Microsoft has increased both the power and complexity of its popular Windows operating system with the release of Windows Vista. The TweakVista™ tweaking utility helps you configure Windows Vista to meet your personal needs by improving performance and customizing system settings.
Unlike other power tools for Windows, TweakVista™ automatically prompts enhancement recommendations, offering easy “one click” updates to otherwise complex configuration changes. TweakVista™ is also safe to use. By utilizing Microsoft’s system-restore technology any changes you make can easily be rolled back. You can freely experiment with different settings without disabling your computer. Read More»

Jason I am utterly convinced there is something wrong with the space-time continuum and that an hour actually only lasts around 40 minutes. At the end of the day I’m left with the nagging question, where did it all go? Well, now you can find out, with a free Open Source utility called Personal Task Manager . It is a time-tracking tool and it looks just like the Windows Task Manager. It lists what you and your PC have been up to throughout the day, creating log and summary files, so you can look back over the past week and see how much time you’ve spent really working, taking lunch, or drinking cups of coffee. Come to think of it, it’s also just the job for suspicious bosses – I would check that it hasn’t already been installed on your office PC…

Jason Microsoft has updated the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility. With the Windows Installer CleanUp Utility, you can remove a program’s Windows Installer configuration information. You may want to remove the Windows Installer configuration information for your program if you experience installation (Setup) problems. For example, you may have to remove a program’s Windows Installer configuration information if you have installation problems when you try to add (or remove) a component of your program that was not included when you first installed your program.

Jason Does it ever seem as if the little squirrels inside your computer aren’t racing fast enough on their conveyor belt? Yeah, we’ve been there, too. Memory-hogging start-up programs, a hard drive that has not been defragged since a Democrat was in the White House, and that one nasty spyware app—all of them can really bog down Microsoft Windows XP. These days, even novices know about tweaking MSConfig, defragging, and installing Ad-Aware. Short of a complete reinstall or upgrading to Windows Vista, I have a few unusual methods that help give my PC a new zest for life.
We’ll start by killing memory-hungry processes; they’re the major speed-sucking culprit in Windows XP. Processes include applications, network services, and DLL (dynamic link library) files that control file access. Sysinternals’ free Process Explorer utility helps you see what is running on your system and lets you kill any processes that are slowing Windows XP to a crawl.

The same way you take care of your car,with its oil changes,tweaks and tune up you should take care of your pc.Your computer (specially your Operating System) need alot of care,it is constantly working by modifying files,sometimes those modifications cause errors which then your pc logs and starts to slow down your computer, same has with the registry when it gets cluttered and alot of other sections.These are some good free utilities I have found, I think they do a pretty good job but to tell you the truth I dont use any, I always say you can find freeware thats equally good to paywares if not better,it doesnt look like the case with this.
If you have any extra cash,I really would suggest you buy TuneUp Utilities,I use it on a daily basis and might post a review on it soon.
