Microsoft Re-releases Powertoys For Windows XP With New Tools! | |
|
||
| Time: 07:32 EST/12:32 GMT | News Source: E-Mail | Posted By: Julien Jay | ||
Despite the fact, the page linked in the header doesn't mention anything special, Microsoft has indeed silently released a new version of the Windows XP PowerToys. What's the difference you're wondering? Well two new utilities have been included! The ISO burner lets you burn ISO using the built-in burning engine of Windows XP, while the Audio Shell Player offers buttons to control the playback of MP3s, WMAs from the Windows taskbar to save valuable screen estate. |

| Man this shell audio player is awesome. I am surprised nobody did this before. I like it even better than winamp now. |

To install:
- First, uninstall any existing PowerToys for XP To enable audio player: - Right click on your Toolbar and go to Toolbars-> and then Zaxxon To change settings or title of player - Click on the little (^) button, then its self explanitory Comments: Why didn't they integrate this with WMP? Now I have to maintain two seperate playlists! Argh! I really like the little semi-transparent window that pops up when you hover your mouse over the toolbar! Well, the ISO burner is completely useless for me considering that XP only supports like 2 burners for its intergrated burning (which, of course, doesn't include my Plextor CDRW). Has anyone had any problems with TimeShot BSOD'ing? I have a web cam and I ran TimeShot and I just get a BSOD every time I run it. WTF? |

| #7, you can already burn audio CD's, XP does via WMP8. |

| #16, no, MS was doing this before XP was even released... and I'm sure it's licensed from Roxio. |
