Title: What is Security Explorer
1- A powerful and intuitive utility to search for
and modify Windows NT/2000 security on NTFS
drives, the Registry, and Shares.
2Todays Networks
More companies are building their networks around
Microsoft Windows NT/2000 than ever
before. According to Microsoft, Windows 2000 can
help you reduce costs through improved management
and increase productivity through improved
reliability and ease of use. Networks built on
Windows 2000 Professional could reduce the
firm's directly related IT costs by 15
percent. But as a network grows in size,
administering it becomes much more difficult.
Thats where Small Wonders Software can help

third party software I've purchased in the last 6
years - keep up the fantastic work filling in the

open..." Kevin Bolger IST Manager - "I have a license for Security Explorer and I use
it quite extensively. Just last week our PDC was
reconfigured and I had to create over 600 shares
from the data that we restored. Thanks for saving
me from at least two weeks of pure drudgery. It
only took me one and a half days. Thanks again."
