CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

This small utility promises to improve your computer's performance, though its scope is quite limited compared to other system-tweaking programs. Installing Windows XP Tweaks isn't a big deal, but it doesn't have an interface to house optimization tools. The program automatically changes a few system settings, such as disabling the Windows Messenger and Indexing Services and changing a few Registry keys to force kernel loading to memory. In our tests, we found a slight improvement in our system but an increase in memory usage, and that proved to be the extent of this program's functionality. Novices will be left dumbfounded about the changes made, and advanced users will be disappointed with the limited feature set and lack of control over changes. Despite the fact that this program is free, a lot of other system-tweaking programs can offer users a wider set of features and the ability to selectively apply changes.

Publisher's description

Windows XP Tweaks will make Windows XP more responsive and less irritating by performing the following system tweaks: * Loads the kernel (Windows XP system core) into physical memory instead of virtual memory - Note: Physical memory (RAM) is many times faster then virtual memory. * Forces Windows XP to use more physical memory * Disables the Indexing service - Improves Windows XP performance * Disables the Messenger service.
