Sysinternal Suite

[David 617]

Anybody have any tips, tricks or cool things they know about the sysinternals suite?
Here's the link.

Here one that I do,
You can use Autoruns to clean up an old machine and get rid of leftover software in the startup. Say you had a HP printer years ago, but now you have a Cannon one. Just fire up Autoruns and un-check everything related to HP Printing.
Be careful, only check/unheck items in the logon tab and services tab.

i can do that with ccleaner!

Autoruns is much more powerful.
Simply run Autoruns and it shows you the currently configured auto-start applications as well as the full list of Registry and file system locations available for auto-start configuration. Autostart locations displayed by Autoruns include logon entries, Drivers, Explorer add-ons, Internet Explorer add-ons including Browser Helper Objects (BHOs), Appinit DLLs, image hijacks, boot execute images, Winlogon notification DLLs, Windows Services and Winsock Layered Service Providers. Switch tabs to view autostarts from different categories.

And this is just one of the 60+ utilities included in the suite!
