[enTRAPAG]

Yeah nice post. Many of these you will learn purposely while supporting Windows XP since RunAs was popularized instead of logging a user out completely, but theres some stuff in here I didnt know. Very cool. Thanks.

 

[slithernet]

[Quill]

Nice one, thank you

 

[slithernet]

I think u should add

slui 4

it is the activation screen with phone # to call if activation doesn't work and

net user

 

[och]

what about control userspasswords2

 

[Brink]

Hello Och,

control userpasswords2 doesn't seem to come up from the Start Menu search for me in Windows 7, but it does work from Run. You can also use netplwiz.

 

[och]

Uh, I've used it, seemed to work just fine?

 

[Brink]

Sorry och,

Post corrected. I've added control userpasswords2 to the list.

Sometimes, we are left with a blank our desktop as the icons will not appear. However, we will be able to access the Task Manager using CTRL + SHIFT + ESCAPE OR CTRL + ALT + DEL

* We can select 'New Task > Run' which will give us the command prompt. From the DOS command prompt, we can access the System Restore using the following commands:

• RSTRUI : opens Tool System Restore (Windows 7/Vista only)
• %WINDIR%\SYSTEM32\RESTORE\rstrui.exe: opens Tool System Restore (for XP only).

* Further, I will also post all useful DOS commands so that it would be useful to everyone at a point of time.

Hi , there
What's command for Dr Watson in Win7 x64?
DRWTSN32 doesn't work!
tnks

 

[Brink]

Hello Contractor, and welcome to Seven Forums.

Sorry but Dr Watson is not a feature in Vista or Windows 7 anymore from XP. Instead Windows 7 uses the Troubleshooting feature in the Control Panel.

Here's a shortcut for it as well.

Hope this helps,
