Bored and let unused icon cleaner clean desktop.

 

Had a command or program that placed a shortcut on desktop that would

show your IP address and all other details for networking.

 

I've forgotten it, can't find it in my XP tips file, so hoping someone

would be kind enough to help me out.

 

I can do ipconfig for XP but this was something like winipcfg for W98

that would give a neat little window.

 

Thanks in advance.

    If this doesn't do it for you, search Google.

    That shortcut should have been moved to the "Unused Shortcuts" folder on

    your desktop (or whatever the name of the folder). You can drag it back

    to the Desktop from within the folder.

    Thank you! Not what I had, but works just fine.

    Found it! From the Windows 2000 resource kit

    wntipconfig.exe

    WNTIPCFG.EXE does the job - an unsupported tool that is part of Microsoft

    Windows 2000 Resource Kit tools. Available as a separate download, the

    installer file name is WntIpcfg_setup.exe

     

    If you had it installed previously the .exe should be in folder c:\Program

    Files\Resource Kit and you can create your desktop shortcut from that.
