Tweak-XP gives you instant access to hidden Windows XP settings, including ones that are hard to change. You can make the Windows XP taskbar transparent, tweak lots of desktop settings, customize the Start menu, and enable several hidden performance options.
The program increases Internet surfing speed by blocking banner ads and Internet Explorer Pop-Up Windows. Tweak-XP has a pre-defined list of ad and pop-up servers whose banners and pop-ups simply won't be loaded when you're running Internet Explorer.
While Windows XP includes the ability to perform simple ZIP file functions, Tweak-XP lets you check the integrity of ZIP files, and repair damaged archives. You can even convert simple ZIP archives into auto-extracting files.
Tweak-XP includes hardware tweaks for the most popular CPU's and display adaptors. The System Optimization Wizard will automatically inspect your computer's hardware, and fine-tune the Windows XP settings so that processing speed will be optimized.
Tweak-XP gives you control over what programs are launched when you start your computer. In addition to letting you easily manage the programs in your Start menu, the program also gives you access to programs that are launched because of obscure entries in the Windows XP Registry. Tweak-XP lets you remove those annoying programs that you've never wanted running in the background.With a single mouse click, you can optimize the physical memory in your computer. Each program that you run uses computer memory. When you close a program, often it leaves code fragments in memory and, over time, your Windows session runs slower and slower. Tweak-XP lets you clean out these leftovers so your system will run more quickly and efficiently.
Tweak-XP optimizes your Internet connection speed. Its built-in table of the most popular Internet Service Providers' configurations contains information that lets you increase throughput, whether you're using a dial-up connection or a faster broadband connection.
