Two Ways to Get More From XP
Hidden Utilities XP allows you to run dozens of tools in XP's applets grab bag. It's super for occasional-use XP tools like Component or Windows Services, or for one of the dozens of command-line tools such as IPConfig or the ever-popular Logman.
Taskbar Shuffle lets you rearrange the order of applications on your Windows taskbar. Drag an item to another spot on the taskbar and drop it. I use this utility to keep items in the exact order I want. Way cool. Both tools are free.
