The "secret Weapon" in Windows2000 (II.)

Windows2000 Chinese Professional Edition (hereinafter referred to as CW2KP) Support tools are divided into built-in and additional two kinds: built-in tools are provided within the system, many people familiar with the safe mode of startup is a typical built-in tool, the use of such tools, not the list of this discussion, It can also be found in CW2KP Help files, additional tools are provided by Microsoft, storage location, how to install, how to get help, etc., you can refer to the contents of the previous article. From the beginning of this article, we will introduce the classification, function and usage of these additional tools. The information presented seeks to be accurate and reliable and, to the maximum extent practicable, validated. However, some of the verification work is difficult to implement, limited to the level and conditions of the person. If you find mistakes or improper, sincerely hope that friends do not hesitate to correct me.

In order to adapt to different environments, a number of features are available in both versions, with versions that are available in the Windows environment, as well as command line applications. Which version to use depends on the use of the tool, the available environment, the flexibility required, and even personal habits. Divided by function, these additional tools are divided into: Computer Management, deployment configuration, diagnostics, file and disk operations, network management, execution tools 6 categories. Each class consists of an unequal number of executable files and secondary files. It is important to point out to friends that the "power" of these tools is very large (e.g., disk and file operation Management), which can be deeply manipulated, including modifying the main boot record sector of the hard disk. Therefore, it can be said that the use of appropriate, its good medicine, improper use, its poison blade! So before you do, be sure to understand the possible consequences, in the process, the need for a step to think twice is not to worry about!

This is the first to introduce a simple and widely used tool:

1. Application Compatibility Tools

This tool mainly resolves problems with CW2KP when installing or running, with a for Windows version and a command line version. When a program has been found to be abnormal in CW2KP, or is explicitly required to run in a particular version of the operating system, you can perform the "Start-Program-Support compatibility Tools", a dialog box appears after the mouse clicks, There are three major items available in the dialog box: the first is to point out the conflicting program, you can directly enter the program executable file name and the full path, you can click the Browse button to find a choice; the second option is to select the appropriate operating system. Click with the mouse to determine the appropriate version of the operating system with a single selection. Both of these are easier. The third item includes four options: The meaning is as follows:

A, (Disable Heap Manager on Windows 2000) disables CW2KP heap management, which can run after disabling, but at a cost that is a decrease in operational efficiency. B, (Temp folder path incompatibility) uses a compatible temporary folder and path, and some old applications do not recognize a directory (folder) that is named after a long file name rule, select this to create a temporary directory for the old rule.

c, (correct disk spaces detection for 2-gb+ drives) probe the correct disk space, some applications because of the use of different data types with CW2KP, there will be differences in the calculation of disk space, it is found that the case can be selected.

D, make the above check box settings permanent, permanently save the above compatibility settings, if you have set the above items, you have resolved the compatibility of the program, you can select the item, the results of these settings will be permanently saved, The tool will automatically add these settings to the registry. When you run the program again later, the original compatibility issue will no longer occur.

After the settings, click OK, if you want to see detailed instructions in English, you can click the Help button. Others need not say more. The command line syntax for this tool is as follows:

Commands and Parameters

Apcompat [-?] [-V Version name] [x Program Path] [d] [-T] [-G] [K]

Apcompat command name

-? Display syntax and parameters

-V corresponds to the second item mentioned above, with the number representing the specified operating system version name, and the version corresponds to the following number:

1 WindowsNT4 SP3. 2 WindowsNT4 SP4.

3 WindowsNT4 SP5. 4 Windows98.

5 Windows95.

-X program file path: the equivalent of the first item, which specifies the name and path of the executable file you want to run.

-D corresponds to the function of a in the third item above

-T corresponds to the function of B in the third item above.

G is equivalent to the function of C in the third item above.

K equals the function of D in the third item above

If you use the tool in a for Windows version, and you get perceptual knowledge, the syntax in the command line is easy to understand.
