Thus, it lets you gain direct control of many system settings that include things such as startup applications and a number of other settings that are rather obscure of which an example may be things such gaining information about which processor sleep state you should enable.

However, there is a problem with TweakVista in that it is all about links that take you to different parts of TweakVista itself and do not really do anything by themselves.
