Windows Tweaker Portable Description
Windows Tweaker Portable is a software application that can be used in order to help individuals access Windows utilities quickly, shut down the computer at a specified time, create restrictions and tinker with some operating system options.
The upside of portable apps
This is the portable version of Windows Tweaker, and thus, the installation process becomes obsolete. It does not add new files or other items to the Windows registry or the hard drive without your permission, as installers usually do. Moreover, upon its removal no related items are going to be left behind.
Another noteworthy aspect is that you can copy the program files to a removable storage drive and thus, run Windows Tweaker Portable on any PC you have been granted access to, with just a click of the button.
Encrypt the app, create a restore point and start tweaking
A large number of options are available in this tiny utility, and a tabbed interface allows you to access all of them quickly. First and foremost, you should know it can be password-protected, so as to be sure that no one else can make changes to your operating system, and you can create a system restore point, so as to prevent sudden data loss.
It is possible to view product ID and change name of user and company to whom the computer is registered, and tweak options pertaining to File Explorer and display method (disable Windows animation, input the number of icons and rows to display in the “Alt+Tab” switcher, do not show drive letters etc.).
Restrictions and scheduling a computer shut down
The “Send to” menu can be customized, while you can also shut down or restart the computer according to a schedule, disable the auto play of all devices and access system, network and disk utilities (Device Manager, Remote Desktop, Disk Cleanup, Character Map etc.).
Last but not least, it is possible to create restrictions, such as disabling the shutdown button, administrative shares and deletion of printers, hiding Recent Documents and not displaying the Control Panel.
Bottom line
To conclude, Windows Tweaker Portable is an efficient and well-rounded piece of software, which does not hamper the computer’s performance. The response time is good and there are clearly sufficient options to keep you busy for quite a long time.
