I thought that the original PowerToys were written after-hours and
unofficially by MS programmers and released via MS's web site as a
courtesy to customers. I understand that MS has never supported
them but they're still distributed via MS's web site. What has
always puzzled me is why MS never incorporated the many nifty toys
into base Windows. It isn't that these things are necessarily
dangerous, they are, in my view, worthwhile additions to the O/S
and should be supported.
