Internet Tweak

Internet Tweak is a tool designed to help you get the most out of your high-speed Internet connection, providing a great amount of optimization options.
Beginners may have a hard time trying to figure out the meaning of each tweaking tool offered by the program and although a help file is also available, the included information doesn’t cover all of them.
Aimed at those with a bit more computer experience, Internet Tweak comprises not only utilities supposed to boost Internet speed, but also to tweak Internet Explorer, Outlook Express, Netscape Communicator and Windows.
You can for example disable auto discovery, change hangup timers, speed up Internet searches, change RPC packet size, change the modem timeout, hide the favorites menu in IE, the toolbar or the URL shortcuts, change OE and IE small and large animations, edit HTML files with Notepad or disable MSN consumer version.
As you can see, the number of tweaking options is pretty remarkable, so a comprehensive help file to cover all the topics is a must have. Still, those looking for more information can always search the Internet.
Internet Tweak works well on Windows XP, but it doesn’t seem to have any positive effect on Windows Vista and 7 workstations. It does provide access to some hidden Windows features, but we didn’t experience any speed boost during our test.
All things considered, Internet Tweak is an interesting piece of software, but it’s pretty clear that improvements supposed to make it more user-friendly are still needed.
