Browser Status Diagnostics for Win2K "Secret Weapons"

Win2K"Secret Weapon&B; Browser Status Diagnostics (Browstat.exe)

BrowStat is a character-based tool for diagnosing browsers and is therefore not available for use under the GUI interface. Use this tool to find out if the browser is running and detect the browser status in the Windows workgroup in windows2000 and windowsNT domains. It can also provide information about the status of the browser in a workgroup, including the name of the browser.

You can also use this tool to discover that the transfer command (or "transport") used on a computer is a Browstat Dumpnet or Browstat DN and check the result. The "transfer" referred to here refers to the transfer specified by the driver in windows2000 or windowsNT.

In addition, the tool's original documentation lists a set of logos for this tool. Literally, it is mainly an abbreviation of terminology. In this tool, these abbreviations have a clear meaning and cannot be used. Redefining. For these signs, please refer to the table attached to this article. Its Chinese meaning is that I don’t take the liberty to add it for reference.

Like using other tool commands, the syntax of browstat.exe is also the command browstat (this is already called the convention). Followed by the options, and finally pointed out the destination to be reached, the so-called "destination" is generally a transmitter or domain, or both. If you are familiar with DOS, this set should be a light-hearted road, and you don't need to elaborate.
