Has Fresh UI (User Interface), been around forever, or does it just seem that way? One of the oldest and most well established free Windows tweaking applications, Freshdevices’ Fresh UI is a powerful tool that allows you to configure and optimize your version of Windows.
This small (1.48 MB) program has a clean, easy to understand interface that gives you access to hundreds of system settings, some of which are hidden, and others that are just hard to find. The interface is organized by section for easy navigation, and it is complete with detailed descriptions for easy reference.
I have heard from some users that in their view, it was not always clear what outcome they could expect with some of the selections. On the other hand, most users seem to agree that the help file is fairly extensive, and easy to understand for those who have a reasonable knowledge of their operating system.
The major benefit in using this type of tweaking application is the ease with which you can make changes to your system, without the drudgery of having to go through menu after menu, or manually editing the Registry to get the results you want.
However, as with any application that makes changes to your system, use caution and be sure to have a verified backup.

bill: could i encourage you to do an article about running 32 bit vs 64 bit? with xp being phased out, i suspect there are many who will be moving to 7 or a different os. for those of us who are planning a new computer build, the low cost of ram is enticing to “ram up”. it is my understanding 32 bit systems will only support up to 4gb ram. could you also expand on software compatibility? thanks for considering.
Hey Glenn,
Great idea – I’ll put this on the schedule.
