XP Tinny Tweak

XP Tinny Tweak is a compact application compatible with Windows XP, that lets you perform some tweaks on the operating system, unlocking hidden features and optimizing performance.

After a rapid and uneventful setup operation that does not require special attention from the user, you are welcomed by a small, standard interface with a plain layout and direct access to some tweak options. Additional ones are accessible through the More button.

Tasks are performed as soon as you trigger them. You can disable autoplay CDs, Security Center alerts, the Windows Tour, reminder and .NET Passport balloons, speed up the Start menu, enable boot optimization, uninstall Windows Messenger, and display the classic Start menu by force.

Additional options focus on unloading DLLs to free memory, removing shortcut arrow symbols, clearing history of typed URLs, deleting cookies and temporary files, and more. The major drawback to XP Tinny Tweak is that it doesn't give you the possibility of reverting settings to default.

The app is very light on the system resources, running on a very low amount of CPU and RAM. It has a good response time and swiftly performs a tweaking operation, without hanging, crashing or popping up error dialogs. On the other hand, XP Tinny Tweak has not been updated for a very long time.
