CalmSoftware

This project was inspired by a job I had not too long ago. I was asked to take inventory of hardware and software on a bunch of PCs. I decided to find an easier method than sitting down at each PC and clicking around for 10-15 minutes. I learned some VB Scripting over the course of 9 hours on my own time. Impressed by what programming could do in my IT world, I wanted to create useful programs. VB Scripting was far too limited for what I wanted to do, so I learned Visual Basic. I started this project in the middle of December 2013.

Everything you see here I learned by Google or by asking on the Technet forums. In regards to the Windows Services area, big thanks to http://www.blackviper.com and http://www.tweakhound.com

About a month ago, I decided to see if there was anything else like my program. I now realize Ultimate Windows Tweaker does much more than my program does. I am glad I didn't look before I started this program, otherwise I never would have attempted it. I've learned quite a lot by doing this program, and will continue to work on it considering the time I've invested. Originally, I wasn't going to make this open source. After discovering Ultimate Windows Tweaker, I needed to make this different (in a good way). UWT is not open source, to my knowledge.

My code isn't going to be pretty. (The interface itself could, perhaps, use improvement.) I've definitely tried my best, and am absolutely still willing to keep improving it. This is my first venture, doing open source software (doing software development at all, actually).

This project absolutely depends on your input. Please report any bug or issue you find. If you have a suggestion, I'd love to hear it.
