TweakVista is a comprehensive utility designed to enable users to configure and optimize their Windows Vista based system. TweakVista enables both casual PC users and power users to safely alter hundreds of different settings in Windows Vista to ensure users are getting the most out of their PCs.Features include a consolidated recommendations area, an assessment/benchmarking suite that allows users to see how their systems stack up to others, an easy to use security configuration screen, power use estimates to evaluate the running cost of your PC and carbon footprint, an interactive start-up process manager and start-up profiles, and much more. TweakVista is the type of utility that every Windows Vista user should have on their PC.


The app starts with a list of 10 options on the left nav, ranging from Start Up and Resources, down through Security and Power, and ending with Miscellaneous Tweaks. Each tab opens a new panel of topic-specific options, most with tabs of their own delineating between basic and advanced functions. For example, the Services tab controls access to many of the background processes. There are preconfigured Profiles for gamers, for saving memory, and so on. The Features tab, though, lets you pick and choose specific settings.

The Power option is useful for more than just laptop users, though. It also gives you a carbon footprint of your computer usage based on your hardware, and extrapolates it for a year’s worth of use. Who knows if it’s accurate, but it’s good reminder that computers aren’t running on the power of love.

Check out the Features :

  • Security Handling. Users can now easily and safely adjust the way Windows handles security prompting including the new UAC (User Account Control)
  • Memory Optimization. TweakVista knows which start-up services different types of users will typically use and offers recommendations on what services to disable. Users can easily switch between different profiles (including the default) based on their needs to maximize performance and memory use.
  • Resource Control. TweakVista has several features for keeping an eye on and flagging programs that use excessive amounts of resources (memory, CPU, or system handles) as well as integrating seamlessly with built in hardware diagnostic reports.
  • Start-Up Management. TweakVista not only will display and enable users to control what programs are loading on start-up but will identify in plain English what these programs do. Internet integration in the software allows users to comment on these processes within the program to one another.
  • Performance Assessments. TweakVista uses the new Windows Vista assessment features to benchmark nearly every aspect of a user’s PC and allow them to submit their results for comparison with other users of similar or upgraded hardware. Reports indicate where the user’s PC ranks amongst other submissions.
  • TweakVista.com integration. TweakVista partners the software development skills of Stardock with the on-going tweak expertise of TweakVista.com to provide an on-going live database of helpful tips and tricks for maximizing the Windows Vista experience.
  • Cost of Use and Carbon Footprint Analysis. TweakVista calculates the cost of running your PC. In addition a Carbon Footprint index is calculated.
