PowerToys (TweakUI) for WinXP

[scuzzy]

Microsoft has made PowerToys available for Windows XP (unsupported, of course). You'll find the link here at Microsoft site. Unfortunately, this new program only works under XP. So don't bother trying to install it to previous Windows versions. The following is from Scot Finnie:

quote:Tweak UI XP (version number 2.00.0.0) is significantly updated in

this version, which, by the way, is the first to run as an .EXE file

instead of as a Control Panel. Not only won't you recognize it, but

it has many features designed to support and control features

specific to Windows XP. There are also recurring favorites, like

removing the "Shortcut to..." appended to the label of newly created

shortcuts, the ability to automatically logon, and several ways to

control Document History. I'm very impressed with this version of

Tweak UI.



Another improvement is the PowerToys installer, which uses an Office

XP-style selective install/uninstall. This means you can easily

install all 11 PowerToys and selectively remove the ones you don't

care for after you try them out. The 11 PowerToys are Tweak UI 2.0,

Virtual Desktop Manager, Super-Fast User Switcher, Open Command

Window Here, Alt-Tab Replacement, Power Calculator, Image Resizer,

CD Slide Show Generator, HTML Slide Show Wizard, Taskbar Magnifier,

and Webcam Timershot. You'll find brief descriptions at the

PowerToys URL (above).
