Which ones would you guys recommend? Only ones that look that interesting to me are the TweakUI and maybe the Power Calculator.

Thanks for the link tho :)

Cool, thanks!

Be wary of the Alt-tab replacement though, it doesn't tab through apps like normal alt-tab does. If your used to alt-tabbing the old way, this change will drive you crazy.

Sorry, no PowerToys for Win 2000. Just for the consumer versions of Windows (95, 98, ME, XP).

bump for those who haven't seen this yet.
TweakUI really ought to be built into Windows, it's that good.

Thanks I have been waiting for these. I always thought that they were well worth having.

Do these new ones work with W2k? The older XP PowerToys worked well with W2k.

It doesn't look like they work with w2k anymore. I just tried tweakui and it didn't work...

OK, anybody has a link to a mirror with older powertools? That would be one hell of a deal. Sux2K works OK for me--don't see a reason to upgrade to SuxXP...

<< why did they pull it before? I manged to get it then... but curious to if anyone knows why they yanked it. >>



They were pulled because one of the appz gave WinXP Pro login to network powers to WinXP home version, which it wasn't supposed to have (or some feature to that effect; the login thing is what I was told. May be not quite accurate). Microsoft pulled them so there is more of a difference between the OSes.

I haven't tried the XP version yet, but TweakUI was my favorite back in Win98. That power calc looks like a fun toy too. It'll be nice not to reach into my backpack for my graphing calculator when I'm doing homework. Thanks overclock (and Microsoft!).
