The program's Internet Explorer Immunization tool to block cookies, domains, and ActiveX controls works well. You can even quickly change the Windows OS license key.

The help file is only available online and is directed at advanced users. Yet most system administrators will easily recognize the functions and their pros and cons. Functions are easily upgraded by downloading or altering the text-based database.

With such a powerful tool, we're not sure why it wasn't password-protected as similar applications are. This isn't a program for novices, but system administrators will greatly appreciate Registry Tweaker's open approach. This freeware is a must-have for any power user or administrator.
