Scan & Fix 50 registry issues FREECNET Editors' review
TweakNow PowerPack 2009 is a free set of tools that give you the power to tweak, modify, and personalize just about every aspect of Windows and your PC. It features a fully integrated suite of modular utilities. There's a Registry Cleaner module, a nice touch in freeware since so many of them cost more than they're worth, but there's also a Registry Defragmenter that reorganizes things for speedier performance. The Windows Secrets module gives you access to more than 100 hidden Windows settings. The Virtual Desktop module lets you run as many as four different virtual desktops at once, so you can try out a wide range of looks and configurations, or keep separate desktops for work and play.
The icon-driven interface is the sort we love: simple, intuitive, and reasonably attractive in a Vista-ish way. It basically just lists its utilities in the left-hand pane, and the selected application displays in the main window. Selecting, for example, Miscellaneous Tools calls up a selection of icons for some interesting extras, including a RAM Optimizer, CD AutoRun and Auto Shutdown managers, a Process Manager, and the Virtual Desktop module. The System Information and Startup modules make it easy to manage Windows' start-up, which too easily gets gummed up with unnecessary programs. Icons simplify adding shortcuts to your favorite modules.
TweakNow PowerPack 2009 is free. New versions have enhanced support for Windows 7. Support for Google's Chrome has also been added the Track Cleaner module, which erases browsing traces and other digital footprints.

And when it load it says CV.TweakNow Indonesia, what does it mean?? The sites doesn't have forum and tech support can only reach by email.. Not good for me.

"Great tool for really personalising your whole computer"
Version: TweakNow PowerPack 2009 1.7.2
Pros
Have been looking for something like this for a while. Not only can you personalise your entire computer to suit you, but you can clean fix edit and restore everything in your system
Cons
Apart from not completely understanding every little detail in this program i can honestly say i dont think i can find much to complain about
-
"It's great, no frills or complecated language."
Version: TweakNow PowerPack 2009 1.7.2
Pros
It gets down to the job in hand with no messing, and is very quick. The interface is well laid out and user freindly, but more importantly it gets the job done.
Cons
No real cons apart from the fact that just a little more info and direction or recomendations would not go amiss but this is by no means a negative.
Summary
This again is one of the best out there I have gone through quite a few even from CNET, I wish I had found it earlier. Many of them out there do not do the job they say until you pay for an upgrade they only tell you whats wrong.
This one DOES THE JOB, it not only finds the problems that others miss but it sorts them out. My pc now runs better and more quicker. Thank you Tweak Now and CNET well done Great Product. -
"This product produced a noticable difference in my PC"
Version: TweakNow PowerPack 2009 1.7.2
Pros
Very easy to load & use a good program
Cons
Program is free which is why it does only so much
-
"Great Software"
Version: TweakNow PowerPack 2009 1.7.2
Pros
Not being too computer literate, I found this to be easy to use. I have an ancient system that used to get locked up all the time. This "Tweak" really cleans, defrags utilizes memory better with my most ancient of days computer.
Cons
It would help to have information/recommendations regarding what the performance/assistance with each file instead of having to navigate through the help file. This would enable me to choose what settings would best fit my system.
Summary
I would definitely recommend this program. It is efficient and out performed the CCleaner I replaced with this "Tweak".

"Definitely useful"
Version: TweakNow PowerPack 2009 1.7.2
Pros
This product is really easy to use, and I find the ability to play with my desktop is almost reason enough to keep it. Also, anyone who wants add virtual workspaces will find this one of the better options on CNet.
Cons
I'm running Server 2003, so that might be the problem in and of itself, but it occasionally has error messages and minor problems.
Summary
RAM optimizer works pretty well, I can tweak my taskbar, I can change my startup list...This is a good deal for free.
