Tried out Tweak 7 for ****s and giggles... this thing is a piece of crap. It's poorly organized, the sections take forever to load the first time you open them, and, here's the kicker... it removed my "Users" dir when I tried to uninstall it!

I should clarify: I use a directory link created via mklink for my "Users" dir so that I can keep it on another partition. For some reason, it removed this directory link. Quite odd behavior. I don't think I'll ever be trying this one again.

if you feel like "tweaking" Windows 7 run the gpedit.msc command and you can "tweak" more settings than 3rd party software.

I also noticed the new summary feature that lists all the settings in alphabetical order.

I was bored to death of tweaking by 2004. Seriously, maybe a bit of tweaking was required in XP before SP2 but since then it's all but redundant.

If you want to tweak with your OS, install Linux :)

Just installed this and fully agree with you... but cant actually complain since its a BETA ;) ... Some of Visual tweaks to taskbar and startmenu were quite good actually. I never bothered with speed tweaks

you know, ms deliberatly make an os thats untweaked and unoptimised as it makes more sales

Erm no, they sell a universal OS in different editions to cater for different consumers. The problem with tweaks is that they give with one hand and take from the other, which is fine if you don't need what was taken away but some people won't need what you added and would miss what you took away, it's almost impossible to universally tweak anything.

Still, I believe MS have missed a trick by not releasing "Gamer" editions of it's OS's, many Gamers consider "Ultimate" editions to be it but what they actually get is more bloat.

I installed that thing but it doesn't seem to appear in the taskbar for me. I see its process though, but I can't access it. Fail.

If you want a tweaking tool,

- Black Viper's Guide

- JV Power Tools

- Microsoft Management Console

Some of the services that auto start can be stoped...Why would you wan`t windows media player network sharing service running if you don`t share music over a network..

There seems to be quite a lot of people on this forum ready to jump down others throats at the first attempt :argue: not helpful

+1 BV(and make notes)

Don't need this anymore. Microsoft really cleaned Win7 up for sure and using 3rd party tweaking programs can cause you more problems than it could solve you.

I agree. Tweaking is completely redundant and unnecessary now.

Yeah, same here. I agree too. It's not needed on Windows now.

Come on. Memory optimizers and certain other performance "optimizing" tweaks like that are nonsense, but there are many little things in Windows that people might want to tweak. Nothing wrong with that, it's perfectly legitimate. What if I want to change the hover delay time because of the taskbar? Isn't that a reasonable thing to do? That's a tweak. Why do so many people on Neowin patch system files and install third party themes? Because they aren't happy with the default and want to tweak it.

Well yeah, that's what I wanted to do, but that's not possible with this program (or I missed it because of the poor interface and organisation). The software is useless IMHO, I wouldn't complain if it was freeware but it's supposed to be commercial :-/

any one who need to optimize windows 7 is an well i dont know what as Windows 7 dont need tweaking so dont wast any time getting software to tweak 7 their is nothing to be tweaked it is already faster then windows XP for me and i am sure other will say the same thing .
Ahn? Windows 7 comes configured for what is best for most computers, but tweaking it to the best of your computer will make it even better.

if you need to optimize windows 7 then please just upgrade your computer! it doesn't cost much...

it's not because you have a top of the line PC that you want some of its power to go to waste.

Also tweaks are not always to improve performances, sometimes it's to make the system easier to use etc etc

NO i build all my own PCs so you have it wrong and i keep asking why do ya need to tweak windows 7 when it is Fine the way it is ther is nothing in windows 7 that has to be or needs to be tweaked .

below is an image of my PC please mind that i need to clean it out as i have not done so as of yet but planning to tomorrow and yes it is SO a big box retailer ppp please .

LOL OMG - - is this the system you claimed was fast ?? uhhh.. maybe 5 years ago. - no - it wasnt then either.

How's that shoe taste ?

Yeah - you need to do some tweaking - like cable mgmt, vaccuuming, dusting, possibly some haz-mat suits, disinfecting - removing the mold and airborne diseases -- then you can start on the inside of that disaster

Why in the world would you post something like that ? Why in the world would you have a case with a window when the system looks like that ??

Yeah, you need to tweak for sure...

:rolleyes:

You're obviously not a Power User, we tweak, we build our own PCs...from your statement it's obvious that you're one of the ones who just goes to a big box retailer and buys a pre-made PC and runs it that way!

Power users tweak. Windows 7 for all it's glory is still a product for the masses. To all that say "don't tweak windows 7" I say to you: Go find another pasture!

Heh, what's a power user? Someone extremely knowledgeable on computers and/or OS's?

There are lots of us here who used to tweak incessantly back when using Win 95/98 where tweaking actually did something. Now that hardware has caught up, there isn't much point. Do you suddenly become a "Non Power User" by having 14 years experience with an OS branch and realising that tweaking just isn't worth it any more?

if you really want to tweak then go back to the 90s or early millennium hardware or so cause ya know what on todays hardware and with windows 7 tweaking is not needed it is just as bad as other power users wanting to still tweak XP down to nothing cause OH it uses to much damn ram you all are a bunch of Hot heads just looking to brag for nothing there is more to life then computers so i am glad i got a life outside computers

there got that off my damn chest

And you have still missed the point...

For many - hardware will **NEVER** catch up as the software running on that hardware will be that much more sophisticated.

And God bless that.

As an example, game developers often develop their games using higher polygon counts than what is released to the public. If they could crank it all the way up, they would.

Despite the area of performance people will continue to be individuals and differentiate themselves from the flock.

Look, you may have lost your bravado for tweaking but many others haven't. It's not for everyone and I do not recommend it to the lay-man. But for those with the know-how and knowledge - places like this are a good medium to discuss such things.

Obsidience

does anyone here think that a thread about what tweaks you did to win7 would be a good idea?

Sure, but I would suggest a cold compress, bandages and a bottle of whiskey on standby. Apparently the natives are restless...

you know this is getting Sad when anyone with a high end Rig HAS to have ther Fix has to no matter what and no matter how freaking good the system runs they must get more out of it and that little more they get is Nothing at all like for example user who disable stuff liek ready boost or something what does that do Nothing it improves performance no bit not makes it worse so that is an example of why tweaking is not needed now days with todays hardware so tweaking is useless in this day in age on new hardware.

Now course if you had older hardware like a P3 or AMD athlon XP with 256meg ram or 512 then maby tweaking an Os like XP or vista or 7 would be ok cause i coudl see it being needed but on anything like my specs witch is low end by todays standard it is not needed Windows 7 for exampel runs fine with no freaking slowdowns not even while i encode some movies so i see no point has been made by anyone ona higehr end rig why they need to tweak an OS if the same Os on my outdated hardware runs lieka champ even at the most resource intensive tasks

Mod would ya close this thread and let this topic Die TY and Good night
