Windows Command Reference
Programs Provided with Windows
This appendix lists all the programs installed by Windows Setup on the 32-bit versions of Windows 2000 Professional, Windows XP (Home Edition, Professional, and Media Center Edition), and Windows Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business, Enterprise, and Ultimate), with all optional components installed. It also lists some programs installed by Windows Update and Automatic Updates. The purpose of this appendix is to help you identify programs that you find running in your Task Manager window, and to let you browse for interesting standard programs that you might not be aware of. The programs fall into several categories: Graphical User Interface (GUI) programs, such as Notepad and Internet Explorer. GUI programs are delivered as executable files with an .EXE filename extension. Command-line (console) utilities such as ping and dir. Most command-line programs are delivered as executable (.EXE and .COM) files, with the exception of a few script files (.VBS and .JS), and some built-in commands that are handled directly by the command prompt processor cmd.exe or command.com. Control Panel applets, screensavers, and Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snapins. The files have corresponding filename extensions: .SCR for screensavers, .MSC for MMC snap-ins, and .CPL for Control Panel applets. Components such as device drivers, Windows services, and programs used solely as helper components of other programs. These programs may have a filename extension that makes them look like standard programs, but they are not useful on their own. This appendix does not list the optional programs installed from the \TOOLS folder on the Windows Setup CD-ROM or DVD, although it does lists a few subcomponents of these tools that end up under your \windows folder. The tools themselves are listed in Appendix A, Windows Tool Reference.

Running Applications and Components

Applications can be started in the following ways: GUI and command-line programs can be run from shortcuts, from Windows Explorer, or, if they are in a folder listed in the PATH environment variable, by typing their name in the Start Menus Run dialog, or at the prompt in a Command Prompt window. On Windows Vista, you can also type a command name into the Start Menus search box, and in most cases, Windows will locate and run the program. Script files can be run by name, or can be forced to run in GUI or command-line mode with the wscript or cscript commands, respectively. For more information on scripting, see Chapter 9, Windows Commands and Scripting. MMC snap-ins can be run using the start command, for example
start compmgmt.msc
or by installing them into an MMC panel. On Windows XP and 2000, you can run an MMC snap-in with Administrator privileges by typing the command
runas /user:Administrator cmd /c xxxx.msc
On Windows Vista, you dont need to use runas, as the User Account Control prompt will appear if the snap-in requires administrative privileges. You just can type the snap-ins filename into the Start menus search box. Control Panel applets can be run from the Control Panel or from the command line, as in this example:
control timedate.cpl
On Windows 2000 and XP, you can run a Control Panel applet with Administrator privileges by typing the command
runas /user:Administrator control xxxx.cpl
Again, on Vista, runas is not needed. This technique does not work with ncpa.cpl, however, unless you have previously configured Windows Explorer to launch folder windows in separate processes, by checking this option in the Tools, Folder Options, View tab. If you are using runas, the option has to have been set while logged on to the account that you specify in the runas command.
x.scr /s
Device drivers and services cannot be run directly, but are managed by tools such as the Services MMC snap-in (services.msc) or the net start command-line utility. Some Windows services are packaged as .DLL files and are executed by the svchost.exe program. Services are discussed in Chapter 4.
Command-Line Syntax
To use a command-line utility, you have to know its particular command-line syntax; that is, you have to know how to add options, filenames, and other control information to the command line. To get help for a given commandlets call it xxxthere are four things to try, in this order: Search for xxx in the Windows Help and Support Center. Type xxx -? | more in a command prompt window.

Type help xxx | more in a command prompt window. Perform a Google search for Windows command xxx.
Appendix B

Note
The more command is used to keep text from scrolling out of view if theres more than one screen. If some text is displayed and then the printout stops, press the spacebar to display the next screen.
Theres no way to tell beforehand which one or more of these methods will work, so you should try all four. For more information on using command-line programs, see Chapter 9.
NOTE
On Windows Vista, most of the information for command line programs has been deleted from the Help and Support Center. Your best bet on Vista is to use the -? and help options, or use Internet sources, as discussed in Chapter 9. Alternately, look up help information on a computer running XP.
Legend
In the tables that follow, the Filename column lists the names of program files installed in the various standard Windows folders. The filenames extension indicates the type of program file.

Yes Yes No Yes No Yes No Yes
In the Description column, Source indicates the source of a program if it is not installed by Windows Setup. Some programs can have several alternative sources. For example, the .NET Framework may be installed by a Service Pack, Windows Update, a download from microsoft.com, or as part of a third-party application.
