Optimize your Windows Vista with Stardock’s TweakVista

If you use Vista, you are probably aware of the fact that tweaking it is not always a breeze. Although many features can be configured from the Control Panel or via the toolbar, there is still a bunch of Vista optimization tweaks that can be implemented only through the registry.

Here’s exactly where the new TweakVista utility can help.

Among its features you can find the following:

Security Handling:
    •  Adjust User Account Control and logon settings easily and safely
Memory Optimization:
    •  Manage start-up services with preset and customized profiles
    •  Switch between profiles to reduce memory usage and maximize performance
Start-Up Management:
    •  Display and control programs loading on start-up
    •  Identify in plain English what programs do and how to disable them
Performance Assessments:
    •  Use Windows Vista to benchmark your PC
    •  Submit your results online and compare them with other people

The utility is currently still in its Beta phase, but after giving it a thorough check i was impressed by its functionality. The feature i like the most is the Windows services profiles, that allows you to automatically bulk enable and disable services according to your computer role (gaming station, media center, server etc’). I strongly recommend to give this feature a try as from experience, it will speed up your Vista operating system performance.

The utility will run for free until the end of October, so if you looking for an easy to use Vista tweaking utility, give TweakVista a shot.
