Publisher's description of TuneXP

From DriverHeaven:

This radical, new tool is one of the best and most powerful Windows XP tweakers ever, having a few tweaks, which are unique to the program. Among them are: ultrafast boot (rearrange boot files); boot folder defragmentation; prefetch folder cleaning; DNS cache optimization; and file allocation size tweak. However, that isn't all. It includes a plethora of other performance tweaks, which will make your Windows installation run faster than ever before, as well as Windows Service configuration. For the first time ever, it allows the user to control a few of the most common performance suckers and annoyances.

Version 1.5 has a few major fixes to its code, as well as new tweaks (USB polling and what now).

Although it might be a bit too technical for average folks, this tiny, free utility nonetheless offers a helpful set of optimization tools for more advanced users of Windows XP. TuneXP's interface is certainly no beauty, but since all of its tools are accessible via menu items, it's simple enough to operate. The Memory and File System section lets you perform tweaks such as accelerating DLL unloading and defraging boot files. The other system tools are organized into categories such as Internet, Hardware, and Services. While many of the program's features will go over the heads of those who aren't technically inclined, we're glad the help files fully explain what each part of the program does. Best of all, TuneXP is totally free, making it a fine pick for those who suspect their OS could be in better shape than it currently is.

  "Turn your XP system into a Ferrari !!!"

  by Smoaky on June 4, 2006

  Pros: Great tune-up tool for Windows XP. Although not geared towards the novice,it's useful help section will guide you through all the extensive "tweaks" that you can perform on your PC. One of the most useful tools for all of you out there that has to go thru two cups of coffee before your comp boots up, is a tweak to speed up your boot times, and shut down times. It works quite well along with the other tune-ups. If your XP system is been running out of gas lately,try this beauty out and get your PC back to running smoother and faster again.

  Cons: Be careful what you tweak. Make sure to read the help files before doing any changes. It does however suggest what you should do or not do.

  "Don't try and fix a problem that's not there!"

  by graphix_boy on April 2, 2005

  Pros: Good program for advanced users who like to keep their computer runing at its optimum level, but for home users who do not understand the technical jargon of computing i advise to stay away. Very simple and easy to use.

  Cons: It is very simple to create a problem with your computer which you didn't have before, due to the advanced options. So tred carefully.

  "It works....."

  by praveen360 on March 5, 2006

  Pros: The MS-DOS System Commands are given in a nice Interface.

  A Useful HELP (Documentation) is given for HOME users... which explains what the commands are used for & how they work 7 going to effect the System Performance.

  Cons: A simple System Tweak User Interface Program....so there can't be any Cons as these Commands are executed by the Operating systems & it does not have any Negative or Side Effects.
