Here are some of the free utilities* I have developed over the years. Many of them also include source code (C/C++).
TCPInfoX This is a modified version of my earlier TCPInfo work (see here). This utility displays all the TCP connections currently there on your machine. You can also disconnect already established connections.
TaskManagerX Ever wonder why you can't kill or terminate some of the programs that appear in the task manager on Windows NT based platforms? That is because some of these are system services and cannot be killed like that. Here I present a utility, which is an advance version of task manager (no change in GUI) and can terminate services as well. Please do remember though, that terminating services abruptly, can make your system unstable.
Service Man We have quite a few tools to start, stop and manage service, but I could hardly find any tool to install/uninstall services from my system. So I sat down and wrote my own. Service Man is a simple command line tool which can install and uninstall services. Uses windows SCM API's (see source code) and needs admin privileges to perform it's operations.
FindInShares When it comes to finding a file in all the shares on your LAN/Network, windows file find utility falls short of it. Here is a tool I developed which can find files/folders (wildcards accepted) in all the shares on your LAN/Network.
ListServers Not email lists server, but this utility displays all the different kinds of servers available on your particular network. These include all the SQL servers, Novell Servers, NT Servers, DC's, Backup servers etc. Source code is included.
CPLMaker This is a nice little tool which can create CPL files (control panel applets) for you with all the functionality. Most of the work is derived from my article about control panel some time back (see here). Just follow a simple wizard and you can create fully functional and working control panel applets. Copy those applets to your system folder and the applets will appear in the control panel. You can run your own custom exe's from within these applets to provide control panel based configuration for your applications. Source code is included.
Desktops This is a simple tool which provides you four additional desktops to work with (similar to Linux). You can easily switch between the desktops. Only Windows NT based platforms are supported.
LiveProcEditor This is a Live Process editor. This tool can let you open and view running processes. This is quite helpful when you want to view process address space when they are running. This tool does not allow you to edit the process address space although that is a possible future addition. Download: Exe | Source
DiskMap This is a little utility which shows a graphical map of your hard disk with occupied and free clusters. I used FSCTL_GET_VOLUME_BITMAP to get this bitmap. The code will be available soon. Download: Exe | Source
RawDisk (Beta) RawDisk is a Raw Storage Disk Editor (for NT based platforms). You can open volumes/drives in this application and edit them. There are many other cool features such as going to the start (first cluster) of a file, searching etc. This is a Beta release so expect bugs in it. I will keep improving the application.
