You got curious just because of its name, didn’t you? Well, it’s good to be since this amazing and awesome tool will take you to the Windows XP and Vista back stages. And that’s nota ll, also you will be able to give some orders! How’s that? Pretty cool ah?! And you may be thinking “well… how much it’s going to cost me?” but good news are that if you’re not going to use it with commercial purposes, it’s not going to cost you one buck!!
For those who know the TweakNow PowerPack, the suite of applications for tunning-up Windows from the same vendor, the WinSecret is the exact same set of tools included in that suite under the “System Tweak” main category, so nothing new for them.
On a matrix arrange icons set you will be presented of the main categories of tools, wich also are the functions. You can go over them with your mouse and by clicking the one you like, a new window is displayed. It’s like browsing the web.
Let’s make some comments about the categories and theirs functions:

• Applications: you can enter a title to be displayed on the IE title bar or set Google as your default search engine, just to give you some examples of what you can do from here.
• Control Panel: you can put on some locks and close some doors to prevent unwanted actions on your system.
• Desktop: where you can configure some options for this item such as icons, clean-up assistance and others.
• Miscellaneous: you can disable Task manager, Registry Editor, set up file restrictions, among others functions.
• Network & Internet: including an interesting wizard to optimize Internet browsing.
• Special folders: where you can change the location for foldes like My Documents.
• Start menu: to select categories to display on the menu and appearance characteristics.
• User accounts: an alternative for user accounts administration.
• Windows core: for those experimented users who can go "under the hood".
• Windows Explorer: to select some options for Windows Explorer and IE.
• Windows Startup: to select the applications to run on startup.

A remarkable feature of this application is that automatically creates backup copies, so if you encounter any problems after the cleaning process, you will be able to restore the backups and solve them. This you can do by pushing the Restore Now button on left of the main window.
