Vancouver, WA - August 12, 2002 (PRN):JerMar Software has released Tweaki, a Windows application that makes it easy to manage and control your computer, run it securely, and increase its processing speed and safety. Using a simple point and click interface, Tweaki provides hundreds of ways to fine-tune Microsoft Windows, Internet Explorer, and Office applications, from the way Windows boots, automatically loads and runs programs, and manages your desktop, to the way it handles security and runs your day-to-day business applications.

Tweaki makes your computer run faster. Tweaki can speed your processing by safely removing unnecessary programs that are launched whenever you start your computer. Unlike other utilities that give you no insight into why your computer is launching a program at startup, Tweaki provides you with a brief description of each program, and even has an icon that tells you at a glance if it's safe to disable the program. In addition, each version of Windows has its own set of visual effects which slow all processing. Tweaki lets you eliminate these unnecessary enhancements, and speeds up your computer.

Tweaki lets you defrag your hard disk, allowing all file operations to proceed more quickly. Unlike the normal running of the Windows defrag program, which can restart dozens or hundreds of times before it completes its work, Tweaki lets you defrag your hard drive in one clean operation. Tweaki lets you fine-tune your computer so more Windows programs can run simultaneously, without causing out-of-memory errors.

Tweaki secures your computer by giving you critical information about how your computer is being used. It can tell you which web sites and newsgroups have been visited, even if the user erases Internet Explorer's cache file and unsubscribes from the newsgroups after visiting them. Since Tweaki works across a network, you can monitor any computer that is connected to the LAN. Tweaki has dozens of security features, including the ability to lock down a computer and prevent system modification, lock down specific applications so that they can only be used by authorized individuals, and build security templates that can be applied to all computers across the network.

Tweaki lets you fine-tune the way you use Microsoft Office applications, including Word, Excel, Access, and PowerPoint. You can control how files are loaded and saved, and set customized shortcuts that speed your way through daily business tasks. Windows NT4/2000/XP users will enjoy the point and click control that Tweaki gives to your network, server, debug, and performance settings. Tweaki even has features that let you run Internet Explorer more effectively.

Tweaki's "Validate Favorites" function looks at the bookmarks that you've saved, and categorizes each link as valid, broken, or redirected. Whether you have hundreds or thousands of favorites, the program can eliminate bad links, and update the redirected ones.

Whether you're traveling with your laptop or just making periodic backups of your critical data, Tweaki lets you define sets of files that you need to copy regularly, and lets you create the copy with a single click.

There are hundreds of tweaks that can help you use your Windows system more efficiently, from adding a "print directory" function to the context (right click) menu, to customizing a folder's appearance, to removing leftover programs from the add/remove dialog.

Whether you're a power user who enjoys tweaking Windows Registry settings, or a novice who simply wants more control over your computer, Tweaki makes Windows better.

Tweaki runs under Windows 95/98/Me/NT4/2000/XP, costs $19.99, and may be purchased securely online at http://www.jermar.com/. You can download a free, fully-functional 14-day trial version of Tweaki from the same address. Tweaki owners receive unlimited free tech support, and free upgrades to future versions. Multi-user licenses are available.
