If we recall the events that preceded the exit previous versions Windows, one pattern can be detected. Whenever a user was faced with a choice whether to stay on old system or switch to a new one, he expressed his skepticism about the new product in every possible way and mercilessly criticized the proposed version. Such a strict position is quite understandable - as a potential buyer, the user has the right to critically approach the quality of the product and, perhaps, to a certain extent, even “bargain” with the seller - they say, the product is not worth that kind of money, and old version works fine. This was the case when Windows XP went on sale and Windows Vista, a similar picture can be observed now. Despite the positive reviews from those who have already tried Windows 7, the user is still cautious in his choice and is still looking closely at the new system.

Whether Microsoft's new product is expected to be a success or not, time will tell. Now we can only say with confidence that while the user gets used to the new look of the operating system, some time will pass, during which each owner of Windows 7 will understand and make their own changes to the system settings. And special tweaker programs will help with this.

EnhanceMySe7en Free 1.6.1

Developer: SeriousBit
Distribution size: 16 MB
Spreading: free One of the reasons that prompts a user to configure the operating system is the desire to make it more familiar, similar to the previous version. Some of the new OS tools may be more convenient than those in the old Windows, but they still take some getting used to. Therefore, at least at first, many users will probably find it necessary to remove unnecessary and, from their point of view, useless interface elements, and also create a design in classic style. All this can be easily done using the EnhanceMySe7en Free utility. The changes that have occurred in the Windows interface cause many users to feel some discomfort. Someone who, while working on a laptop or desktop computer, accustomed to running standard Windows utilities and services every day, will at first get lost in the new design and waste his time searching for the right tool or setting. To simplify the task, the developers of EnhanceMySe7en created a special section of the System Tools utility, in which they placed all the main system controls. Each tool in this section can be launched by pressing the button of the same name. Thus, the user can quickly open the system registry editor, go to the list of installed services, launch the DirectX diagnostic tool, the connected device manager, view the fonts installed on the system, test memory, open the running task manager, etc. In addition, the program EnhanceMySe7en has the ability to create shortcuts for quick system commands. By pressing one button on the desktop Windows desktop shortcuts are created to launch the commands Run, Log Off Computer, Restart Computer, open the System Properties window, etc.

With EnhanceMySe7en Free you can customize the main Windows menu- "Start." True, it will never be possible to bring it to its classic form, but you can customize it in such a way that the menu is more convenient and clearer. EnhanceMySe7en makes it possible to hide certain menu items, arrange a list of applications in it, use scrolling to scroll through the list of its items, and turn off the search function.

A separate section of the program contains settings for the system-integrated Windows Player Media. Using the parameters offered by the tweaker, you can disable the ability to download additional codecs from the network, prohibit the startup of the screen saver during playback, and disable the function automatic update etc.

Group Internet settings Explorer Tools allows you to quickly use some implicit options for convenient Internet surfing. For example, using EnhanceMySe7en Free, you can prevent viewing the HTML code of a page from the browser, turn off the phishing filter, and customize the toolbar and menu of Internet Explorer. Users also have access to settings to limit access rights to program parameters - for example, you can prohibit any changes to Internet connection settings. Not everyone will be able to use the settings in the tweaker sections that relate to browser configuration. Options to control Internet Explorer features will only be available to users who are using the version of Windows 7 that comes with the browser pre-installed. One of the most useful features of EnhanceMySe7en is customizing the Windows context menu. As various applications are installed on the system, many of the programs add their commands to the Explorer context menu for convenience. However, you have to pay for such “convenience” - the abundance of context menu items can lead to errors in the operation of the system, and also cause it slow work. EnhanceMySe7en allows you to clean up and customize your context menu commands. Moreover, the changes made by the user are absolutely safe, since the program has the ability to restore the original system parameters of any section of the context menu. In addition to all the above features, EnhanceMySe7en Free contains a number of additional tools for carrying out preventive measures aimed at maintaining high system performance. Among them is a utility for cleaning the system registry, a tool for deleting temporary files, disk and registry defragmenters, a temperature monitor and various parameters work hard disk, a utility for controlling the launch of applications that automatically boot with the system, etc.

Windows 7 Little Tweaker 1.1

Developer: LeeLu Soft
Distribution size: 516 kb
Spreading: free Compared to the previous tweaker, this one is small free utility has much more modest capabilities. In a small window, the program displays a list of functions that can be used by the user. Among the system configuration options, you can highlight the cancellation of the function of checking for insufficient hard drive capacity (due to which the system does not display an annoying message) and Windows setup to automatically terminate frozen applications or programs that do not complete their work for a long time. With this small tweaker you can also increase the performance of a standard file manager Conductor. Windows 7 Little Tweaker disables display network printers and prohibits work for the task scheduler when accessing the network.

