Application Startup Manager (VB6)
	The Application Startup Manager (ASM) is a Win 9x straight-forward GUI utility that easily lets you see and control all the areas in Windows where applications are set to automatically start up. Unlike Windows 98/ME's intrinsic system utility that performs similar actions, the ASM also provides the ability to optionally backup the removed items for a very easy restore later if you want the appliation back.

Application Update Utility (VB6)
	The Application Update Utility (AUU) was designed for a client as an interim solution to the problem of updating Windows XP clients in an environment not yet ready to support a desktop management solution such as Active Directory or SMS. The AUU is designed to allow the execution of directive scripts, run on the local computer but stored in a central network share. The AUU runs completely autonomous of the network and does not rely on any group membership or user-specific settings to function. The AUU is designed to launch, check for the presence of the network specified location, sync any script files found with the local computer, then execute the script files on the local computer. Script files defined as any executable script or program.	Author:  Dx21, LLC Posted: 2/7/2004

Target systems must have WMI installed (Native on Windows 2000 / XP / 2003, add-on for Windows 9x and NT4). Source code provides a group project for usage demo.	Author:  Dx21, LLC Posted: 10/23/2003

WMI Software Inventory (VB6)
	Essentially free asset inventory is one of the benefits of knowing the WMI. Just check out any of the software products or companies which provide hardware and software inventory for administrators. The cost can quickly mount. This open source project utilizes the WMI and ADO to inventory all install software and Hot-Fixes installed on any computer specified. The project currently utilizes virtual recordsets to hold the recorded data, but can be easily adapted to use existing JET or SQL databases. One of the interesting things about the process of software inventory via WMI is that the class, Win32_Product, only inventories software installed with the Windows Installer. This is all well and good, but not all software is and if you want a complete inventory you will need those applications which don’t conform to Microsoft’s vision. There are ways to work around this problem, the most publicized way being the inclusion of the AddRemovePrograms class (adapted from SMS) into the repository. This works well but inclusion of this class on hundreds of workstations automatically isn’t necessarily easy. This project utilizes the registry functions of the WMI to enumerate the Uninstall key and collect the information which is not otherwise collected by the Win32_Product or Win32_QuickFixEngineering classes (for HotFixes).
