NOTE Many utilities in this book require administrator privileges when used in Server Core.
Process Explorer will ask for privilege elevation the moment you start it. You can??™t run this utility
in any version of Windows without an administrator account.
Managing Windows in a New Way
This chapter has provided you with a glimpse of the many command line enhancers available on
the market today. The command line has been around for well over 20 years now, so you won??™t find
any lack of third-party utilities. In fact, the trick is often more along the lines of finding just the right
utility, rather than one that will do the job adequately. This chapter provides you with some ideas
on what is available for you at the command prompt. Utilities such as XXCopy take a simple idea and
make it into something far more useful. However, you might find that you need to look at files in
depth quite often, which makes a utility such as XVI32 incredibly helpful. A good administrator has
an entire toolbox packed with utilities such as these to address specific needs. This chapter helps
you build these skills:
? Using XVI32 to view files in depth
? Moving data with Send To Toys
534 CHAPTER 22 OBTAINING COMMAND PROMPT ENHANCERS
? Checking file integrity using FCIV
? Getting the better XCopy with XXCopy
? Working with shell extensions using ShellExView
? Examining processes using Process Explorer
Now it??™s time for you to begin building your toolbox.
