PowerToy-Calc

One of the great tools you can get with the PowerToys I talked of earlier is the PowerToy Calculator. A feature you may not be expecting with the application is tools for converting a variety of measurements from English to Metric equivalents and more.

As you can see from the screen shot above, all the basics you probably wonder about frequently are available.

In addition to the conversions, you get all your basic calculator option, including graphing and trig functions too. You know all that cool stuff you used to use with your Texas Instruments T51 calculator in high school.

The Simple Things - Fade to Gray Desktop

This will sound really weird, but one of my favorite little things about Windows is the way the desktop grays out after certain events occur with the operating system.

I realize that the amount of intelligence and programming it took to make that happen is probably less than it takes to operate my Texas Instruments calculator back in high school.

I don’t really know why I like it so much, I just do. There’s no real functionality in it, I just like it.

What are some of the unsung features you love in Windows that nobody else on Earth probably even realizes exists? But for you, if it weren’t there, there would be a little binary hole somewhere in your life?
