Reviewed by: CNET staff on September 02, 2009
You'll find this user-friendly toolbox of optimizing utilities a handy package if you're a home user with low-security issues. Nicely designed with quick performance, this bundle of goodies will be appropriate for most noncommercial system users.
Ultimate Windows Tweaker launches a simple but nicely designed interface for selecting optimization options for your system. It offers a two-paned window: the left, vertical pane lists the categories of options, and the right, larger pane displays the check boxes and drop-down menus associated with the category selected in the vertical pane. This free toolbox performed nicely in our tests. The check-box format for selecting options to activate or disable is straightforward and easy to understand, and leaves behind any ambiguity that a novice might encounter in a more robust toolbox. The categories for options follow a logical arrangement suitable for most home users: system information, personalization, user accounts and user account control, system performance, security settings, network tweaks, Internet Explorer, and more. We liked the buttons included with each option category for Create Checkpoint and Restore Defaults, which help to reassure novices that any changes can be reversed.
Intermediate and experienced users will probably want a more robust optimizer with more bells and whistles, but this is a good introductory toolbox that offers a strong string of fundamental Windows tweaks that any user should be familiar with.

Version: Ultimate Windows Tweaker 2.0
Pros: It has a lot of settings that can be tweaked, including the welcome screen.
Cons: It could have a way to change icons in the device stage. My MS Arc Mouse icon is black, and I want it to be red like my mouse.
Summary: It's a great tweaker, and I'm not at all worried about it flagging my copy of Windows as not genuine, because I know I can call Microsoft and have it sorted out if there's a problem. :)

"Alright after sorting out initial problems"
Pros: Multiple tweaks
Cons: For some reason my computer seized up after install. After reboot everything worked ok
Summary: The only problem I have with the software is not knowing why it locked up to the point I had to remove the battery to shut the computer down. After reboot everything was alright. The computer is a fairly new HP so I doubt that was a problem. Maybe V... read more >>
