[Question] - Discontinued PowerToys

[Ashimema]

Hi, I don’t think this is answered anywhere yet. Any idea’s where I can get some of the old WinXP PowerToys, namely the “SuperFast User Switching” one that set “WinKey Q” as a shortcut User Switching system.

And, more importantly, I know that MS discontinue PowerToys after problems are found, I believe this one was discontinued because it open up a security hole. Any idea, how and what the hole was. If it was fixable, and if there is an app somewhere that does the same job a different way, but securely?

Cheers,

Ash

If there was a workaround, Microsoft would most likely have issued a patch instead of retract the tool altogether.
