I was thinking that there is really not much you need to know and do to maintain, configure and fix windows. Bellow are some of the programs/commands/ideas that are used the most. Are there some more I should know about?
Code:
Windows OS apps
msconfig turn on/off serivces and start up apps. see what is starting up
regedit check info on programs, change app settings. more?
device manager see hardware, install/uninstall. drivers list
event viewer see warnning errors. helps to find the source of the issue
safe mode get into windows when normal mode doesnt work.
task manager see CPU, mem usage. see process info and kill em.
right click my computer see version, SP #, memory, cpu,
Command line programs
cmd where to run commands in shell
ipconfig netwroking info
ping see if you are connected. see if other computers are up
tracert view routing path. where slow points are
dir * /s /p search hardrive. can be better than windows search
start . open explorer in current directory
Helper programs
ccCleaner remove tmp files, clean registry.
spacemonger visually see usage for storage device
rootkit revealer check for rootkits
hijackthis see every thing that loads and runs.
AVG Free very good free A/V
spybot search and destroy does a good job on malware
malware bytes an other good one.
