Sysinternals Tool List
will introduce you to the impressive Windows
programs/applications/tools developed by Sysinternals. Everyone here at
M.I.C.A. is very thankful for them. The Sysinternals web site was created in 1996 by
Mark
Russinovich and Bryce Cogswell to host their advanced system
utilities and technical information, and after many determined years of
hard work, Microsoft
acquired Sysinternals in July, 2006 (this was a very smart move by
Microsoft).
Mark is now dug in at
Microsoft, working on the many new exciting projects for XP and
Vista. Whether you’re an IT Pro or a developer, you’ll find a
Sysinternals utilities to help you manage, troubleshoot or diagnose
