This VB9 utility program is a major upgrade to my previous System Information submission. This version offers, in addition to information, the ability to control the information displayed. You can start/stop drivers and service, uninstall programs, control processes, set OEM computer information including logo/picture, share/unshare folders, delete startup programs, and modify user/company information.
The complete list of categories is Bios, Components, Computer, Cpu, DateAndTime, Desktop, Drivers, Drives, EnvironmentVariables, EventViewer, FileTypes, Fonts, InstalledPrograms, Introduction, Keyboard, MultimediaCodecs, Network, OEMInformation, OperatingSystem, PointingDevice, Ports, Processes, Services, Shares, Sound, SpecialFolders, StartupPrograms, UsbDevices, UserInformation, Video, VisualStyles, Win32Explorer Hardware, Win32Explorer Memory, Win32Explorer Network, Win32Explorer Storage, Win32Explorer System, and Win32Explorer Users.
By examining the source code, this application will familarize the reader with .NET WMI class methods, Panels used as UserControls, TreeView, ListView, and ListViewGroups.
This update fixes a problem when the application starts as a notification icon.
Note: Due to the size or complexity of this submission, the author has submitted it as a .zip file to shorten your download time. Afterdownloading it, you will need a program like Winzip to decompress it.Virus note:All files are scanned once-a-day by Planet Source Code for viruses, but new viruses come
out every day, so no prevention program can catch 100% of them. For your own safety, please:
Re-scan downloaded files using your personal virus checker before using it.
NEVER, EVER run compiled files (.exe's, .ocx's, .dll's etc.)--only run source code.
If you don't have a virus scanner, you can get one at many places on the net
including:McAfee.com

Nice work.. Couple suggestions I would love to see. First, a tool that would allow you to scan a hard drive and list all files by size. Would allow you to figure out where all your hard drive space is being used up and what files are the space hogs.
Second, would love to see your tool show all SMART harddrive information INCLUDING external USB and firewire drives.

Five huge stars for you. I've always enjoyed your programs and coding style. Thank you for your post! (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
@ToddB-USN Maybe I can add a scan to my Disk Pie. I'll see what I can find about SMART. @DTeCH Written on Vista x64, tested on Vista x32, XP x64 and x32 @SamerTheHammer Thanks to you and everyone who posted comments. You've made my day!
