    Resolved [RESOLVED] Powertoys for XP

    downloaded XP powertoys, installed fine (standard install, all items), but can't seem to find TweakUI, its not listed in the control panel. Where is it?

    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.

    Where are power toys located?

    don't bother downloading power toys xp as it appears to be a beta only and times out when run in xp build 2600. I read somewhere that the official powertoys will be available to download on Oct 25th

    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.
