DBsys

DBsys is a lightweight Windows application whose purpose is to help you perform several tweaks to your operating system, like disabling or enabling Windows key, Caps Lock, and file extensions, fixing keyboard language issues, launching several Windows programs, as well as deactivating unused services.

The utility comes bundled in a portable package which makes it an ideal candidate for being stored on USB flash drives. You can gain access to its interface by running the executable file (there’s no setup included in the process).

DBsys makes use of a multi-tabbed environment for organizing the multitude of system tweaks. There’s no support for a proper help manual, only some shorts descriptions about the application’s capabilities are displayed directly in the main window.

You can use the tooltip system which shows details about a specific parameter whenever you hover your mouse cursor over the target function.

In order to make use of the tool’s features, you need to have administrative privileges. A log is kept with details about all performed actions and possible errors.

DBsys is able to show data about the current operating system, name of the PC and user, size of the screen, date, idle time and uptime, as well as IP address. You also get access to several websites that help you check out your external IP address, test if ports are open, and view your router’s settings.

The utility gives you the possibility to perform several registry tweaks for disabling error report, hibernation file, last accessed time stamps, ‘Open with’ dialog box for Internet searches, UAC, file extensions, and several keys like Caps Lock and Left/Right Windows.

In case you have experienced problems with your keyboard, like characters from other languages, you can make DBsys wipe all languages besides English.

If you spend a lot of time looking for the locations where Windows utilities are stored, DBsys creates a list with several important options that you can open with a single click, such as Control Panel, Windows Explorer, MSConfig, Regedit, Calculator, Notepad, Disk Clean-up, Magnifier, Paint, and Task Manager.

You are given the freedom to disable several services, such as window and transparency effects, and Windows updates. Several Windows 7 services can be turned off, like SuperFetch, Windows search, Windows Defender, Windows backup, and Windows Firewall service.

DBsys gathers several useful features under its hood for helping you perform fast system tweaks without having to go through lengthy and complex configuration settings.
