Just downloaded the mstools zip file, as mentioned here just a few minutes
ago. Four files came in, labeled file 2 thru 5.

Any idea what happened to file 1?

You mean in:
Message-ID: <[email protected]>
which provided the following urls:
<http://labs.pcw.co.uk/2005/03/110_free_micros.html>
Four files came in, labeled file 2 thru 5.

Same here, table 2 thru 5, table 1 missing.
Any idea what happened to file 1?

No. Table 2 thru 5 = 101 rows = 101 utilities, thus 9 utilities
missing (table 1).

All the best,
Bjorn Simonsen

9 utilities is only nine lines. Perhaps if someone has the missing
list they can add those 9 lines here ?

Regards, John.
 
And worse, since the list is so short, why the heck not put them in a
single list?

Wasteful and silly.

Agreed...what a waste. Oh well, I have Open Office :) At least I could
view it.

9 utilities is only nine lines. Perhaps if someone has the missing
list they can add those 9 lines here ?

It's actually 10, there's 25 items in each of the other 4 sheets. The
missing 10 are (as per the magazine):

TABLE 1 - Top 10 SP2 support tools

Program Name
Function
FILE NAME

API Monitor
Useful when tracking down the causes of program crashes; shows users
precisely which DLLs and APIs are used by an exe file
apimon.exe

Dependency Walker
Displays File dependencies of various file types including exe, dll and
ocx in a clear tree diagram
depends.exe

Win Installer Cleanup Utility
Removes left over files and Registry entries from failed software
installations
msicuu.exe

Win Diff
Compares selected files or the contents of whole directories and
displays the results in a list
windiff.exe

Directory Disk Usage
Sheds light on the exact size of selected directories and
sub-directories
diruse.exe

Dup Finder
Simple tool to search through entire directories looking for duplicate
files
dupfinder.exe

File Version
Shows exact version info for any executable or dll file
filever.exe

Disk Probe Editor
Manipulates data directly on the hard disk, for example to restore a
damaged MBR or corrupt partition table
dskprobe.exe

Network Connectivity Tester
Checks the capabilities of a PC's network adapter.
netdiag.exe

Active Directory Replication Monitor
Important for system administrators, displays the AD Replication
status.
replmon.exe


They are apparently all on the Win XP SP2 installation CD. Appears you
have to run suptools.msi from the Support/Tools folder. The ones listed
are PCW's top 10 out of a total of 81 available.
