Powertoys Package
To download click here Powertoys
95 (full package). Save in a folder then open the .zip file and use the .inf file to
install the apps individually for best results. If you are unfamiliar with Microsoft
Powertoys for Windows 95/98 you should spend some time visitng the following site
PCForrest's
Self-Help Site . (While Microsoft places a disclaimer
saying that these are not intended to be used with Win 98 that is simply because they were
created to work with Win 95)
The Powertoys Package that downloads contains several apps not listed here. Some
worked best under Windows 95 and some have been integrated into Windows 98. Below
are a list of the ones I have used.
