Notes for and by me.
Services in WindowsNT - FireDaemon (www.firedaemon.com) v1.0R3 is a utility that allows you to install and run virtually any application as a Windows NT/2K service. Also, the resource kit has SRVANY.EXE and INSTSRV.exe.

Disable Windows 2000/NT from putting "Shortcut to" at the beginning of shortcut names?
Set HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\link to have the value 0. This value's data type is binary, so make all of the digits zero, regardless of whether you choose to edit it in binary or hexadecimal format (i.e., 32 zeros or 00 00 00 00, respectively). Once you've done this, all future shortcuts will have the same name as their referent item (if allowable). This technique applies only to the current user and thus must be repeated for each desired user.
What utilities have you found to be the most helpful in administering small to midsize companies?
Aeleen Frisch, author of Essential Windows NT System Administration: 1. Resource Kit 2. Utils from SysInternals (Mark Russinovich's site), www.sysinternal.com 3. The NTSec package from Pedestal Software (www.pedestalsoftware.com), which gives command line tools for editing ACLs and related items and also lets you apply the ACLs from one system to the files on a different computer.
