XP Syspad centralizes access to Windows XP functions
by Lee Mathews Oct 27th 2008
If you're looking for a slightly more efficient way to access the numerous built-in features Windows XP provides, Xtort's XP Syspad may be of interest to you.
The program's main window provides basic process information and menus that link to just about every OS function you'd ever be looking for. Examples? MSconfig, sysedit, control userpasswords2, iexpress (self-extracting package creator), services.msc.
These are things I access all the time, so I've gotten used to using win+r and typing the application's name to launch it, so firing up Syspad is saving me more than a couple keystrokes.
It can also show and hide desktop icons, recover XP and Office product keys, display your current IP address, clean temp files, quickly access system folders, much more. The list installed programs is a nice alternative to add/remove programs: it loads in a split second and allows you to launch uninstallers as well as remove items from the programs list.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
