Tweak7 Walkthrough
Thursday, October 29, 2009 by Island Dog | Discussion: Personal Computing
Tweak7 was released this week. If you are Windows 7, and I recommend that you should be, Tweak7 will quickly prove to be one of the must have applications. Lets take a visual walkthrough of Tweak7 and highlight just some of its features. Today we will focus on Resources and Misc. Tweaks.
You can get more info at www.tweak7.com.
Resources
The Resources section lets you manage all types of items that could be using up precious resources. The screenshot above shows the start up programs running. Not only does it show you the name of the entry, clicking the question mark button will give you a detail explanation of what that item is. Then you can have an informed decision on whether to disable or keep it.
Tweak7 can also show you what Services are running. You can review the Services in Tweak7 and turn off ones that are not needed.
Misc. Tweaks
Tweak7 also has a bunch of additional tweaks in the Misc. Tweaks section.
How annoying is it to have a locked file and not know what process is locking it? Well just drag and drop the file into Tweak7 and it will tell you what process, if any, is locking it.
If you need to view an Event on your PC, it’s very easy to do with Tweak7. You can narrow down an issue in startup, shutdown, or sleep/resume, and you can select dates and times for even further investigation.
Take more control of Internet Explorer as well. Easily add or remove search engines from the search box in IE.

I have a few questions.
Does it work for Vista as well?
If so,are there added functions or improvements that apply to Vista?
Will it install alongside TweakVista or do I need to uninstall TV first?
TIA

Will it only be available Dec 2 With ObjectDesktop 2010 or can existing subscribers get it now?

It shows up as available in my Impulse right now.

It's still the same for me. It doesn't show. There is a way to clear the reistry and start over I believe. Or would I be better to reinstall Impulse?

Try resetting the data via Impulse preferences.

Okay, so in Tweak 7 more of telling you what your computer is doing program, or do you have setting to adjust that make you computer run better?
Are there recommended or suggested settings that should be done through Tweak 7?
Yeah, I'm lazy.

It shows a lot of default settings, but IMO it would be impossible to recommend many settings. That is dependent on the users needs. It does help you make informed decisions and you can set a restore point within the program just in case. Lots of information and settings at your fingertips. Nice, easy on the eyes, interface. Not too shabby for 8 bucks this weekend.
