Been using Sysinternals utilities since Windows 98! Here's a tip. As you noted some utilities require Admin level security. Others, notably Autoruns, may not require or ask for Admin level security when run, but to perform an operation - like Jump To (Registry) Entry in Autoruns - require Admin level to operate. Rather than having to Right Click on the app and select Run As Administrator, right click on the file (app) and select Properties, select the Compatibility tab and at the bottom click the [Change Settings for All Users] button. In the window that pops up, check the "Run this program as an Administrator" box and click OK/OK. Now you'll still get asked if you want to give the app permission to run (always), but you won't have to right click and select the Run As Admin any more!

[@TheRaju991]

Thanks for the tip!

[@fidgetshouse]

Thank you so much. Our IT department and I have been trying to locate the source of a problem with my computer. I have never seen them use these tools to find it, so thanks so much for sharing. I am going too try these tools out. The screen annotation tool is awesome, and something I can really use while teaching. I always learn a bunch from you!

[@gennarocimmino]

thanks for sharing all those key combinations for using zoomit. Kudos for the clarity of presentation.

[@deltawing9]

Wow, this is powerful. Thank you Leila!

[@cwcole]

Thanks for the information! PSExec and Process Explorer are two that I use often. PowerToys is also one of my go-to utilities and it's still available today. I still have my 1996 Sony PCV-70 166 MHz Pentium. It came with Windows 95a. I asked the Circuit City salesperson about the single USB port, and she said that it was new technology that is not yet enabled. Upgrading to Windows 95b enabled it and I added a ZIP drive. I think Windows 2000 was the last OS running on it. I skipped Windows ME (that was a terrible OS)

[@silversolver7809]

SysInternals author Mark Russinovich is one of the true major contributors to the software world, along with other greats like Peter Norton, Phil Katz RIP, Nick Bradbury etc. I used SI for 15-20 years from well before Microsoft acquired it and Mark-the utilities are top class and rock solid. I don't use them anymore, as Windows today is far ahead of where it was in the 90s and 00s. But ZoomIt does look interesting :)

[@connclissmann6514]

Agreed! May I add Dan Briklin to your list? From VisiCalc to Spinrite and beyond...

[@silversolver7809]

@@connclissmann6514 Of course :) There are dozens more at least-I only mentioned a few whose work benefited me considerably. Btw I'm fairly sure Steve Gibson was the SpinRite guy :)

[@cowpen]

@@silversolver7809 Greetings fellow old guys!

[@darylcheshire1618]

way back then, I rescued several XT type machines by running Spinrite, the machines were running slowly and the users were going to get rid of them but I run Spinrite on them overnight and tell them to reboot, and all those bad sectors were returned to the system by a low level format of each block. In those days the heads didn’t park and turning off the PC might write random crap at that location. After years the hard disk would have lots of bad sectors.

[@Innesb]

@@connclissmann6514 Dan Briklin and VisiCalc co-author Bob Frankston rarely get a mention these days, but they created what was probably the first desktop ‘killer application’; the reason many people bought PCs in those days. I was lucky enough to be able to teach myself VisiCalc on a TRS-80 when I was a young teenager in the UK (early 80s), and it set me up for a successful life in the ‘computer business’. I encourage visiting Dan’s website (it’s easy to find); there’s a great history of VisiCalc there.

[@joseotoya2102]

Excellent! Many thanks Leila! 🙏

Hello Leila, Thank You for the refresher video. I have been using some of the tools since the early releases. What tool do you use to get the Mouse to right-click the icon on the video to demonstrate the tutorial?

[@radicalrick9587]

Thanks for nice information!!! On Windows 11 Store it's available as an app. Is it having all the similar functions?

[@connclissmann6514]

BGInfo used on all PCs around here. Can save a lot of time and indicates last reboot time. Ready to trim the options and make the font smaller, to keep it in the top right corner.

[@sergiomoura5371]

ZoomIT is definitely my favorite tool. Thank you for the great video, Leila!

[@theodrummond6518]

Leila, I may not be able to watch every one of your videos but when I do, you are a blessing.

[@jaqoncee6670]

Wow, this will assist so much.

[@chrism9037]

Wow, thanks Leila! I had never heard of this. I've used Power Toys, but never knew of this.

[@vijayarjunwadkar]

Thanks Leila for yet again a super useful video! You are helping us in so many ways, really appreciate! My favorite tool is Zoomit, it has been very helpful during meetings and trainings for sure! 👍

[@LeilaGharani]

Thanks for sharing, Vijay!!

[@cecilialim5181]

I can get most of ZoomIt functions except drawing. Can you help why my drawing does not work despite pressing hold shift, hold control, hold tab ….?

[@cseonlineclassesmalayalam]

Very valuable video 👍 thank you

[@thewillsfamilyaccount6486]

Nicely done!

[@Number6_]

That was very informative. I will have to get that. It is the sort of thing that only soft ware engineers have.

