Extra Windows XP Support and Troubleshooting Utilities

There are some additional support and troubleshooting utilities available on the Windows XP installation CD in the \Support\Tools directory.

• Put your 'Windows XP installation CD' into your CD or DVD drive.
• From the Start menu, open 'My Computer'.
• Find the CD or DVD drive in the Windows Explorer.
• Open the \Support\Tools directory.
  
• Run the SETUP.EXE to install programs.

Here is a short list of the ones available:

• DIRUSE: Shows disk usage.
• DUPFINDER: Finds duplicate files.
• GETMAC: Displays the network card MAC address.
  
• HOSTNAME: Shows the computer host name.
  
• NETDIAG: Diagnoses a network components
• PVIEWER: Displays processes running on your computer.
• WINDIFF: Compares files and directories.

Note: some of these tools are very rudimentary, so don't expect a polished interface.
