Windows Tools, Help & Guides

my Windows PC member Gary made a Windows Live Toolbar Button to give you quick access to my Windows PC at the click of a button.

If you do not already have the Windows Live toolbar, you can get it here. From the Windows Live toolbar download page:

With Windows Live Toolbar, you always have quick access to Windows Live and Live Search, no matter where you are on the web.

Recently, I showed you how to write a simple VBScript that takes input by text converts it into speech.this script proved to be quite popular and attracted over 180,000 visitors.

Windows Guides reader Harry was inspired by this post and kindly made a tool for all Windows Guides readers. This tool performs the same functions as the original script provided but also gives you a nice graphical user interface to work with when you want your computer to speak back to you. Having your computer speech you can be a lot of fun and now this tool is available to all readers to play around with. In some parts of the world, it still April Fools’ Day– maybe you can think of some fun things you can do with this nifty little program.

You can download this tool for free below:
