Along with many useful tools built in the Windows operating system
, a collection of additional Support Tools is also included on the Windows CD but not installed with the operating system. You must install them separately using the Support Tools setup program. These tools are intended to assist Microsoft support personnel and network administrators in diagnosing and resolving computer problems.
Certain Support Tools, if used improperly, may cause your computer to stop functioning. It is recommended that only experienced users install and use Support Tools. For further assistance, the users can get in touch with a tech support expert.
Notes
You must be logged on as an administrator or a member of the Administrators group to install the Support Tools from the CD.
The Support Tools and Support Tools Help (Suptools.chm) are in English only. If you install them on a non-English operating system, you will see English Support Tools content mixed with non-English content in the Help and Support Center table of contents.
The Support Tools setup program installs all the Support Tools files and documentation onto your hard disk.
Setup creates a Windows Support Tools folder within the Programs folder on the Start menu. For information about individual tools, click Tools Help.
