Is there a way to get only select PHM Plus or Power Tools apps? There are only 2 or three i need and don't want to install both batches (entirely)... anyone know if this is possible? thanks.

I've asked Philippe for the same thing. All I can say is to ask him as well. "The squeaky wheel gets the grease." So start squeaking.

No. But if enough people ask for it, maybe he'll humor us.

Some of the apps can be extracted from the cab files and installed by themselves, rather than installing the package and removing components. You can actually do this with any of the apps, but most have some cleanup code for uninstalling, which you would not have if you extract and install individual apps. I use TrayLaunch and Reset. Both of these can be extracted from the cab and installed directly, since they do not create entries all over the place and can be easily removed if I need to uninstall them.

Since many of the apps register themselves all over the place (as noted in Philippe's post), you need to be very careful if you extract and install them individually.

Also, Philippe's stuff is freeware, but he does have a Paypal link on his site for donations. A lot of time went into creating these apps and he has a site to maintain, so we can access them. I sent him money and I hope others who use his stuff will do so as well.
