“Quick Lock’s clean interface is wonderfully simple… QuickLock is small and doesn’t install to your system. It’s easily placed on an USB drive to use on most machines. This freeware is best suited for system administrators looking to block novice users from these functions.” - Download.com Editor’s Review

Introduction

Do you tweak your registry settings frequently? I do. In fact, I spend lots of my free time playing with Windows Registry, changing some settings to meet my need, removing unneeded stuff, etc.

One painful process that should be done everytime we tweak the registry is Backing up the registry. In case there’s something wrong with your computer, you’ll have a chance to restore your registry so that everything’s back to normal.

That’s why I wrote Reg Assistant, a small, handful freeware that allows you to backup/restore your registry in no time. Its interface is so simple that even your great-grandma could use it!

That’s it! Only a few mouse clicks are needed to perform a full backup of your Windows Registry. Reg Assistant deserves a try!

“Though this program is far from being feature-rich, Reg Assistant performs its sole function as stated. Its miniature interface doesn’t offer much and is ultrasimple as a result. Reg Assistant is efficient and free of charge…” - Download.com Editor’s review

In addition to Custom Smileys Todo List, I’d like to have another todo list for Folder Tweaker, which is version 1.1 at the moment.

Like usual, this list is sorted by priority:

1. The source code should be rewritten from scratch in AutoHotkey, not AutoIt. AutoHotkey is by far better than AutoIt and it’ll give me a chance to add more cool features to Folder Tweaker.
2. Add an option called “Make this folder portable”. That means, the icon and/or background image should be copied to the folder and the path to them should be relative path. In this way, users are able to see the folder’ background image/icon no matter where they put it. An USB stick, for instance.
3. Add the ability to apply/remove background images and/or icons of more than one folder at a time. For example, “Apply to this folder and all folders under it (recursive)”

Any comments are welcomed.

What it does

This software gives you a chance to change the icon and the background image of your folders within seconds.

Forget your dull, boring and default folders, let’s bring a new life to them:

Folder Tweaker also integrates itself to your context menu, which’ll reduce much time finding the program files and lauching it from there.

How it works

All you have to do is right-clicking any of your folders and choose Tweak this folder. Folder Tweaker will be launched and it allows you to customize your folder completely.
