This is the portable edition of Tweaking.com - Windows Repair. The software app aims to supply users with a straightforward solution to repair some OS issues, by restoring system tools to their factory settings.
Since installation is not a prerequisite, you can drop the program files anywhere on the computer and run the executable file immediately.
Alternatively, you can move Tweaking.com - Windows Repair to a removable storage unit to run it on any computer without prior a install.
An important factor is that Windows Registry is not updated with entries, and leftovers do not remain on the hard disk after removing the tool.
The app's graphical interface includes a simple-to-use layout, resembling the one of a wizard, where you take few steps to complete a repairing task in no time. Thus, Tweaking.com - Windows Repair can be used even by people with minimum background in such programs.
The application offers to clean your system of malware infections, but it requires to download a third-party component to do so. Plus, it can check the system files for errors, corrupted parts or mismatched versions to fix them (a computer restart is necessary).
Tweaking.com - Windows Repair also provides a backup and restore service for the Registry, in case the operating system starts experiencing issues after modifications are applied. Statistics are logged to file for further analysis.
The application barely uses CPU and system memory, so it doesn't hog the computer's resources. No error dialogs have been shown in our tests and the app did not hang or crash.

New feature:
· Since I had to get this bug fixed quickly I decided to take the time to add a new feature I came up with. In the steps before the repairs, Step 2 asks the user to do a check disk (chkdsk) on the system to make sure there is no file system errors before doing any repairs. I hated the fact that I forced the user to reboot to scan it when there may not be any errors on the file system. So I have added a new option to this step where the program will check the drive for errors and let you know if any are found. It is done by making a pipe to a cmd.exe window and running chkdsk in read only mode. Once chkdsk is done it looks for the key words "Windows found problems" and can let t...