Using the Windows 7 Little Tweaker settings, you can add some context menu items: a command to work with command line, a command to quickly view files using standard utility"Notepad", as well as an item for quickly changing the owner of folders and files. Users running the 64-bit version of Windows 7 should keep in mind that Windows startup 7 Little Tweaker is not possible on it.

7Tweak 1.3

Developer: Ruslan Sologub
Distribution size: 15 MB
Spreading: shareware One of the useful features of 7Tweak is the ability to enable/disable the User Account Control module. This annoying component, which appeared in Windows Vista, constantly pesters many users, each time asking for confirmation of actions that require administrator rights. Of course, this is done for reasons of protection against unauthorized use of the computer, but in practice this function turns out to be useless for many, since most people use reliable firewalls and antivirus packages. With 7Tweak you can also disable notifications from the system's built-in firewall or disable its use altogether. In the program, you can reduce the likelihood of losing confidential data by disabling the function of saving passwords and autofill forms in Internet browser Explorer. The program can regularly create and restore backups system registry. In addition, the tweaker allows you to improve system performance by disabling a number of visual effects that Windows 7 is fully endowed with: animated effects for minimizing and maximizing windows, three-dimensional effects for switching windows, various reflection effects, etc.

Unlike similar utilities for fine-tuning Windows 7, the 7Tweak program supports the “native” mode of working with 64-bit versions of operating systems, thanks to which the program performs many operations (for example, disk defragmentation) with high performance. The utility has an intelligent search system junk files, thanks to which the tweaker accurately identifies temporary and empty data, cookies and other information that is of no value to the user. The 7Tweak single interface contains a huge number of useful system tools: a hard drive format converter from FAT to NTFS, a utility for creating CAB archives, a tool for migrating files and system settings from one computer to another, a utility for remote control computer, a program for using the Finger service (determining information about a user on a remote system), a virtual keyboard, etc. The program also has its own process manager and a special utility for complete removal any installed applications. Another group of settings that is worth mentioning are the settings for working with mail clients Microsoft Outlook and Windows Outlook Express. With their help, you can, for example, block attachments containing executable files, enable the option “minimize the client to the system tray, prohibit changes in settings account etc. Using 7Tweak you can create additional virtual disks with any free letters, and if there is no need for them, on the contrary, delete them.

Tweak-7 1.0

Developer: Totalidea Software
Distribution size: 21.7 MB
Spreading: shareware Using tweakers is not always a safe activity. Sometimes a thoughtless change in settings may not only not improve the performance of Windows, but also, on the contrary, lead to errors in the system. To avoid this, at the very beginning of the installation, Tweak-7 will offer to make a restore checkpoint, i.e. save everything the most important settings and OS settings. In case of unsuccessful experiments, you can always roll back to original state systems. Installation of Tweak-7 is accompanied by simultaneous integration of the tweaker into the Control Panel, as well as the creation of a shortcut to quickly turn off the computer.

There are a lot of settings in this tweaker, and since many of the parameters that Tweak-7 allows you to adjust relate to the security of Windows 7, the program provides an option to restrict access to program settings using a password. A large number of settings in this program did not have the best effect on the speed of the utility. Every time you go to a new section of system settings, you have to wait a few seconds while the program refreshes the page with the parameters. However, Tweak-7 may be useful when configuring your system, since it contains various useful features. For example, in the program you can change the position of any system folders - My Documents, Startmenu, Desktop, etc. Another interesting feature of the tweaker is editing information about the equipment supplier (OEM) and the Windows user.

While performance tweaks in other tweakers usually look like simply turning off animation effects, in Tweak-7 the user has a choice. It is possible to determine which visual effects should be turned off and which ones should be left on. To increase the speed of data transfer on the network, the program provides a number of preliminary settings that provide optimal throughput, depending on the type of connection used (satellite connection, DSL/ADSL, dial-up connection, etc.). In addition, the efficiency of packet exchange can be increased by configuring the QoS service, which reserves up to twenty percent of traffic, leaving a reserve for the exchange of important system packets.

It seemed somewhat strange that the firewall built into Windows 7 “defeated” the tweaker and did not allow itself to be disabled, displaying an error message when trying to use this option. At the same time as this message, the ban on running the firewall in the program itself was lifted. This tweaker, in addition to such “mandatory” settings as defragmenting the registry and cleaning the system of unused shortcuts, can also configure processor and memory modes. For example, a program can control the cache size of the Windows 7 file operating system, and can use several independent optimization algorithms for this. By using a special option in Tweak-7, you can force the operating system to determine whether the processor supports certain specific Windows features 7, such as, for example, a memory management system that uses a cache with write back. Work with the processor in the tweaker can be optimized either for execution background jobs, or for active work with applications. For those who value time and do not want to understand the intricacies of Tweak-7’s numerous system settings, the tweaker offers a separate operating mode - automatic optimization of Windows 7. When going to the Auto Optimization section of the program, the user will be asked to use one of several options for optimizing the entire system. In the first case, the program corrects system settings to increase Windows performance, but does not disable the visual effects of the system. In the second case, correction of system settings already includes some restrictions related to disabling certain effects. The last option is aimed at maximum performance - if you select it, you will not see any animation or visual effects.

