Explanation of the diagnostic tools of Windows2000 secret weapon

1. How do I get the meaning of a noun term?

In the support tool, you'll find a file named: Glossary, which has most of the terminology meaning. Open this file, you will see an alphabetical list of the term Index table, the index uses Hypertext link technology, you can query. For example, to find: what is the meaning of English abbreviation SNMP, you can click on the index table in the mouse, all the first letter is the terms of s will be displayed, and then find SNMP, the following will see the meaning of the text. These texts are of course also in English. Another approach is that in the help documentation for each tool, the acronyms are also annotated with hypertext links, which are especially obvious, with the mouse clicking on them and the annotations can be displayed. But these annotations are relatively straightforward.

2. Command parameters in the document is not the same as in the prompts:

This is a phenomenon that has been mentioned several times in this series: I first read the introductory document for the tool command, and then verify the things I saw on the machine. As with other programs, before I use, I have to habitually look at the program's online prompts or help. This saw the problem and found that there were discrepancies in the online hints and help documents. Of course, there are a few discrepancies, most of which correspond perfectly. The discrepancy is not limited to diagnostic tools, as has been described in the management. Is there a tool in the back, I have not come and read. The access to the part, there are parameters, there are switches, there are many there are less, have seen more than this here less, as the details, the article has pointed out, it is not repeated here. So, when you use the support tool, don't trust the help document too much, and be sure to look at the online prompts.

3. Can not underestimate the Cmd.exe

The working environment of support Tools is relatively "bad", not limited resources, or system failure. In such a limited resource or failure of the environment to work, like in a square inch of the land to show thousands of weather, its difficult to imagine. Therefore, you can only select a command line that occupies less resources. Since the command line is used, a command interpreter is required. In Windows2000, the command interpreter is cmd.exe. This is a small and seemingly obscure procedure. The successful interface has not yet Win95, 98 DOS mode window engaging. But after using it, I thought it was a very powerful procedure.

Many of the programs in the support tool can only be run based on CMD, and there are tools that run in both environments (command-line and GUI environments).

CMD itself with very detailed information, in the Chinese Professional version of Windows2000, CMD online information is also Chinese, so it is very convenient to use. In the hint message, there is also the so-called Extended command, which is somewhat like an external command in DOS. The full extension commands are as follows:

Command line extensions include changes and/or additions to the following commands:

DEL or ERASE

COLOR

CD or CHDIR

MD or MKDIR

PROMPT

PUSHD

POPD

SET

SETLOCAL

Endlocal

IF

For

Call

SHIFT

Goto

START (also includes changes made to external command calls)

ASSOC

FTYPE

For more information, type the help command name.

Open the command-line program CMD has the following ways: 1. Click "Start-> Run-> browse", find "cmd.exe" after "OK", you can start. 2. If you have a support tool installed, the command-line tool will be displayed in the Desktop menu, where: Start-Program-windows Support Tools-tools-command prompt. 3. After the boot or reboot, according to the screen prompts, timely press the F8 key, then there will be a choice of boot mode menu, select the Safe mode with the command line to boot, you can directly into the command line interface. Because Windows2000 is very strict with security, even in this case, you must log in with a password before you can successfully start.

CMD is not designed for support tools only, nor can it be used without the support tools installed. It's actually a shell of the whole system's core. Therefore, the original DOS command can still be used in the windows of CMD. If you want to exit cmd, you can return to Windows2000 by typing "exit" after the system prompt symbol, and then entering.
