Windows XP SP2 Support Tools

Windows systems come with numerous command-line tools. There are also others that can be downloaded and installed. One group is called support tools and a number of these are listed here. The tools are primarily for system administration but some can also be applied to diagnosing and resolving computer problems in PCs in the home.
The list below omits some of the more specialized tools, such as those for Active Directory. A complete list is here along with the free download. These tools are in addition to the large number of command-line utilities that are part of the default installation of Windows XP Professional. These additional tools require their own installation .
