Upgrading and Repairing Microsoft Windows (2nd Edition)

Programs Provided with Windows

This appendix lists all of the programs installed by Windows Setup on Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows XP Home Edition, Windows XP Professional, and Windows XP Media Center Edition. It also lists programs installed by Windows Update and Automatic Updates.

The purpose of this appendix is to help you identify programs that you find running in your Task Manager window, and to let you browse for interesting standard programs that you might not be aware of. The programs fall into several categories:

Graphical User Interface (GUI) programs, such as Notepad and Internet Explorer. GUI programs are delivered as executable files with an .EXE filename extension.

Command-line (console) utilities such as ping and dir . Most command-line programs are delivered as executable ( .EXE and .COM ) files, with the exception of a few script files ( .VBS and .JS ), and some "built-in" commands that are handled directly by the Windows command prompt processor ( cmd.exe on Windows 2000 and XP, command.com on Windows 98 and ME).

Control Panel applets, screensavers, and Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-ins. The files have corresponding filename extensions: .SCR for screensavers, .MSC for MMC snap-ins, and .CPL for Control Panel applets.

Components such as device drivers, Windows services, and programs used solely as "helper" components of other programs. These programs may have a filename extension that makes them look like standard programs, but they are not useful on their own.

This appendix does not list the optional programs installed from the \TOOLS folder on the Windows Setup CD-ROM, although it does lists a few subcomponents of these tools that end up under your \windows folder. The tools themselves are listed in Appendix A, "Windows Tool Reference."

Running Applications and Components

Applications can be started in the following ways:

GUI and command-line programs can be run from shortcuts, from Windows Explorer, or, if they are in a folder listed in the PATH environment variable, by typing their name at the prompt in a Command Prompt window.

Script files can be run from the command line by name, or can be forced to run in GUI or command-line mode with the wscript or cscript commands, respectively. For more information on scripting, see Chapter 9, "Windows Commands and Scripting."

MMC snap-ins can be run using the start command, for example

start compmgmt.msc

or by installing them into an MMC panel. On Windows XP and 2000, you can run an MMC snap-in with Administrator privileges by typing the command

runas /user:Administrator "cmd /c xxxx.msc"

Control Panels applets can be run from the Control Panel or from the command line, as in this example:

control timedate.cpl

On Windows 2000 and XP, you can run a Control Panel applet with Administrator privileges by typing the command

runas /user:Administrator "control xxxx.cpl"

This technique does not work with ncpa.cpl , however.

Screensavers can be configured and previewed (respectively) using the following commands:

start xxxx.scr /c start xxxx.scr /s

Device drivers and services cannot be run directly, but are managed by tools such as the Services MMC snap-in ( services.msc ) or the net start command-line utility. Some Windows services are packaged as .DLL files and are executed by the svchost .exe program. Services are discussed in Chapter 4.

Command-Line Syntax

To use a command-line utility, you have to know its particular command-line syntax; that is, you have to know how to add options, filenames, and other control information to the command line. To get help for a given commandlet's call it xxx there are four things to try, in this order:

Search for xxx in the Windows Help and Support Center.

Type xxx -? | more in a command prompt window.

Type help xxx | more in a command prompt window.

Perform a Google search for Windows command xxx .

Note

The more command is used to keep text from scrolling out of view if there's more than one screen. If some text is displayed and then the printout stops, press the spacebar to display the next screen.

There's no way to tell beforehand which one or more of these methods will work, so you should try all four. For more information on using command-line programs, see Chapter 9.
