Old Favorites Returning from the Original PowerToys

Paint Program for Windows CE

Sound Schemes
Copy one or more of the following custom sound schemes to your H/PC. Use the Sound tab on the Volume & Sounds control panel to activate them. These classic schemes are available: Analog, Metallic, and Organic. This new scheme has clever connection sound effects: Sci-Fi.

Notably Missing

Remote Control for Windows CE
Note: Unfortunately, Remote Control no longer works in version 2.0. The technical reason is that a change to the graphics subsystem no longer allows a 2-1 splitter to be dropped into the video-out system. Thank you all for your positive feedback about enjoying this PowerToy.
