After installation, Magic Tweak places a shortcut on your desktop, as well as creates a new folder called "Magic Tweak" which is found by clicking on "Start" and moving to "Programs". Either location will let you start Magic Tweak from the click of a button.

Once you have Magic Tweak started you will be greeted by a registration screen if, and only if, you have not purchased a registration code from Magic Tweak.

Magic Tweak was tested on an Athlon XP 1600+ 1.4 GHz system, with 256 megs of ram, running Windows XP Professional Edition, via a remote desktop connection as well. No problems were encountered upon installation and running the program from a remote location only a few feet from the testing machine. Magic Tweak uses almost no processing power when running, meaning you can have many other programs running while Magic Tweak is running and you don't have to worry about it "stealing" any valuable resources from your other programs.

The settings you change effect every user that logs on to the system, which makes this an ideal tool for Network Administrators of large networks who wish to block potentially dangerous programs from his or her users. Magic Tweak also comes with an option to allow the administrator to password protect the program giving only him or her authority to change any settings within Magic Tweak.
