   Excellent.
   I installed the English version on three different language platforms, they work flawlessly on all.
   Many good tools with the most useful one, the Tweak UI which gives easy access to the most commonly used Windows settings that otherwise might need some technical preparedness to change through your OS. Good one.
   
   Fileforum gives us a link to Microsoft Powertoys download page, however there is one better, the Microsoft Powertoys homepage for downloading tools separately.

   A few extra tweaks now. Nice little dealio from MS.
   Just curious, to the earlier poster with install troubles, did you uninstall the previous version of Tweak first ?
   I've installed it on 5 different machines so far, and it's all going well.

   This new version has the option for changing the "grace period" of the screensaver - ie. how many seconds before a password is required to unlock your machine. As well as "access control" features.

   Seems as though the only powertoy that was updated was TweakUI, which now is only compatible with WinXP SP1 or later and Windows Server 2003. I didn't see much else new in the new TweakUI except maybe the ability to have a custom animation for Internet Explorer (top right, busy anim)
