Control Sysinternals Suite & NirSoft Utilities with a Single Interface

Control Sysinternals Suite & NirSoft Utilities with a Single Interface: "
Sysinternals and NirSoft both provide helpful utilities for your Windows system but may not be very convenient to access. Using the Windows System Control Center you can easily access everything through a single UI front end.



Setup

The first thing to do is set up three new folders in Program Files (or Program Files (x86) if you are using a 64bit system) with the following names (the first two need to exactly match what is shown here):

  • Sysinternals Suite
  • NirSoft Utilities (create this folder only if you have any of these apps downloaded)
  • Windows System Control Center (or WSCC depending on your preferences)

Unzip the contents of the Sysinternals Suite into its’ folder. Then unzip any individual NirSoft Utilities programs that you have downloaded into the NirSoft folder.

All that is left to do is to unzip the WSCC software into its’ folder and create a shortcut.

WSCC in Action

When you start WSCC up for the first time you will see the following message with a brief explanation about the software.

Next the options window will appear providing you an opportunity to look around and make any desired changes. WSCC can access utilities for both suites using a live connection if needed (utilities accessed live are not downloaded).

Note: This occurs on the first run only.

wscc-04

This is the main WSCC window…you can choose the utility that you want to use by sorting through an all items list or based on category.

Note: WSCC may occasionally experience a problem downloading a particular utility if using the live service.

wscc-05

We conducted a quick test by accessing two Sysinternals apps. First PsInfo…

Followed by DiskView. Both opened quickly and were ready to go.

wscc-07

There were no NirSoft Utilities installed on our test system in order to provide a live access example.

wscc-08

Within moments WSCC accessed the CurrProcess utility and had it running on our system. Our recommendation is to download your favorite utilities from both suites (in order to always have easy access to them).

Conclusion

WSCC provides an easy way to access all of the apps in the Sysinternals Suite and NirSoft Utilities in one place.

Note: A PortableApps version is also available.

Improve Windows Security By Closing Open Ports

Improve Windows Security By Closing Open Ports : " A standard Windows operating system has a number of ports open after installation.

Characteristics are a port number, an IP address and a protocol type. This article will give you the tools at hand to identify and evaluate the open ports on your Windows system to make a decision in the end whether they can or should be closed or left open.

Diagnosing a Blue Screen of Death Error in Windows

Diagnosing a Blue Screen of Death Error in Windows : For many years now the famous Blue Screen of Death (BSoD) has been the ultimate indication that something disastrous has happened to make your computer die, but how useful is the information in the BSoD and the respective crash dump file that Windows produces? The best article I ever found explaining the BSoD in depth is here on the Microsoft website, however it’s quite technical and doesn’t discuss how to actually troubleshoot a problem. The crash dump file is just technical details of what was being held in the computer’s memory at the time of the crash, and this will include details on every driver and service that was loaded, and every piece of software that was running. The most useful pieces of information are to be found on the BSoD itself and are highlighted on the screenshot below. These are the BSoD error name, the stop error code and the name of the driver or service that has failed (this last one might not always appea

Use BGInfo to Build a Database of System Information of Your Network Computers

Use BGInfo to Build a Database of System Information of Your Network Computers : " One of the more popular tools of the Sysinternals suite among system administrators is BGInfo which tacks real-time system information to your desktop wallpaper when you first login. For obvious reasons, having information such as system memory, available hard drive space and system up time (among others) right in front of you is very convenient when you are managing several systems. A little known feature about this handy utility is the ability to have system information automatically saved to a SQL database or some other data file. With a few minutes of setup work you can easily configure BGInfo to record system information of all your network computers in a centralized storage location. You can then use this data to monitor or report on these systems however you see fit. BGInfo Setup If you are familiar with BGInfo, you can skip this section. However, if you have never used this tool, it takes ju
