HappyAndyK from over at The Windows Club let me know about a new cool tool. It’s called Windows Access Panel for Windows 7 & Vista.

We are pleased to release Access Panel for Windows 7 & Vista. While you can use Control Panel to change settings which control nearly everything about how Windows looks and works, in some cases to access these very controls , or the in-built Windows programs, requires you to engage in multiple clicks or know their names. Windows Access Panel v 1.0 is meant to minimize your trouble in accessing such programs. It has been tested on Windows 7 & Windows Vista…With this program, you have all, or at least most of such programs at your fingertips. The present download is for 32-bit version only; 64-bit version will be added soon.

It looks to be quite a handy tool, I look forward to trying it out once a 64-bit version is released.

Mozilla now has a Firefox Plugin Check page. Pretty nifty time-saver. This feature will be part of Firefox 3.6.

Mozilla now also has what they call a Full Security Suite. A must have collection of security addons for the security minded. Check on the Firefox collections page for more cool collections.

Updates to the above 2 popular apps as well as others. See the Sysinternals Blog for download & info.

Updates include Process Monitor v2.7 and Autoruns v9.54. See the Sysinternals Blog for download and info.
