Tools For Admins and Users

Post by ADF-Deano »

Some little apps i use all the time

File And Disc Utilities

AccessChk

AccessChk allows Administrators to check what access users and/or groups have to resources on the system and network.These include files, directories, Registry keys, global objects and Windows services.Must have for Administrators.

Click Here


AccessEnum

Very powerful security tool shows you who has what access to directories, files and Registry keys on your systems. Use it to find holes in your permissions.

Click Here


DiskExt

Display volume disk-mappings

Click Here


Diskmon

This utility captures all hard disk activity or acts like a software disk activity light in your system tray.

AutoRuns for Windows

See what programs are configured to startup automatically when your system boots and you login. Autoruns also shows you the full list of Registry and file locations where applications can configure auto-start settings.

Process Explorer for Windows

This is a must have.....it shows info on process that are running as well as the company that owns it and version of software.Can also be set to replace Task Manager.I have used this for years.
