Computer System
and Network
Configuration

Windows
Memory
Diagnostic
The Resource Monitor
application offers a detailed
look at your computers
resource usage. You can
view computer-wide CPU,
disk, network, and memory
graphics, or drill down and
view per-process statistics
for each type of resource.
This means that you can
see which processes are
using your disk or network
heavily, view which
processes are
communicating with which
Internet addresses, and
more. The Resource Monitor
provides much more
detailed resource statistics
than the Task Manager
does.

Performance Monitor
The Performance Monitor
application allows you to
collect performance
reports and view them. It
can be used to log
performance data over
time, including
determining how system
changes affect
performance, or to
monitor the performance
of a remote computer in
real-time.

Computer Management
and Administrative Tools
Thisis actually one of
many Microsoft
Management Console
(MMC) tools. Many of
these can be found in
theAdministrative
Toolsfolder, but they
can be opened in a
single window by
opening theComputer
Managementapplicatio
n..

Advanced User
Accounts Tool
Windows contains a hidden
User Accounts utility that
provides some options not
present in the standard
interface. To open it, press
WinKey+R to open the Run
dialog, type
eithernetplwizorcontrol
userpasswords2, and
press Enter.
This window also contains
a shortcut to launch
theLocal Users and
Groupstool, which offers
more user management
tasks, but cant be used on
Home or standard versions
of Windows.

Group
Policy
Editor
The Group Policy Editor is
only available on
Professional or Ultimate
editions of Windows, not
the standard or Home
editions. It provides a wide
variety of settings that are
designed for use by system
administrators to customi
ze and lock down PCs on th
eir networks
, but the local group policy
editor also contains some
settings that average users
might be interested in. For
example, on Windows 8,
the group policy editor can
be used to
disable the lock screen and
skip directly to the log-in
screen
.

System
Information
The System Information
utility allows you to view
information about the
current computer
everything from the model
number of its CD-ROM drive
to its attached peripherals,
configured environment
variables, and startup
programs. It doesnt
provide the slickest
interface, nor does it
provide all the information
a third-party system
information tool like Speccy
does, but it will display a lot
of system information
without forcing you to
install another program.

Network
Configuration
Utility
The Network
Configuration
Utility (NCU)
configures a
system's Network
Interface Card
(NIC), TCP/IP
settings, and
domain
information for
use inRecovery
Environment.
