Adds a lot of PC functionality to the Pocket PC. Such as Alt+Tab and Alt+F4 (which closes programs or windows). These functions are used by arseigning  Buttons to them. The Power Toy that lead me to this site is the Clipboard Pane. With this app you can cut, copy and paste anywhere you have a text box. I was having trouble inserting newsfeed URLs, which can be pretty long, in an application on the Pocket PC because I couldnt copy and paste.

The other app that I really like is the AutoPlay. With this utility you can have a program launch when you insert am expansion card, or when it detects a network connection. I store movies and music on a Compact Flash card and I could use this to launch my media player whenever I insert the card.

check it out.

Tried this but it says incompatible with my OS... I got Windows 2003 on my PPC.
Take care,

Did you try downloading only the CAB file and copying it to your Pocket PC, and then double clicking it and installing that way?

Youd want the ARM CAB file.

Even doing the cab I get that "incompatible with your OS" crap. I went ahead and installed it anyway and it's there... the Notepad has the same limitations as Microsoft's... 32 k limit, which ain't dick for the 700 k files that I regularly open.

Still playing with the rest, though.
Take care,

How odd, the site says its Mobile 2003 compatible.

For plain text files I have been using Pocket Word. I recently installed Repligo, a viewer, but the conversion process from PDF to Repligo just wouldnt go. Then again it was 715 page document, and my PC craps out because of lack of memory. When I had Pocket PC 2002 the PDFs in Pocket Acrobat Reader were kind of sluggish, but after a failed Repligo conversion I loaded the 715 PDF to the Axim and the Adobe convertor worked great and the Axim handles the document better with this OS.
