Don't forget services.msc so you can shut down Windows Updater while 
trying to fix the system.  True you can do  'net stop waupserv' but I can 
never remember what the arcane service name is.

eventvwr.msc is such a pleasure to decode what the hell happened when the 
machine crashed.

Not a msc but dcomcnfg is good for laughs too. I discovered a fix for the 
days when DCOM turns to crap. There is a timeout that defaults to 60 
seconds. Change it to 59 seconds and save the configuration. Immediately 
change it back to 60, save and all better! I've no idea what corrupted 
files are rewritten but I didn't ask questions.
