Is there anything like MS's Power Toys for Windows 7 Home? It
doesn't look like in the MS forums.

Never ever underestimate the incompetent.

There are various individual toys, but not a suite that I've been
able to find. A number of the ones all the way back to Win95 will
still work in Win7. Depends on which particular one(s) you're looking
for. Try Google- it's great! :-)

I use it. You're right, it ain't bad, but I also wish there were the MS
ones available. Like I said, a number of the older ones will still work
in Win7, depending on what you're wanting.
Isn't there a concern however that using a utility designed for W95 or
XP could cause damage if used in W7?

That's what back-ups and images are for ;-)
Of the ones that have functioned in Vista and now Win7, I haven't seen
anything affected adversely.

I am a great believer in backups, especially image backups that can
restore a system and registry backups. You're preaching to the choir grin