SetteMaxer for Windows 7

Developer: Turkiye.it
Distribution size: 457 kb
Spreading: free This small utility was created as a counterbalance to bulky, multifunctional tweakers. The creator of this project selected only those system parameters that, in his opinion, are most often adjusted by users when setting up Windows 7. It must be said that the list is rather meager and can be disputed, but, on the other hand, some of its functions may be useful. And since the program is distributed free of charge, its usefulness is beyond doubt. The utility's interface is incredibly simple - priority settings are included in one list. The user can only mark the optimization points with which he agrees.

SetteMaxer for Windows 7 can disable a number of components: the Task Scheduler, the remote registry access service, the User Account Control service, and the windows defender (Windows Defender), designed to remove, quarantine or prevent the appearance of spyware modules. In addition, the utility can optimize the speed of menu display by setting the delay time to zero. The tweaker can also make changes to the system rules for ending services or applications, closing the process after a certain period of time. Another one useful option SetteMaxer for Windows 7 - cancel automatic reboot in case of application failure.

Windows 7 Manager 1.1.3

Developer: Yamicsoft
Distribution size: 4.7 MB
Spreading: shareware Often, in order to draw conclusions about what steps you need to take to increase the performance of your computer, it is useful to look at the PC configuration. Windows 7 Manager provides detailed information about the current computer configuration, about all components and all installed programs. Access to program settings can be protected with a password. The arsenal of tools for configuring the system includes a task manager, which displays detailed information about the running file - manufacturer, priority, amount of RAM, operating time, location on the hard drive, etc.

The windows for managing processes and services are very well thought out. By viewing the list of running processes, you can immediately determine its security level. First, the program highlights processes and services in different colors to show the user how dangerous they can be. If necessary, obtain additional information, you can highlight the process line in the window and click the Query Internet button. After this, a browser window will open, which will display a page with search results for the process name. Windows 7 Manager allows you to achieve maximum performance when working with hard drives connected via the SATA interface. In addition, the program can forcefully unload dll libraries from memory that were loaded by an application that has already completed its work. Using a tweaker, you can open pop-up windows in Internet Explorer as new tabs. Those who care about security should pay attention to the Privacy Protector module. WITH using Windows 7 Manager, you can disable the function of remembering documents opened on the computer (Recent Documents History), the history of launched applications, the history of files that were played using Windows Media Player, file search history in Explorer. In addition, Windows 7 Manager can enable automatic clearing of the history of files running on the computer when you log off.

In the network settings section you can perform optimization network connections. Thus, you can specify the type of connection to the Internet, limit the channel width when transmitting over the network streaming video, set the maximum waiting time when exchanging packets.

The program developers paid a lot of attention to customizing the context menu. Using Windows 7 Manager, you can remove those context menu items that are not needed in your work. In addition, using the tweaker you can add some additional menu commands that may be useful. If, after deleting standard commands, problems arise related to the stability of the system, they can be easily returned to the context menu. Windows 7 Manager has extensive tools for customizing the appearance of the system. Among them, we can highlight a manager for managing desktop wallpaper, with which you can set the picture on the desktop to automatically change at certain intervals. In addition, it is worth noting the settings for managing appearance updated panel Windows tasks 7. The program makes it possible to disable thumbnails of pages generated when you hover over a shortcut with the mouse cursor, reduce the size of icons, disable context menus for the taskbar, etc. One of the options for using this tweaker is to launch a special optimization wizard. In this mode of operation, the user is asked to use twelve tools in turn. Moreover, for each of them the program gives simple recommendations on which settings should be enabled and which ones should be used only as a last resort. The optimization wizard can be very useful, for example to disable unnecessary services. All the user needs to do is answer simple questions like: do you have a tablet, do you use a printer, do you print documents, etc. Based on the responses received, Windows 7 Manager will disable unnecessary services.

Conclusion

An experienced user can perform fine tuning operating system without resorting to special utilities. But even he will not deny that optimization settings put together can significantly save time. Tweaker programs are good way quickly and without any problems, fine-tune Windows 7 and bring the system to the desired look. Note that the programs described in the article are probably just the first signs, developed even before the release of the final version of Windows 7. After the new operating system will be officially released and begin to conquer computer users all over the world, the choice of optimization programs will most likely be much wider.