[@elpollolocoman119]

Restart is my favorite. lol Thank you, keep it sincere and I'll continue to watch.

[@MA-vl3vk]

Wow! This is great stuff, Leila, and thanks. I especially like your methods and style of teaching that is very understandable and simple to learn. A subscription to your channel is one of the most valuable I have.

[@MarkJFellows]

Hi Leila, I like sysinternals too, and I am a longterm user. My favourite utility is ShareX which does screen capture - image, GIFs and OCR. I have a multibutton mouse and one mode is permanently set to ShareX so when watching something, I can quickly capture it.

[@kaushikbarot9653]

Very good and useful information

[@user-sk8vp2lw2x]

Thank you so much leila ... this is so amazing and highly recommend, thank you! once again .

[@int.21]

Very informative Thanks! 👍👍👍

[@JEmmertz]

The stuff that has come from Mark Russinovich and his Sysinternal's team is outstanding and remarkable: There were times when they knew more about the internal workings of Microsofts file system and stuff than the people at Microsoft themselves. I was not the slightest bit surprised when Microsoft acquired them. It has always seemed like they have been able to, and allowed to, do what they are best at.

[@davecook81]

Thank you!!

[@Gaminiheraliyawala]

Wow... This is an excellent tutorial of sooo cool tools...👍👍👌👌Good for a system/ network admins or those who want to be.

[@barnesandrewj]

Appreciate you!!

[@nipunkavinda8254]

Very useful utilities...

[@t.robinson4774]

YEARS ago I think I was part of a group using the beta version of Autoruns. It was handy for a quicker boot time and identifying unintentional/ poorly prioritised boot programs. It worked well but after the trial access was limited, then dropped off completely. Now that I’m older Zoomit looks just as useful. Thanks!

[@mabrouk642]

Nice post, Thank you Leila!

[@kraj1966]

My favorite tool is Autoruns. That is helping too much in speeding up my Windows. Thank you for the tutorial

[@LeilaGharani]

[@ahmad1980595]

Please more tools like these

[@ronalcasid3844]

My favorite is psexec. I often fall back to it when Microsoft's newer remote admin tools fail. I use it to execute commands on remote computers.

I like them all. Thank you

[@kallamamran]

Good tips!

[@Daithai96]

Great video. I've used Sysinternals since long before MS acquired them. Autoruns and ProcMon have always been fantastic tools. Mark Russinovich is definitely a genius. I've not looked at them in while, but I'll download the full suite and look through it again. I love the manual side to these tools, rather than relying on blackbox utilities to address issues.

[@dj_maridao]

Thanks, my dear! Hugs from Brazil!

[@AnalogX64]

You will soon be able to talk about "PC Manager" by Microsoft, which is in beta right now, its a free utility with similar features as CCLeaner (I stopped using it) for Windows 10 and 11. PS: 00:35 That is the Commodore Amiga 1000, my 2nd computer after the Commodore 64. Good times :)

[@Prometeo59]

Wow, that's great news. Microsoft should have done it years back. Or maybe make an OS that doesn't need CCleaner equivalent! Call me crazy.

[@NigelBryant]

This is so cool. keep up the great work!

[@LeilaGharani]

Thank you! Will do!

[@B12ALPINA]

Thank you very much Leila

[@Tommie_Rogers]

I use ZoomIt all the time when I present training sessions. I did not know about SysInternals but installed Zoomit separately. It is an extremely useful tool when students request me to enlarge a portion of the screen, like the formula bar in Excel, so that they can see the function/formula in more detail.

[@LeilaGharani]

Thanks for sharing!

[@alanmonaghan9194]

If you are watching someone's presentation in Teams, I think holding Ctrl and using the scroll wheel allows you to zoom in and out. You can also then drag to other parts of the presentation area.

[@mcdonamw]

I love these tools and there are so many that I have never even touched upon in the last 23 years of using this suite! Mark Russinovich and team were true Windows pioneers and helped me learn a lot of the innards of Windows.

for me, turning on the desktop, using the browser, printer and some other software without crashing is a feat. I always thought that Windows loaded too much unnecessary stuff. I was wrong... there are many more unnecessary things! Thanks for the video!

Leila, you are a star, so much information and so useful. I think that tutorials are going to be needed on some of the other attributes of Sysinternals. Totally impressed, thank you.

[@collinstanton]

Extraordinary, you are very gracious for sharing such advanced tools. Thank you so much, even though, it's definitely required learning for me... 😂🥰🌹

[@thomasblackwell9507]

SDelete is one of my favorite utilities!

[@StageMan57]

That's right! It's been around since 1996. I've been using it since 1996. I came online in 1995 as a Microsoft Professional at the age of 38.

Hi Ma'am, please tell me, I working as an administrator in a building site dealing in accounts and corresspondences mostly using MS-Word and MS -Excel and plan to introduce my system to a trading platform (MT4) what would you suggest me to put off /on after down loading 'sysinternals'.... Thanks.
