Letter Assigner allows to assign any letter to any drive in the system!

This cool tool gives Win95/98 users an option that only Windows NT users have: To reassign drive letters at will! It’s as easy as can be, and also features several other drive management features. By Vadim Burtyansky. For more information, see his web site. DO NOT USE THIS IN WINDOWS XP. You don’t need to, since Win XP has this capability built in. Letter Assigner remebers drives by their serial numbers or by the labels, which provides protection against letter changes after repartitioning or connecting new drives. It also prevents non-bootable situations that may occur when Windows® directory is located on a drive other than C, and the drive changes its letter. ( It contains special mechanism for this purpose, including automatic correction of the files "msdos.sys", "winboot.ini", "config.sys" ). Download it now! ~ Home Page here!

Microsoft’s Power Management Troubleshooter: Power Management Trouble Shooter tool (Pmtshoot.exe). Pmtshoot is a tool to assist you in identifying the program or device driver that is preventing your computer from entering a standby (or suspended) state. Pmtshoot monitors your computer when it suspends, and tries to identify programs or device drivers that may prevent your computer from suspending.

There are different versions of Pmtshoot available, one is on the Windows 98 CD-ROM, and the latest version is located on the Power Management Trouble Shooter tool. This is an improved version. (After you use the utility, it will recommend that you uninstall it. I recommend you follow that advice, and just keep the downloaded zip on hand in case you need it later.)
