 Re: No Administrative Tools Hi James, Are the shortcuts for various admin tools present in the following folder? "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Administrative Tools" If the shortcuts are missing, you can download them from here: http://www.winhelponline.com/fixes/v...admintools.zip -- Regards, Ramesh Srinivasan, Microsoft MVP [Windows Shell/User] Windows® Troubleshooting http://www.winhelponline.com "JamesJ" <jjy@Darwin_adelphia.net> wrote in message news:u85wLdsbHHA.4716@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... When I double click Administrative Tools either from the control panel or the start menu it brings up explorer and the folder is empty. How can I get to these settings and tools?? Thanks, James | Guest

| Re: No Administrative Tools The links are now back in the folder, thanks much. Although I don't know how or why they became missing.

| Re: No Administrative Tools Actually I did. I have TweakVI installed. 3 cleaners I've tried over the past week or so - One Click Cleanup, CClean, and Ace Utilities. I can't imagine a 3rd party cleaner thinking the shortcuts in the Administrative Tools folder are broken shortcuts, junk or unneeded files. I'll start paying a little more attention to what these programs are removing. James "Ramesh, MS-MVP" <ramesh@XOX.mvps.org> wrote in message news:%235vh7%23tbHHA.1296@TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl...

Hi James, If the shortcuts are missing, you can download them from here: http://www.winhelponline.com/fixes/v...admintools.zip -- Regards, Ramesh Srinivasan, Microsoft MVP [Windows Shell/User] Windows® Troubleshooting http://www.winhelponline.com 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 | Guest
