Diskpar.exe - Disk Alignment Tool
|
DiskPar is a command-line tool that finds and modifies the starting sector on a disk to improve disk performance. It is only used with multi-disk systems.
Windows has an internal structure called the Master Boot Record (MBR) that limits the maximum default hidden sectors to 63. For this reason, the default starting sector for disks that report more than 63 sectors/track is the 64th sector. For disks with 64 or more sectors/track this can cause misalignment when data is transferred to and from the disks. For example, with a disk that has 64 sectors/track, what appear to be track aligned transfers begin at the last sector of one track and span to the next track

Intfiltr.exe - Interrupt Filter
|
IntFiltr is a command-line tool used on multiprocessor systems to affinitize interrupts of disk or network adapters to one or more processors. Affinitizing interrupts to a processor can improve system performance by improving processor cache locality.
Using IntFiltr, you can direct a device's interrupts to a specific set of processors.
In a computer with multiple processors, Microsoft® Windows® 2000 sets (by default) the interrupt controller to direct a device's interrupts at any available processor. This means an interrupt will be serviced by the processor with the lowest priority, or IRQL

Ipsecpol.exe - Internet Protocol Security Policies Tool
|
This command-line tool configures InterIPSecPol has two mutually exclusive modes: static and dynamic. The default mode is dynamic.
Dynamic mode plumbs policy into the Policy Agent, which is active only for the lifetime of the Policy Agent service. This means it will not be active after a reboot or stopping of the service. The benefit of dynamic mode is that the policy can co-exist with directory service-based policies, which override any local policy not plumbed by IPSecPol

Leakyapp.exe
|
This GUI tool appropriates system memory to test how other applications or the system as a whole runs in low-memory situations.
LeakyApp allocates all available memory to its own process and retains the memory until it is stopped or reset. When the tool stops, the memory it has allocated is released.

Linkd.exe
|
This command-line tool links an NTFS directory to a target object. LinkD grafts the target name directly into the name space at the specified source directory, so that the source directory subsequently acts as a name-space junction. A junction acts as a surrogate, standing in for the target object in the directory tree.
The source directory must reside on a drive formatted with NTFS 5.0. The destination or target of the link can be any valid Microsoft® Windows® 2000 directory name, device name, or object name. When the target name does not resolve to a directory or a device, open calls fail.

Pathman.exe
|
This command-line tool enables you to add or remove components of both the system and user paths. It can modify any number of paths in a single call and includes error checking that can handle path abnormalities such as repeated entries, adjacent semicolons, and missing entries.
Windows 2000 manages two different types of paths; the current user's path and the system path. Windows 2000 keeps a separate user path for every user on a system, but there is only one global system path. When a user logs on to a computer running Windows 2000, these two paths are combined to create the user's full path. For backward compatibility, Windows 2000 also loads path information from old Autoexec.bat files left in the root directory.
