The Microsoft
Common Console An MSC is a
Microsoft Common Console Document. What does that mean to you? Everything, if
you were born to tweak. And much like an EXE file, you can launch an MSC simply
by entering it on the Run command field in the Start Menu. COMPMGMT.MSC pulls up
the Computer Management console (which contains all of the other console
documents). DISKMGMT.MSC gives you quick access to disk properties (which you
may configure). DEVMGMT.MSC is the Device Manager (which looks a lot like the
one in 9x). DFRG.MSC launches the built-in disk defragmenter. EVENTVWR.MSC is
your system Event Viewer (error records and such). FSMGMT.MSC will help you
manage your Shared Folders. LUSRMGR.MSC manages Local Users and Groups (those
LUSRs). PERFMON.MSC is your Performance Monitor. SECPOL.MSC shows Local Security
Settings. SERVICES.MSC lists all the registered Services (be careful with this
one)
