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.

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
