Microsoft engineers began developing tools to add functionality and convenience to their work, during development of Window 95. At some point, a decision was made to release these tools to the public, under the title, "PowerToys". "Toys" they are not! Some are simply useful utilities (add-ons) amplifying productivity. Others, are more powerful - dangerously powerful, in the wrong hands.

This link PowerToys WiKi illustrates and explains each tool, in a fashion similar to the screen shots in this article, but in more detail.
