About Windows Tricker

Note: This review is written by Mihaela Citea.

Windows Tricker bundles a collection of tools that enable you to tweak your system in order to improve the user experience. Its final purpose is to provide you with a way to make Windows even easier to work with and enhance the workflow, which can result in higher productivity.

There are numerous programs inside the toolkit, ready to assist you in performing various operations. The interface of Windows Tricker is actually a launcher for all these utilities.


Add new shortcuts in the context menu
The application can be used for adding new shortcuts to the right-click context menu that can offer quick access to important sections and tools, such as Notepad, Control Panel, the command prompt, the Windows defragmenter or a custom application.


A launcher for important system tools
It can help you quickly launch 'Disk Management', the 'Resource Monitor', 'WMI Management' tool, the Windows firewall, 'Help and Support' section or the 'Group Policy Editor'. This saves you the trouble of trying to find all these sections manually in the Control Panel.

Using it, you can quickly perform disk cleanup, perform disk defragmentation or change the default associated programs. It can create backups of the stored user name and passwords or launch the Task Manager in case it has been blocked by malware

Bundles a set of functions that enriches its functionality
But Windows Tricker is more than a simple launcher. It comes with some functions of its own, such as a magnifier, a tool to help you hide a folder inside a picture and options to change the background image of the logon screen.


Improves the overall user experience
Windows Tricker provides you with a way to tweak your system in a way that will enhance your working speed. It provides one-click access to features and options from the context menu and enables you to launch Windows management tools faster.


Compatibility
This application is not 100% compatible with a single operating system. The compatibility depends on your operating system and its type. For example, this application was programmed on Windows 8 Pro and is 93.05% compatible with it. But on Windows 7 Professional it’s 94.44% compatible. On Vista or XP, however, you might see less or more compatibility.

Target Audience
This application (especially the UI) is targeted to beginner and intermediate Windows Users, but if you are a computer geek or a system administrator, this is a must-have application. The application UI is very simple and it can be seen on the screen shots page.
