| First, I had the wrong damn link.

| Do the Win95 PowerToys work in Windows 98, Windows Millennium, and Windows
| XP?

| Are any of these programs dangerous to use in Windows 98, ME, or XP?
| Shortcut Target Menu may be a problem if you use an early version of
| PowerToys. This one was originally broken, but the problem is fixed in later
| releases. (We call this the “Early TargetToy Bug.” This is why I recommend
| you download and install a current version of the PowerToys, rather than use
| a copy you downloaded in the past.) If an early version of Shortcut Target
| Menu is installed on an upgrade to any post-Win95 operating system,
| right-clicking on any shortcut will cause Windows to crash. A Registry patch
| to fix this problem (based on information from MS-MVP Alex Nichol) can be
| downloaded
|
| Problems of TweakUI 1.33 in Windows XP: (1) Do not use the “Log on
| automatically at startup” feature (on the Logon tab). This causes Win XP to
| freeze during startup, requiring a reinstallation to get past it. (2) Based
| on input from TweakUI’s creator, Raymond Chen, MS-MVP Alex Nichol
| additionally advises against using any of the features on TweakUI’s Desktop
| tab — the primary concern being item (1) below concerning changing the first
| item on the desktop. (3) In general, avoid the problems mentioned below that
| apply to other post-Win95 versions of Windows.
|
| In TweakUI ver. 1.33, there are a few small, bothersome bugs in Windows
| versions later than Win95. The following list was compiled by numerous
| MS-MVPs and other participants in the Microsoft newsgroups supporting
| Windows ME. I’ve added notes in brackets. (None of these issues applies to
| TweakUI XP.)
|
| 1. Do not change the first icon (My Computer) on the Desktop tab.
| Doing this disables some desktop context menu items on Windows ME.
| 2. Do not uncheck “Search Results” on the Desktop tab.
| You’ll lose the search function altogether — again, this is a Win ME issue.
| In Win XP, this produces a yellow triangle with an exclamation point.
| 3. Do not hide the TweakUI icon on the Control Panel tab.
| It will be difficult to use TweakUI if you do!
| 4. Do not uncheck “Show Control Panel on Start Menu” on the IE tab.
| You’ll be unable to access the Control Panel at all — including using
| TweakUI to change it back! The fix is here.
| 5. Do not uncheck “Shell Enhancements” on the IE tab.
| You’ll lose more functions than you might think!
