Tweaking.com - Windows Repair (All in One) v1.7.3
http://www.tweaking.com/content/page/windows_repair_all_in_one.html

v1.7.3
Updated the Repair Windows Firewall. It now restores the reg keys for the BFE, MPSSVC and WSCSVC services. Before it only put back the shared access service. Which in XP is all the firewall needed. But in Vista and 7 it required more services. They are now part of the repair :-)

Two program updates.

Tweaking.com - Windows Repair (All in One) v1.7.2
http://www.tweaking.com/content/page/windows_repair_all_in_one.html

v1.7.2
Small bug fixes to the log creation of the program.
I have removed the 3 options "Basic" "Advanced" and "Custom" before you start the repairs. Nearly all users that I have talk to, and myself included always choose custom anyways. No need for these other options and they have been removed. Should cut down on the confusion for new users on which to use.
New interface changes to the repair window in the program.
Added "Always On Top" option for the repair window.
Added a minimize button to the repair window. With the always on top option if something opens behind the window and the user needs to get to it they can now minimize the window.
Added a minimize button to the main window in the program for the heck of it :-)
Code improvements.

Tweaking.com - Windows Repair (All in One) v1.7.1 Released

Tweaking.com - Windows Repair (All in One) v1.7.1
http://www.tweaking.com/content/page/windows_repair_all_in_one.html

v1.7.1
Updated the Repair WMI to better handle the commands needed for the different version of Windows. While the WMI works great on XP, Vista and 7 it didn't work correctly on 2003 thus breaking WMI. I have added the commands need to have it run properly on 2003 :-)

All 21 individual repair programs have been updated to v1.7.1 as well.

http://www.tweaking.com/content/page/advanced_system_tweaker.html

v1.0.5
100 more tweaks added to the program.

Tweaking.com - Windows Repair (All in One) v1.7.0
http://www.tweaking.com/content/page/windows_repair_all_in_one.html

v1.7.0
Small improvements to a few repairs.
Better support when running the program through a script. I have a good amount of repair shops that use this repair tool. Some like to run the repair tool with the silent command and from a script in a bat file. The old version of the program would close any cmd.exe window before running the repairs. This of course defeated the purpose of running through a script. So I have changed the way the program waits for a repair to finish. Instead of waiting for cmd.exe to close, each repair will now make a file. When the repair is finished it will delete the file, then the program will know to move onto the next repair.
I now have the cmd.exe windows change to a gray background with black text. This way when running the program through a script you will know which cmd.exe window belongs to the windows repair :-)
The program will now save any errors from the repairs into a txt file on the Windows drive in a folder. Example: "C:\Tweaking.com_Windows_Repair_Logs\" Multiple log files are made for the permission repairs. This is because the MS tool doesn't append to the log file, so a new file has to be made for each section. Since this could create a fair amount of log files I have the program cleanup any empty log files after the repairs are ran.

http://www.tweaking.com/content/page/advanced_system_tweaker.html

v1.0.2
Small bug fix. When you would click reload add ons from the file menu the number of ran tweaks would double. This has now been fixed.
Small bug fix in the add on creator and drive list box.
100 more tweaks added to the program.

Tweaking.com - Windows Repair (All in One) v1.6.5
http://www.tweaking.com/content/page/windows_repair_all_in_one.html

v1.6.5
Program detects if you are running in safe mode and warns that some repairs may not work in safe mode.
I have also made a few changes for all repairs to run better in safe mode. No guarantees but should definitely run better in safe mode than it has before.
Per user request you can now choose to restart or shutdown the computer after repairs.
I have the repair window resized to 750 x 550 pixels (Now bigger than before). This is the max size to fit on the screen in safe mode which is normally 800 x 600.

http://www.tweaking.com/content/page/advanced_system_tweaker.html

v1.0.1
At the bottom of the tweak list it now tells the number of tweaks that have been ran in the program.
When closing the program after you ran any tweaks, it will ask you if you want to reboot. If you clicked yes you it would show a timer of 15 sec before shutdown. I have raised this to 60 sec.
Program now runs vbs scripts with CScript instead of wscript.
Small code tweaks.
Fixed bug where browse button wasnt working on tweak controls.
100 more tweaks added to the program.

