Drive Tweaker

Drive Tweaker is a practical and simple-to-use software utility that enables you to facilitates easy access to any directory by mounting it as a virtual drive. It comes loaded with several customization options in this regard.

The setup procedure is a speedy task that shouldn't give you any trouble. As far as the interface is concerned, Drive Tweaker opts for a small window with an intuitive structure, split into several panes. Administrative rights are required to launch this app.

You can use a tree view to indicate any folder you want to mount as a virtual drive, as well as assign the preferred drive letter to immediately apply changes. System restart is unnecessary, and you can mount as many folders as you want, provided that you have enough drive letters.

The software tool enables you to change the Windows appearance by attaching icons to any drives, whether they are virtual or real, set JPG, BMP, PNG or GIF photographs as their backgrounds, pick foreground colors, and refresh Windows Explorer.

Apart from the fact that you can apply all modifications with one click, it's also possible to restore all drives to their factory configuration just as easily. Drive Tweaker gives you the possibility to restrict other users' access to any drives by locking them. Unlocking can accomplished only with the help of this app. There are no other notable settings available.

The utility didn't put a strain on the overall performance of the PC in our testing, thanks to the fact that it needed low CPU and RAM to work properly. Unfortunately, it popped up an error in several cases, which prevented Drive Tweaker from applying any option we selected. We should also keep in mind that it hasn't been updated for a long time, and it may have compatibility issues with later Windows.
