They're here! PowerToys are additional programs that developers work on after a product has been released to manufacturing. They'll add fun and functionality to your Tablet PC experience.

Note: We've taken great care to ensure that PowerToys operate as they should, but they are not part of Windows XP Tablet PC Edition and are not supported by Microsoft. For this reason, Microsoft Technical Support is unable to answer questions about PowerToys. PowerToys are for Windows XP Tablet PC Edition only.
