Power Toys for Windows (Windows 98)

Many computer users enjoy tweaking and customizing their computers. However, at times, this can cause problems with the performance and even the operation of the computer. 

Power Toys is an unofficial add-on (meaning Microsoft does not officially support it even though they include it on the Windows 98 CD)  to Windows. Power Toys allows you to adjust items like:

Mouse
General
Explorer
Internet Explorer
Desktop
My Computer
Control Panel
Network
New menu
Add/Remove menu
Boot
Repair
Paranoia

If you are using Windows 98, put in your Windows 98 and navigate to the following folder:
tools\reskit\powertoy

Read the “read me” file for installation instructions.

Windows 95 users visit the Microsoft site for downloading and instructions.

Windows Me users…it appears that the Windows 98 version works, but is not recommended.
