  1. Review - Microsoft PowerToys for Windows XP

    2.0 (Apr 24, 2002)

    This is just a note for mrzootsuit if he looks back here:

    run "regedit" go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\WindowMetrics
    And change the entry ShellIconBPP from 32 to 16, you'll get your high colour icons back.
    May need a reboot, or just change your visual style and it should refresh it.

    The only usefull powertoy for a long time has been TweakUI, although the media player would've been good if it wasn't so buggy.

  2. Review - WinMessenger

    1.2.5 Beta 3 (Dec 7, 2001)

    I get the same problem in Windows XP final. Black icons instead of the graphics. Also tested on a 98 machine, get "Unable to open mailbox to store messages" error.
