FePsTools

PsTools is a collection of utilities that provide advanced users with several tools to manage Windows system more efficiently. While it may look like nothing more than a GUI for the suite at first sight, FePsTools enables you to create custom commands and execute the desired operation faster.

First off, you should know that you need to have PsTools on your system, as otherwise, you are not going to be able to access any of the functions available. While it is true that the program adds an interface to the suite, you are required to specify the location of the desired utility to execute it.

Even though it is not stylish or modern, the GUI enables easier navigation between the functions and allows you to easily browse through the available switches and options that can be applied with each tool. The tool builds the appropriate command while you are selecting the desired parameters for the operation.

In case you are using a certain utility on a regular basis and you would like to save some time and energy, then you can create a shortcut for the command along with the selected parameters and options on any location on your computer.

As you would expect, the application supports all the utilities that are available with the PsTools suite, meaning PsLoggedOn, PsInfo, PsFile, PsExec, PsShutdown, PsPasswd or PsKill. To make everything more convenient, you can specify the directory of the PsTools from the Settings window.

Since the idea around the utility is revolving around automation, you will be happy to learn that you can execute and cancel any tasks by hitting F8 and respectively, F9. On a side note, it would have been nice if the program allowed you to set your preferred hotkeys for this purpose.

In the eventuality you are fond and use PsTools to manage your operating system, but would like to create shortcuts for the custom tasks you perform on a regular basis, then perhaps FePsTools could lend you a hand.
