Windows XP Tweaks

Windows XP Tweaks is a small software application developed specifically for helping Windows XP users perform some tweaks to their operating system in order to improve its overall performance. Some of the changes are related to forcing Windows XP to use more physical memory and disabling indexing service.

You do not need special computer skills in order to apply the adjustments because the entire process is accomplished automatically. The tool works only on Windows XP so you cannot make use of its capabilities on newer operating systems, like Windows Vista and 7. The program is not recommended to be installed on a computer where either SQL Server or Internet Information Server (IIS) is running.

Windows XP Tweaks employs a step-by-step approach for helping you carry out the adjustments to your operating system. The entire procedure looks more like an installation process where you only need to follow the built-in steps in order to bring the task to an end.

The application offers you the possibility to load the kernel (Windows system core) into physical memory instead of virtual memory, force Windows XP to make use of more physical memory, as well as disable the indexing service and Messenger service (popup advertisements).

In order to check out the results of the system tweaks, you need to restart the computer. You can run some applications that needed a lot of time to open in order to view if the overall speed is enhanced.

A backup of your system is needed before making any changes to your computer because you can quickly restore data in case of errors. You should also know that Windows XP Tweaks does not offer the option to revert the changes made to your OS so making a backup copy of your files is absolutely necessary.

Windows XP Tweaks makes it really easy for you to make Windows XP more responsive and accomplishes all tweaks automatically when you install the program. It can be mastered by less experienced users and professionals alike.
