Task Manager, Device Manager, Display Properties, Add/Remove Programs are a few system utilities which we use frequently while working in Windows. But we have to follow a few steps to open these utilities.
Wouldn't it be great if we can have a single window providing access to all such useful system utilities in a single place? Thanks to "ShraOne" @ DA for creating "Windows Utilities Launcher" which is a portable application, i.e. you even don't need to install it. Just run its EXE file and access all frequently used system utilities in a single step.
As you can see in above screenshot, it provides access to following system utilities:
- Computer Management
- Device Manager
- Disk Manager
- Performance Monitor
- Display Properties
- Services
- Task Manager
- System Configuration
- Add/Remove Programs
You can also access Notepad and Calculator from its system tray icon.
Its really a useful application specially for system administrators. You can download it using following link:

What system administrator will have to use such tool - there is control panel, and advanced administration tools section inside. Not to mention those are usually enough skilled to maintain those tasks quickly enough to not bother with some "launcher".
By the way, either its me, but did anyone notice how often some keywords repeat. (believe I know how it all works)

Seems to be a very good utility!
I'll put it at startup to be automatically launched with windows. Thanks VG!

I read somewhere that using Microsoft Management Console (MMC) one can create custom stuff with snap-ins and such... maybe something like this app... Correct if I'm wrong, please.

Another way is to add all of those options to the right click menu of My Computer by using this registry tweak (Windows XP ONLY!!) Change the file extension name from txt to reg, and then click on it and instantly you will have all of those useful utilities available from the right click menu of My Computer. Here is the script:
