SetteMaxer

SetteMaxer is a lightweight and portable piece of kit which gives you some extra features to manipulate your system's behavior. It can be seamlessly handled, even by less experienced users.

Thanks to its portability, SetteMaxer does not come with an installation package. In other words, you can simply save the executable file to any location on the hard drive, and directly run it.

As an alternative, you can store SetteMaxer on a USB flash drive or other storage unit, and run it on any computer.

More importantly, the Windows Registry does not receive new entries (thus, minimizing the risk of system errors), and no files are left behind on the hard drive after deleting the app. Plus, you can keep SetteMaxer in your pocket whenever you're on the move.

The app is wrapped in a familiar interface with a simple-to-follow layout. The "what you see is what you get" concept clearly applies to SetteMaxer, since there are no other features available, aside from the ones visible in the main frame.

You can enable the options to optimize the menu show delay, timeout to kill services and applications, application response time timeout and low-level hooks. But you may also enable the automatic termination of tasks and system reboot on crashes, a sidebar when User Account Control (UAC) is disabled, and desktop composition.

It is possible to disable Task Scheduler, remote Registry access, Windows Defender and UAC. Once you have made your selection, you can apply settings with the click of a button. Restoring them to default can be done in a similar manner, if you ever change your mind.

The simplistic program runs on a low quantity of CPU and system memory, has a good response time and worked smoothly during our evaluation, without hanging, crashing or popping up error dialogs; we have not encountered any issues.

To conclude, SetteMaxer can help you out if you want to make some additional adjustments to your operating system, whether you are familiarized with software applications or not.
