    Is it possible to use XP Power Toys on Windows Vista

    I am getting ready to run Vista Business upgrade on existing XP SP2 Prof
    machine that has the following 6 XP Power toys installed on it. After upgrade I found that XP power toys is not working on Vista. I had see only some of them is working. I thought I would be able to use all of them under compatibility mode. Is that possible or there is a set of power toy tool also available for Vista.

    There are less chances that all tools will work. But still you can use some at compatibility mode. By the way there are number of different alternatives that you can go for. You can try out many similar tools that work really well. You must try to locate proper alternative for the same.

    Yes there are tons of alternative tools that are available. You an opt for the best one. I will not recommend you to stick with power toys. There are many better tools that are available for Vista. There are chances that some of them work if you install them separately. Or else there is no way you can find them in Vista.
