If you know of any reason why a file should not be available from this site,
just let me know and I will look into it. If there is a problem, I will remove

There could be a newer version of the software available from

Autorun.exe v1.1 (32 kb) is a Win32 executable program intended for use with
the Windows 9x/ME/NT4/2000 CD Autorun option. The limitation of the Autorun
option is that it will only run executable programs when the CD is inserted with
the Autorun option enabled. Using Autorun.exe, you can open any number of
documents or start executable files. It also has a fall back strategy in case no
documents can be opened. Useful for making Autorun disks using HTML files.

Clone CD v3.0.5.1 (2.14 Mb) is a powerful CD-Copy program. It writes in
Raw mode, which allows it to have total control on the data written. Therefore,
CloneCD will produce real 1:1 copies of your CDs. Because of its special
operation, CloneCD requires a CD-Writer which is capable of writing in this
mode. Most currently available CD-Writers support this. Further, CloneCD
requires a CD-Reader which supports some specific commands. With the correct
equipment, CloneCD is able to make working copies of (almost) every CD,
regardless if it is copy protected or not. CloneCD is released as shareware. You
may and should try it out. This version of CloneCD works with Windows 95 or 98,
Windows ME, Windows NT 4.x or Windows 2000. The minimum requirements are a
Pentium 133 and 64 Mbytes of RAM.

Not a lawyer from the Justice Dept. Allows you to control shutdowns and
can stop all programs running, if you want it to. A must have for CD burners

ListZapper v1.0 (370 kb) lets you locate and clear the Most Recently Used (MRU) lists on
your system. Most Windows applications (and Windows itself) try to help us out
by remembering information that we use frequently, such as the names of files
most recently accessed, text strings we have searched for, and so on. These MRU
lists are handy, but there are times when we don't want this information to be
maintained, such as when we've been working with sensitive files and don't want
others to know what we were doing. MRU list information for programs that you
rarely use just clutters the registry and thus slows your system. Some
applications(for example, Microsoft Word(give you control over the lists they
maintain, but most applications do not. ListZapper fills this gap.

Power Toys for Windows 95 (490 kb) was written by a "rogue" team of Microsoft programmers, most of these
"toys" work on any version of Windows, except for the TweakUI program
which is meant for Windows 95 only. I have tested Sendtox.inf with WIN9x,
NT4, and 2000. The Send To component is the major reason to have this.
You
can install components individually by right clicking on the desired INF file
and selecting install from the menu that pops up. Sendtox.inf
should be in all Windows installations, if you ask me.

TweakUI for Windows 98 (169 kb) is the TweakUI upgrade for WIN98. Use with Power Toys for Windows 95 for a
complete Power Toys install. Do not use TweakUI for Windows 95 on Windows 98, or
vice-versa. I have never tested this with Windows ME.

rebates, and which ones are still pending? Or maybe how much you actually paid
for items after rebate, coupons, and postage costs are deducted? This freeware

where, when, and how much of your rebates, you'll have a clear record of your

RegClean v4.1a build 7364.1(781 kb) analyzes Windows Registry keys stored in
a common location in the Windows Registry. It finds keys that contain erroneous
values, and after recording those entries in the
Undo.Reg file, it removes them from the Windows Registry.
RegClean does not fix every known problem with the registry. It does not fix a
"corrupt" registry; it only fixes problems with some of the entries
that are in a normal registry. It is very possible that RegClean will not
correct a problem that you have encountered. RegClean will leave any entries in
the registry that it doesn't understand or could possibly be correct.

WinTidy V2.0 ( 752 kb)
When the icons on your Windows desktop are moved out of place, you have to
hunt around to find what you want and you can't work as efficiently. The most
common way to lose your icon layout is when switching to a smaller screen size.
Windows shoves the off-screen icons into view, but doesn't put them back when
you return to the larger screen size. WinTidy can remember your desktop layout
and restore it for you. You can place the icons by hand, or use one of a dozen
predefined layouts to automatically arrange icons in the order you choose. Save
the arrangement as a named layout that you can restore at will, or associate it
with the current screen size. When the screen size changes, WinTidy can
automatically load the associated icon layout. And if you want to pack your
icons into the smallest possible space, WinTidy will put the entire desktop into
"small icons" mode.
