WINDOWS2000 's support Tools, listed in the Management Tools section of the total of 9, previously described 7, remaining two, W2000msgs.chm is the Win2K error message meaning of reference, lengthy. is not for the implementation of the utility, want to refer to open to see it; Dumpchk.exe, which is a debugger, uses the generated memory image file (file extension DMP) to analyze the problems in debugging machine running, especially when you encounter a system crash, you can use this debugger to find out why. Given that this is too risky to verify, it is not very useful to the average user, so omit it.
The preceding text, which is limited by length and subject matter, is not covered in detail and is stated as follows:
The utility of these tools is certainly not the same for different levels of users, as far as the average user is concerned, the following few opportunities are available:
1. Registry Console Reg.exe
This tool is the only access to the system and troubleshooting when a system failure results in limited running resources and cannot run Windows. When CW2KP is started, press F8 to go directly to the command line, which is equivalent to executing the "Start-> Run->cmd" for you to use all the command line programs including Reg.exe. Similar to the case where command-line options are selected in Safe mode in Win9x. As can be seen from the previous introduction, Reg.ExE is powerful but lost in tricky. However, as the only channel in the predicament, really have to encounter, only difficulties, there is no choice, so, should work hard to grasp, to be prepared.
2. Residual Program Removal Tool
Encounter new programs are trying to install to the machine, is a fan of the perverse, so the installation failure is very easy to encounter, after the failure, the disk remains a lot of the files can not be used, the registry remains useless key name and key values. Before cleaning up the remnants of these installations, can only manually find, will be able to find out the removal of the finished, can not find the have to let it continue to reside in the machine. Now you can use this tool to carry out a "cleaning" of your machine, especially to clean up the rubbish left in the registry. Now, although you can also get a variety of cleaning tools elsewhere, which is also a leader, but this is "original" parts, the effect should be better and more reliable.
3. List tools for tasks and processes
This tool can give people who want to know more about the operation of the Machine an internal window of observation, especially for those who are just getting started with programming. Related is the task and process abort tool, suitable for the system to understand more in-depth user use, blindly abort the process or task consequences unpredictable. Therefore, it is better not to encourage the novice to try, especially the role of a process is not clear when the hasty suspension.
Microsoft in the Help document stated: These support tools can only ensure that in the English Windows2000 Professional edition of the test is normal, and in other locales without testing---in my verification, there is no conflict, but found the help document provided by the syntax list, The enumeration of the parameters or switches of the command is not exhaustive. For example, the Dumpchk.exe mentioned above, the parameters listed in the document can be 7, but after actually executing DUMPCHK, the list of available options is 10, why not list the last three parameters in the Help document, I haven't found the reason.
