You should see a program group in the start menu called "PowerToy for XP", and Tweak along with the power calculator will be there. At least that's the way it is in the version I got.

BE WARNED! THIS IS WITH REGARDS TO THE LINK ABOVE I POSTED WITH A NEW VERSION OF POWERTOYS.
the version of Tweak UI supplied with Powertoys XP had a strange effect on my desktop and folder icons (in WinXP build 2600) when i enabled the "no arrow on shortcuts" option, the effect being it reduced my icons to 8 colours! the only way i could get them to revert was to select an earlier system restore point.
