The free Sysinternals tools, http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/default.aspx, are great diagnostic and troubleshooting utilities. You had to download and unzip them them before.
No more. Here's their 5/28 announcement.
What's New (May 28th, 2008)
- Sysinternals Live
We’re excited to announce the beta of Sysinternals Live, a service that enables you to execute Sysinternals tools directly from the Web without hunting for and manually downloading them. Simply enter a tool’s Sysinternals Live path into Windows Explorer or a command prompt as \\live.sysinternals.com\tools\<toolname> or view the entire Sysinternals Live tools directory in a browser at http://live.sysinternals.com.
A basic doctrine of information security is to use a strong password. Your password should be at least 8 characters in length and contain a mix of letters, numbers and other special characters. See Password Best Practices from PSU ITS.
One way to determine if your password is strong is to type it into a password checker.
Microsoft’s online Password Checker reviews your password for sufficient length and complexity. As you enter your password the strength bar will move from Weak to Medium to Strong to Best.
