TweakUI version?

[Stan Brown]

I have 2.10.0.0; how can I tell whether that's the latest? There's no
version information given at

<http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx

and the download file doesn't have a version number in the filename.

I suppose one answer is download it and install", but that seems a
bit like using a sledgehammer on a mosquito.

Thanks. So I have the latest one already.

How'd you know the version number of the latest? I'd like to be able
to answer questions like this on my own without having to post a
query.

Weird -- any idea how come the huge disparity in sizes?

There are only two versions, and the one with 147KB is the latest ;-) That's
how I remember. Agreed. No version number info provided explicitly in the MS
link. Only quote from the MS link is below:

"Version 2.10 requires Windows XP Service Pack 1 or Windows Server 2003."

I know this question will follow I think Raymond Chen blogged about the
file size 2 years ago, but I'm unable to find the entry now. If David Candy
sees this, he should be able to answer this question.
