I’m looking for a set of software tools for windows 2K Pro called either power toys or power tools. I thought they were made by Microsoft but not really advertised?

Among other things, one of the tools included in the suite was a utility called tweakUI that would allow you (among other things) to delete programs that you can’t delete from control panel.

I’ve seen similar tools for win98, xp, and NT, but not 2000. Anybody have any useful info?

Thanks

A search for “Power Toys” on [annoyances.org](http://www.annoyances.org) turned up versions for Win95 and XP, but nothing for Win2K. It appears, however, that the TweakUI module will work on all versions of Windows.

X-Setup from X-teq is far superior than Tweakui for Windows 2k. Check it out…