Tweaking.com - Windows Repair (All in One) v1.6.4
http://www.tweaking.com/content/page/windows_repair_all_in_one.html

v1.6.4
Add ERUNT Registry backup tools. This is another option to backup the system registry before doing repairs. Also very helpful when a users system restore isn't working properly.

Tweaking.com - Windows Repair (All in One) v1.6.3 Released

Posted by: Shane on: 01/31/2012 09:49 PM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]

Tweaking.com - Windows Repair (All in One) v1.6.3
http://www.tweaking.com/content/page/windows_repair_all_in_one.html

v1.6.3
Major improvement for the Reset File Permissions repair. On vista and newer the repair would allow access to folders windows normally blocked. Such as "C:\ProgramData\Application Data". Normally with this folder you would get an access denied. After you ran the reset file permissions repair you could access it. The side effect was that this folder points back to the C:\ProgramData folder. So it made an endless loop! The repair now checks if your on anything newer than XP. If you are then it runs a batch of commands after the repair that puts back the deny permissions on all the folders that are supposed to be blocked. This stops that endless loop from happening. 46 folders total. :-)

Multiple program updates again :-)

Tweaking.com - Advanced System Tweaker Beta v0.9.7 Released
http://www.tweaking.com/content/page/advanced_system_tweaker.html

v0.9.7 Beta
Had a few sections of code that pointed to the C: drive instead of the drive letter Windows is on. (Such as the reg backup tool) This has now been fixed and points to what ever drive Windows is on.

Tweaking.com - Windows Repair (All In One) v1.6.2 Released
http://www.tweaking.com/content/page/windows_repair_all_in_one.html

v1.6.2
Per user request I have added a silent command option to the program. Set the options in the setting.ini file and run the program with /silent. The program will run in custom mode running the repairs set in the settings and then close it self. Will even reboot when done if set in the settings. (Perfect option for my fellow network admins) :-)
Small code changes.

Tweaking.com - Advanced System Tweaker Beta v0.9.6 Released
http://www.tweaking.com/content/page/advanced_system_tweaker.html

v0.9.6 Beta
Small code changes.
The program now stores what tweaks have been ran in the registry. And will color each tweak in the tree view to show it has been ran before. The goal of this is for users who don't remember what tweaks they have already ran.
Changed the "Apply/Run Now" button to "Apply/Run Selected Item". The goal of this is to avoid confusion if clicking apply runs all tweaks or only the selected one.

Tweaking.com - Windows Repair (All in One) v1.5.8 Released

Posted by: Shane on: 01/06/2012 10:05 PM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]

Tweaking.com - Windows Repair (All in One) v1.5.8
http://www.tweaking.com/content/page/windows_repair_all_in_one.html

v1.5.8
Bug Fix: I found a very odd bug where some of the repairs were not working right. All repairs run under the system account (because of the trusted installer in vista and newer). For some reason the repairs that set registry keys by a .reg file and with regedit would run but the changes wouldn't take. The fix was to have those repairs run as the logged in account. Still scratching my head on that one, but at least now they work again :-D
Bug Fix: The repair windows firewall wasn't running all the repairs needed for it. This has now been fixed.
The Reset File Permissions now skips the "Users" folder in Vista and newer and "Documents and Settings". The reason for this is in Vista and newer there is a bug where if the file permissions are changed in the user profile then Windows thinks the file is shared when it isn't and you get a shared icon on it. More information is here http://www.tweaking.com/forums/index.php/topic,69.0.html
Small code improvements.

http://www.tweaking.com/content/page/windows_repair_all_in_one.html

v1.5.6
The "Remove Policies Set By Infections" repair wasn't working properly. The commands where deleting the Reg file before it had been applied. I added the start /wait command to the regedit. "Remove Policies Set By Infections" Now works correctly :-)

http://www.tweaking.com/content/page/windows_repair_all_in_one.html

v1.5.5
Removed "WwanSvc start= demand" from the windows services repair.
The program no longer defaults to the C:\ for repairs. The program now looks at the location of the Windows dir and uses the drive that Windows is on.

Tweaking.com - Windows Repair (All in One) v1.5.4
http://www.tweaking.com/content/page/windows_repair_all_in_one.html

v1.5.4
On users machines who's "Path" variable was corrupt none of the repairs would work. To fix this I have added "set path=%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem" to all the repairs. Now on users systems with a corrupt "path" variable the repairs will still work properly :-)
