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.
Microsoft Says "Note: We've taken great care to ensure that [XP Tablet] 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."
Check out a few "select" PowerToy choices below:
Calculator for Tablet PC
Use the Calculator for Tablet PC in place of your handheld calculator. Simply use your pen to write the numbers for calculations.
Dictionary Tool for Tablet PC
To improve your handwriting recognition results, you can customize the dictionary your Tablet PC uses to interpret your handwriting. You can add your own words or import them from a text file or the Microsoft Office dictionary. You can also use the Dictionary Tool to remove words from the dictionary.
Extended Desktop for Tablet PC
If you like using an extended desktop with your Tablet PC, then this utility is for you. The Extended Desktop for Tablet PC allows you to use the tablet pen to access the portion of the extended desktop that displays on an external monitor. This PowerToy will create a window on your Tablet PC that shows a duplicate image of the desktop on the external monitor. You can then manipulate the objects on the extended desktop within this window.
Hold Tool for Tablet PC
Annoyed by the press and hold functionality of your tablet pen? Download the Hold Tool for Tablet PC and turn off the press and hold functionality for certain controls. Scrollbars, push buttons, check boxes, radio buttons, spinner controls, slider controls, and tab controls will respond immediately when the pen tip touches them.
Thumbnail View
View your journal files in a new light. Use the Windows Explorer Thumbnail View to preview your journal files. Navigate to your journals with quick visual recognition for .jnt and .jtp files.
Web Search Power Tool for Tablet PC
The Web Search Power Tool for Tablet PC allows you to search the Web using Tablet's inking capabilities. Instead of typing in your search, write a word or a phrase in the "inkable" area and your results will show up using your favorite search engine.
