TWEAK UI , POWER CALCULATOR

TWEAK UI

• Just so you know, UI stands for user interface, which is basically what you see when you use Windows
• Anyway, Tweak UI enables you to access part of Windows that Microsoft doesn’t make all that accessible
• For example, you can turn off those wildly annoying bubbles that pop up from the System Tray (bottom right of your screen on the taskbar)
• It also gives you a new tip about Windows XP and some of its hidden capabilities every time you open the program. It’s a fun way to learn about your operating system and customize your computer

POWER CALCULATOR

• For any of you who are math majors, or just enjoy calculating stuff, this power calculator could be very helpful
• You can make graphs, do conversions, and evaluate functions. Calc students, take notice.

IMAGE RESIZER

• With this powertoy, you get an extra option when you right-click on any picture on your computer; resize!
• You get preset options of sizes that you can chose from, our you can specify your own size
• You can also save the picture, or save it as a new picture that you also have the original size saved

WALLPAPER CHANGER

• This powertoy is definitely the most fun
• It is not listed with the rest of the powertoys, so the best way to find is to go to www.microsoft.com and just search for it. It should be the first result.
• This powertoy will help you manage those wallpapers we talked about earlier.
• You can set it to change your wallpaper every 30 minutes, or however often you’d like it to change, set so that on certain dates, it will display a specific wallpaper, and other kinds of options
• In order for the wallpapers to show up in this toy, they must be put into the folder I told you about earlier (the Wallpaper folder)
• This really helps keep your desktop exciting…and it confuses people, too, which is pretty funny
