Pagedefrag debug programs

I'm sure that if you've used Regmon, Filemon or DebugView for any length of time you've probably come across similar examples. When you see one, don't just set a filter and forget about it, e-mail the vendor complaining about their sloppy programming. This new version shows you the command-line that was used to launch a process, including any parameters that were passed on the command-line.

This can help you distinguish between multiple processes and troubleshoot problems related to specific command-line options. HandleEx is an application that presents information about which handles and DLLs processes have open or loaded. Its display consists of two sub-windows. The top always shows a list of the currently active processes, including the names of their owning accounts, whereas the information revealed in the bottom window depends on the mode that HandleEx is in: if HandleEx is in handle mode you'll see the handles that the process selected in the top window has opened; if it is in DLL mode you'll see the DLLs and memory-mapped files that the process has loaded.

The latest release of HandleEx includes several new features. First, like ListDLLs, it now shows the command-line that was used to launch a process when you view the process' properties. This was painfully evident in NT 4 Terminal Server and Windows Terminal Services environments, where HandleEx indicated that processes started from other user sessions had unknown owners. HandleEx v2. The final new feature of HandleEx v2.

I added this feature after receiving many requests for it. I recommend that you use it with extreme caution, however, because applications generally aren't written to expect that handles might suddenly become invalid, and applications with handles forced closed may behave erratically or crash as a result.

The Windows Resource Kit include a tool named ELogDmp that lets you dump records from an event log on the local or a remote computer. ELogList more powerful than ElogDmp because it also lets you specify an optional account name and password so that you can access a computer's event logs from a different account than the one from which you are running the tool. Even when you display event logs from remote systems, ElogList uses the correct message files on the remote system for its formatting string data.

LoggedOn is a command-line applet tells you who is logged onto a particular computer, either locally or via resource shares. The version 1. This feature is useful in situations where you want to perform updates to a user account and need to verify that the user is not currently logged on. Most of you are by now no doubt familiar with the famous Sysinternals Blue Screen screen saver, which accurately depicts a Windows NT or Windows crash and reboot.

Since its initial release I've continuously received requests from Windows 9x users that want to run the screen saver on their computers, so I've finally ported it to Windows 9x. On Windows 9x it simulates a Windows crash and reboot. The only requirement for using the Sysintenals Blue Screen screen saver on Windows 9x is that you obtain a copy of a Windows Ntoskrnl.

Now you can really confuse unsuspecting Windows 9x users that come back to their computer only to discover that it's stuck in a Windows crash and reboot cycle! PageDefrag is a defrag utility that runs at boot time to defragment your system's paging files and Registry hives. PageDefrag was the first utility able to defragment Registry hives, but since its release that functionality has been added to several commercial defraggers. However, PageDefrag is still free, and version 2.

If you're interested in the defrag interface provided by Windows NT 4 and Windows , you can learn about it and download source code to an interactive file defragmenter at www.

Sysinternals documented the defrag interface years before Microsoft included it in the Platform SDK, and several commercial defragmenters made use of our documentation and sample code.
