Windows System Control Center (WSCC) allows you to install, update, execute and organize the utilities from various system utility suites. The program either works as an interface or as downloader. The program can work with both utilities suites downloaded or can dynamically grab and run the programs via a web connection. The included Update Manager can check for newer versions of the utilities already installed and can download and install the missing items.
Works with Windows Sysinternals and NirSoft Utilities suites, but also highlights Windows' own utilities.
Note: The setup packages are downloaded from the author's website.

Rapidly becoming a must have on any Windows system. I used to be able to get by with a few settings tweaks, but system advertisements are getting out of hand. |
The computer POST (Power On Self Test) tests the computer, insuring that it meets the necessary system requirements and that all hardware is working properly before starting the remainder of the boot process. If the computer passes the POST, the computer will have a single beep (with some computer BIOS manufacturers it may beep twice) as the computer starts and it will continue to start normally. However, if the computer fails the POST, the computer will either not beep at all or will generate a beep code, which tells the user the source of the problem. This little utility will help you to lookup these beep codes and figure out what they represent.

All the foreground and background colors are standard. Take a look at my screenshot and you will see. Maybe something wrong with your display.

Another fine program from NirSoft seems to work as advertised. Will be great app to see if there is anything happening on the system that is not authorized. I like no installation required. |

Nice utility but I wish I never downloaded it because I keep checking the bags and wind up deleting them all the time!There are really a lot of shellbags-everytime you open a folder it creates a bag.HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ShellNoRoam -DELETE THE SUBKEYS,bagmru and bags then folders will be reset.Helps if windows does not remember folder settings. |
