I just got a new PC, which meant upgrading from Windows 98SE to Windows
XP.
I was glad to see an XP version of TweakUI, but I really miss some of the
other Power Toys features.

Is there any way to get the following?

* Desk Menu -- Click the Desk Menu icon on the Tray and get a menu
listing all objects on the desktop. Click a menu item and it opens on
top
of what was already open. All this works without having to minimize
anything.

* Send To Extensions -- These add to the Send To context menu option.
Not
all the features, but the following: Any Folder (which gives a
folder-selection window), Clipboard As Contents (without seeming to open
a
file, copy the file's contents to the clipboard), and Clipboard As Name
(put on the clipboard the complete path to the selected object).

* Target Context Menu -- This is a context menu item that applies to
shortcuts. It has a submenu with such actions as Open Container (open
the
folder containing the target of the shortcut) and Properties (display the
properties of the target, not of the shortcut).

I used all of these frequently and feel somewhat lost without them.

NOTE: Because I was not sure which would be the proper newsgroup for
this
question, I cross-posted. However, I set Followup-To for only
microsoft.public.windowsxp.general.
