Open Command Window Here, which lets you right-click a folder in My Computer and choose a new "Open Command Window Here" option. Image Resizer, which lets you right-click an image or group of images and resize them to other sizes more suitable for email or the Web. The slideshow works in any Windows 9x (or later) version and provides efficient autorun functionality when you insert the CD-ROM in a PC. CD Slide Show Generator, which gives you the option to add a slideshow application to a CD-ROM on which you've burned pictures and other images (using XP's shell CD-burning capabilities). This PowerToy is much slower than the usual ALT+TAB function, however, even on high-end hardware. Alt-Tab Replacement, which adds a visual representation of each active window on your screen as you use the ALT+TAB key combination to switch tasks.
Also, the PowerToys now are individual installs, rather than one integrated install. Sadly, the 2-month absence didn't result in any new features, although Microsoft removed several tools, including the ISO Recorder and the Super Fast User Switcher, that were available previously. Thanks to Bob Stein and the other readers who told me about the rerelease of Microsoft's PowerToys for Windows XP, a set of utilities for power users that was inexplicably unavailable for a few months.
