    PowerToys are additional programs that developers work on after a product has been released to manufacturing.

    Super-Fast User Switcher
    With this PowerToy you can switch between users without having to go through the Logon screen.

    Open Command Window Here
    This PowerToy adds an "Open Command Window Here" context menu option on file system folders, giving you a quick way to open a command window (cmd.exe) pointing at the selected folder.

    Alt-Tab Replacement
    With this PowerToy, in addition to seeing the icon of the application window you are switching to, you will also see a preview of the page. This helps particularly when multiple sessions of an application are open.

    Tweak UI
    This PowerToy gives you access to system settings that are not exposed in the Windows XP default user interface, including mouse settings, Explorer settings, taskbar settings, and more.

    Power Calculator
    With this PowerToy you can graph and evaluate functions as well as perform many different types of conversions.

    Image Resizer
    This PowerToy enables you to resize one or many image files with a right-click.

    CD Slide Show Generator
    With this PowerToy you can view images burned to a CD as a slide show. The Generator works downlevel on Windows 9x machines as well.

    Virtual Desktop Manager
    Manage up to four desktops from the Windows taskbar with this PowerToy.

    Taskbar Magnifier
    Use this PowerToy to magnify part of the screen from the taskbar.

    HTML Slide Show Wizard
    This wizard helps you create an HTML slide show of your digital pictures, ready to place on your Web site.

    Webcam Timershot
    This PowerToy lets you take pictures at specified time intervals from a Webcam connected to your computer and save them to a location that you designate.

    Some of them are quite useful though. Especially the bit on TweakUI for Xp that lets you stop any prog you don't use too often from appearing in the new start menu.
