Default Re: No Administrative Tools

Paul,

None of the 5 MMC consoles exist in Windows XP.

1) iSCSI Initiator - %SystemRoot%\system32\iscsicpl.exe
2) Memory Diagnostics Tool - %SystemRoot%\system32\MdSched.exe
3) Print Management - %systemroot%\system32\printmanagement.msc
4) Task Scheduler - %SystemRoot%\system32\taskschd.msc /s
5) Windows Firewall with Advanced Security - %SystemRoot%\system32\WF.msc

You can create a shortcut for:

#3 "control.exe printers" (Printers folder)
#4 "control.exe schedtasks" (Task Scheduler)
#5 "control.exe firewall.cpl" (Windows Firewall)

Hi, Ramesh
Many of these Vista shortcuts work equally well on WXP. The following ones
do not: work on my WxpProSP2 stytem. I assume some or all of them are
available through a different shortcut or perhaps require a download from
Microsoft. Can you help?
I successfully changed the system configuration shortcut to point to
C:\WINDOWS\PCHealth\HelpCtr\Binaries\msconfig.exe

1) iSCSI Initiator - %SystemRoot%\system32\iscsicpl.exe
2) Memory Diagnostics Tool - %SystemRoot%\system32\MdSched.exe
3) Print Management - %systemroot%\system32\printmanagement.msc
4) Task Scheduler - %SystemRoot%\system32\taskschd.msc /s
5) Windows Firewall with Advanced Security - %SystemRoot%\system32\WF.msc
