FixAuto

Varius errors occur due to the abundance of available applications that either modify or tweak defaul operating system settings and registries. Luckily, various solutions can be found. FixAuto is an universal system fixer, allowing you to tweak various functions and features of Windows systems. With FixAuto, you can adjust settings for folders, extensions and USB devices.

Installation turns out to be complication free, although you might be confused when confronted with the user interface. By default, the language is Vietnamese, but you can switch to English using the Options tab (the third one).

In the "Fix System" section, you can block functions like Autorun (INF or INI), Autoplay on all drivers, fake Autorun files (NTFS drivers only, FAT32 and NTFS, or USB), or disable USB functions (writing or detecting), as well as the User Account Control in Windows Vista.

In the "Show Folders" tab you can fix Folder Options and select to show hidden files and folders, set the files and folders attribute to normal (sub-folders are optional), or block Folder Options.

The third tab allows you to repair functions, such as Task Manager, Regedit, msconfig, Internet Explorer, errors when starting Windows in safe mode, Start Menu errors, Debugger, system time and others, or replace the Explorer or Userinit executable files. In the last tab you can repair various extensions, including BAT, CMD, EXE, and REG.

The "App Window" allows you to load some of the utility applications found in Windows (e.g. Command Prompt, User Account Management). You should also be able to disable programs that load at startup, but there are some doubts here. First of all, "Enable All" and "Disable All" actually select and deselect the applications (this part was not properly translated), but if you select all of them and click Ok, FixAuto will only disable part of them.

Besides toggling English and Vietnamese in the Options tab, you can also delete the blocked virus database, or load the blocked virus files at FixAuto startup.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that any task you select in FixAuto will be carried out within minimum time. System restarts are not required to enjoy the adjustments you have made.
