| Webcam Timershot Tip: Microsoft recently released a free download for Windows XP called PowerToys. These are a set of utilities and enhancements for Windows XP that add many new features and functions. Seasoned Windows users swear by the PowerToys for past Windows versions, and this latest crop of toys will not disappoint them. They are not officially supported by Microsoft, so they are install-at-your-own-risk. One of the PowerToys that you may find useful is the Webcam Timershot. This toy allows you to use a webcam to snap (and save) pictures to a file at specified time intervals. You can customize the name and location of the file, and whether that file is overwritten with the most recent snapshot. | |||||||
