Powertoys From: Microsoft URL: http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/info/powertoys.htm For the Windows Shell Development Team, there can never be enough shortcuts for getting stuff done. They've come in late at night, night after night, when everyone else is sound asleep -- real programmers don't sleep - and have put together a set of tools: the PowerToys. We like these tool and we think you will too. So if you're a Windows power-user, go ahead and try them out. Great care has been take to ensure that PowerToys operate as they should. But please keep in mind, these tools are not a part of Windows and are not supported by Microsoft. For this reason, the Microsoft Technical Support is unable to answer questions about PowerToys. By using these unsupported tools, you are using them at your own risk. If you think you're ready to become more productive right away, go ahead and follow the simple setup instructions to download the Power Toys. Here's what's in the Powertoys: NEW!

Kernel Toys From: Microsoft URL: http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/info/kerneltoys.htm The Windows 95 kernel team got kind of jealous of all the attention the shell team has been getting from its PowerToys, so they decided to polish off their own personal toys and make their own web page. Mind you, the kernel folks aren't experts at intuitive user interfaces, so don't expect to see jumping icons and friendly things to click on. (These are the people who do their taxes in hexadecimal.) So if you're a Windows 95 power-user, go ahead and try them out... but don't go crying to our Help Center if you get confused: there's no lifeguard on duty, so you're swimming at your own risk. Don't get us wrong -- they all do what they should -- but they are not part of Windows 95, and are not supported by Microsoft. What's in the Kernel Toys: Conventional Memory Tracker MS-DOS Mode Configuration Wizard Customization Tool Windows Time Zone Editor Windows 95 Keyboard Remap New! Windows Process Watcher New! Windows Logo Key Control for MS-DOS Programs
