MMCSnapInsView

Snap-ins are the basic components of a console and installing them on a computer typically makes the snap-ins available to all users who create a console on the same PC.

MMCSnapInsView is a handy application that helps you explore and analyze the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-ins from your system, no matter if they are standalone or extensions.

The application is not only tiny, but also portable, meaning that it does not create any additional entries in the Windows Registry, nor does it require any extra files to run smoothly. You can store it on a removable Flash drive and run it whenever you need it.

Despite its reduced size, the app automatically detects and displays all MMC snap-ins, along with a flurry of details for each of them. It is even possible to select several records and open them in MMC with a few mouse clicks.

As soon as the data has been loaded, MMCSnapInsView shows many details about the snap-ins, such as the full path and filename, CLSID, file description and version. You can also view the company name and the created and modified dates, as well as the description for those that feature it.

Double-clicking any of the entries brings up a separate window that presents the same data in a more compact way.

Regardless of how many records you are interested in, you can easily export them to several types of formats, such as TXT, CSV, XML or HTML. When it comes to the latest format, you can specify if you want the report to feature vertical or horizontal alignment.

MMCSnapInsView is a nifty utility for all those who are interested in analyzing or simply exploring info about the Microsoft Management Console snap-ins from their computer.
