The System Tweaks button contains the boot tweaks, Windows tweaks, auto-starts, system folders, and hide disk drives options. If you've ever wondered what the heck was launched when your computer booted up, you'll love the boot tweaks feature. You can see everything that is launched, even if it's hidden in the registry (as some programs are). You can also customise your boot settings here. The Windows tweaks function optimises your CD-ROM drive and DVD, checks the registry, and verifies the integrity of your system files.
The Internet Tweaks button contains the modem tweaks, Internet history, and cookie cleanup features. We didn't notice much of a speed increase after tweaking our Internet connection, but we didn't expect to see much improvement since we were already on a high-speed DSL connection. Dial-up users, however, might notice a bigger difference. The cookie cleanup worked well and we were able to get rid of our Microsoft Internet Explorer history file with just a couple of clicks.
If you're running Windows 98 or Me then Tweak-Me is well worth checking out. The software packs a lot of useful tools into one streamlined package. And if you're not convinced, you can download a trial version before spending your money.
