There are various individual toys, but not a suite that I've been able to
find. A number of the ones all the way back to Win95 will still work in
Win7. Depends on which particular one(s) you're looking for. Try Google-
it's great!

No.

I see a few No answers and then a big fat Yes. Hopefully the OP didn't
stop reading at the first No.

Do you guy's ever learn to understand what you read. The answer was appropriate and
correct that I gave to the OP.

Tell me what is the difference between a 3rd party Tweak Program or a Microsoft
Power Toy program.(big difference) Maybe now you might understand if you know what
both are about.

Looks interesting, thanks

No.

But note Colon's slightly earlier post

No, your answer was incorrect. The OP asked "Is there anything like
MS's Power Toys for Windows 7 Home?" and the program at the link above
is VERY MUCH like TweakUI. It's especially appropriate because TweakUI
is apparently not available for Vista/7 and in addition the 3rd party
tool is free. What's not to like?

Very little difference, mostly UI cosmetics.

No, not direct from Microsoft AFAICT.

However there are quite a number of 3rd party "tweak" utilities. As well as
a slews of gadgets.

In your favourite seach engine try terms such as:

tweak windows 7

and

windows 7 gadgets

I use it. You're right, it ain't bad, but I also wish there were the MS ones
available. Like I said, a number of the older ones will still work in Win7,
depending on what you're wanting.

Isn't there a concern however that using a utility designed for W95 or
XP could cause damage if used in W7?

That's what back-ups and images are for ;-)
Of the ones that have functioned in Vista and now Win7, I haven't seen
anything affected adversely.

I am a great believer in backups, especially image backups that can
restore a system and registry backups. You're preaching to the choir <grin>
