Getting started:
This PowerPack works very much like standard Computer management consoles. You can use the top level nodes to view items like services, processes, and event logs, and you can make many changes to those items such as stopping or starting services. The Registry node allows you to browse through your Registry. The Drives node allows you to browse through your drives, which include drives for the File System, the Registry, your Certificate store, and many others. The Local Users and Groups node allows you to manage all aspects of local users and groups. If you want additional information for something that isn't listed, use the WMI Browser to retrieve useful information from the system that is available via WMI.
