Sysinternals Tools Now Available as a Single Download
Fresh off the three-day weekend, they decided to simplify the download process even further by creating a single 8mb file containing their popular troubleshooting utilities.
No, the file doesn't contain the oh-so-fun BSOD screensaver (coming soon to your friend's trojan-infested Windows PC), but it does pack an incredible number of useful tools. Here's a sampling of what's in the file:
- AdExplorer: allows viewing, editing, and backup of Active Directory databases
- BGInfo: embeds info system like IP, CPU, ram, disk space on the desktop
- Contig: single-file defragmenter
- PageDefrag: defragments pagining, event log, hibernation, and registry files
- RegMon: monitors the Windows registry for changes
- RootkitRevealer: helps locate kernel and user-mode rootkits
- Sync: Unix-style tool to flush system data to disk

Don't forget about the easy way to get one or two files when needed:

Yeah. I saw that. I didn't approve the comment, because I was hoping it wouldn't show up. ;)

Is this really news? Now available? They've been packaging the "suite" in a single zip for at least a year and half now.

Yeah, that's my bad. The newsfeed was a bit misleading, it was actually an update. ()*&!$@! MS. :-)

Sysinternals was purchased by MS a few years ago. MS never created these programs. MS, in their current iteration, couldn't create original software even if you gave them instructions AND the code. They used to, but not any more.
