Microsoft has again increased both the power and complexity of its popular Windows operating system with the release of Windows Vista.

Stardock's Tweak7 enhancement application helps you configure Windows 7 to meet your personal needs by improving performance.

Unlike other power tools for Windows, Tweak7 automatically prompts enhancement recommendations, offering easy one click updates to otherwise complex configuration changes. Tweak7 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.

Tweak7 is a utility that enables users to optimize the performance and behavior of Microsoft Windows 7. The program has been designed to allow both casual, non-technical users to safely use it as well as contain a host of advanced features for power users to dig into the internals of Windows 7.

Tweak7 was inspired and designed by computer technicians to provide a utility that helps solve problems. Tweak7's key features include performance optimizing, start-up program management, program identification, benchmarking, security tweaking, Cost of Use reports, Carbon Footprint analysis and user profiles.

Tweak7 is available for purchase as a standalone application for $19.95 or as part of Stardock's Object Desktop suite of software which includes WindowBlinds, IconPackager, DesktopX and much more for $49.95.
