Today we are going to share an excellent and very useful freeware for Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 Developer Preview.
"Tweak Me" can be considered as a powerful pack of various useful utilities which are generally downloaded and installed separately. It comes with following components:

Second component "Cleaner" is an alternative to CCleaner. It allows you to delete various temporary files from your system to get free space on your hard disk. You can clear browser cache, cookies, history, logs, driver cache and much more. Just select the desired options and click on "Analyze" button to get info about how much free space will you get after removing the temp files. When decided, you can click on "Clean" button to remove the temp files.
"Startup" is a replacement for Windows built-in msconfig utility which allows you to enable/disable startup programs to make Windows startup faster. Simply uncheck the checkbox for a program which you don't want to start with Windows.
"Context Menu" page allows you to remove unnecessary or unwanted options from context menu (right-click menu) of files, folders, drives, etc. It shows a list of all options available, you can uncheck the options which you don't want to see in context menu.
Apart from these 4 components, it also allows you to tweak settings related to SSD optimization. To access these settings, click on "Tweak Me!" button and select "SSD Optimization" option. Here you can enable/disable various options.
Last but not least, the program also allows you to fix various system features like Boot defragmentation, prefetch, superfetch, hibernation, burning function, etc. Click on "Tweak Me!" button and select "Fixes" option. Now you can restore settings for these system features by clicking on "Restore Settings" button given for each feature.

Nice interface

Yes, a very nice program.
Have used it from it's early beginnings.
A feature not mentioned is you are able to save and then apply a profile from one computer to another.
You'll find this feature under the top left " Tweak Me! " drop down menu and then select profiles.
The only downside is the program requires Net V3.5 or higher.
