http://live.sysinternals.com. Freakin' Cool.

The Sysinternals tools have always been some of the best no-cost tools that make easy the job of being a Windows administrator. But using them has always involved downloading them into the path of your computer so they can be run locally.

No more.

Check out http://live.sysinternals.com. From this site, you can run any of the tools' EXEs on-demand without the extra download need. Even better, from a command prompt you can directly access the tool by entering \\live.sysinternals.com\tools\{nameOfTool}. You'll see a pause as the tool downloads to the desktop, but it all arrives comletely seamlessly. This is great when you're working on a server's desktop where the tools haven't been previously installed.

Wicked!
