Some of us like the XP command console for admin...

Even XP has some neat under-the-hood tricks that admins can use to remote admin boxes from a Telnet session or even locally to fix things....
The following command can be used by anyone with admin access to a machine:
Rundll32 Printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /?
Expect a long output, it will give 60 lines of just help about what the dll supports, and examples of how to call the .dll from a batch file, among other things.
To do locally, or if you have full desktop access with a turned on remote assistance GUI access, you do this:
Start|Run|CMD|enter key, then at prompt in the Command Console:
Rundll32 Printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /?
This XP tiplet summary is courtesy of TechRepublic, published in yesterday's Windows XP tips newsletter.... I did not bulk quote it, just summarized it for you all here. I am sure it works as stated in XP Pro, not sure about XP Home.
