Here we will be compiling a list of items which will be highly useful for people who are power users or superusers.
Power Users or Powerusers are people who command full control of their computer; e.g. a poweruser uses command prompt, advanced windows variables like shell extensions, etc; hacking software to get it to work how they want it; etc.
Superusers are like power users but it refers to more than just power over your own environment but also a wider scope. For example, a superuser make be good at developing programs and applications, hacking web software to get it to work how they want it, programming web servers, etc.
If you are a poweruser or superuser and want to submit your own tip to the list so that you can help many people, if your submission is approved we will allow you to add a link to your developer site or other non-advertising site as a credit for the tip.
