Win2K's version of NTFS supports directory symbolic links, where a directory serves as a symbolic link to another directory on the computer. For example, if the directory D:SYMLINK specified C:WINNTSYSTEM32 as its target, then an application accessing D:SYMLINKDRIVERS would in reality be accessing C:WINNTSYSTEM32DRIVERS. Directory symbolic links are known as NTFS junctions in Win2K. Unfortunately, Win2K comes with no tools for creating junctions - you have to purchase the Win2K Resource Kit, which comes the linkd program for creating junctions. I therefore decided to write my own junction-creating tool: Junction. Junction not only allows you to create NTFS junctions, it allows you to see if files or directories are actually reparse points. Reparse points are the mechanism on which NTFS junctions are based, and they are used by Win2K's Remote Storage Service (RSS), as well as volume mount points.
If you want to view reparse information, the usage for Junction is the following:
Usage: junction [-s] <directory or file name>
-s Recurse subdirectories.
If you want to create or delete a junction, use Junction like this:
Usage: junction [-d] <junction directory> [<junction target>]
To delete a junction specify the -d switch and the junction name.

DiskMon is an application that logs and displays all hard disk activity on a Windows system. You can also minimize DiskMon to your system tray where it acts as a disk light, presenting a green icon when there is disk-read activity and a red icon when there is disk-write activity. |

ListDLLs x86

A question that I often get asked is Do you know of a utility that will show me which DLLs are loaded on Windows 9x or NT? . The answer I gave up until recently was no , until I discovered a tool in the Windows NT Resource Kit called tlist that does show this information. I decided to write a free-ware version, ListDLLs. Unlike tlist, however, ListDLLs is able to show you the full path names of loaded modules - not just their base names. In addition, ListDLLs will flag loaded DLLs that have different version numbers than their corresponding on-disk files (which occurs when the file is updated after a program loads the DLL), and can tell you which DLLs were relocated because they are not loaded at their base address. |

Using MakePWL you can automate PWL files creation. This can be useful for system administrators who need to pre-configure multiple computers. MakePWL supports traditional GUI interface as well as command line and OLE Automation.

CacheSet v1.0

CacheSet is an applet that allows you to manipulate the working-set parameters of the system file cache. Unlike CacheMan, CacheSet runs on all versions of NT and will work without modifications on new Service Pack releases. In addition to providing you the ability to control the minimum and maximum working set sizes, it also allows you to reset the Cache's working set, forcing it to grow as necessary from a minimal starting point. Also unlike CacheMan, changes made with CacheSet have an immediate effect on the size of the Cache. Full source code is included.
Use CacheSet to performance tune the system Cache size in a way not possible without tweaking internal variables the way CacheMan does.
Note: To use CacheSet on NT 4.0 Service Pack 4 and later you must have the Increase Quota privilege (administrator accounts have this privilege by default). CacheSet has been updated to enable this privilege so that it works on SP4. |
