Windows Components - What are they all for?

[Synomenon]

Does anyone know of a website that explains all the different Windows components found by going to the Control Panel -> Add or Remove Programs -> Add/Remove Windows Components

I'd especially like to see explanations of:

Internet Information Services (IIS)

- Common files

- Documentation

- File Transfer Protocol (FTP) Service

- FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions

- Internet Information Services Snap-In

- SMTP Service

- World Wide Web Service

Management and Monitoring Tools

- Simple Network Management Protocol

- WMI SNMP Provider

Message Queuing

- Active Directory Integration

- Common

- MSMQ HTTP Support

- Triggers

Networking Services

- Internet Gateway Device Discovery and Control Client

- Peer-to-Peer

- RIP Listener

- Simple TCP/IP Services

- UPnP User Interface

I have WindowsXP Pro. SP2 with all available Windows Updates downloaded and installed. Thanks for any help.

If you're expecting a Customer Service Representative to take your call immediately, you might want to do some of your own research.

Google (not googkle) is your friend here. each one of these terms will bring up all of the info you need.

I know that. I did search google for each item, but all I get is a jumble of results that don't even have to do with the search term. I've already spent more than a couple of hours on google, searching for this stuff. I've found alot on IIS. I know better to ask without first searching. At least I got decent replies from another forum I asked this at. Thanks for nothing.

If you read the forum rules, you might notice it asks you to search first, ask questions later....

Of course, people dont follow this all the time as it is easier to post than get a good search result, but thats not the point

At least I got decent replies from another forum I asked this at. Thanks for nothing.

We all cant be here serving up info all the time lol

Also, take into consideration that it wasnt vitally important, need-to-know info that second-type of post i.e. it wasn't highly important compared to someone's server going down and they need advice etc, which of course would be more important lol

And, everyone isn't on at the same time of day to you remember.

This would probably apply to any worldwide forum so keep it in mind.

PS I'm sure you would find most of the info on what you asked on the MS website somewhere - maybe the technet area - regarding the features you mentioned.

Have a nice day,

I do realize that everyone is in different time zones. I wasn't expecting a reply very quickly either. I just wanted to bump my thread up back to the first page since it quickly got pushed off. I didn't think anyone would see it if it was pushed off all the way into the back of the forum.

I always make it a point to search before asking and I did that this time too. I'm no message board noob.

Anyway, I know what they're all for now.

no problem, and i didn't mean any offense by my post - sorry bout that.

Take care,
