Introduction

Winobj is a program that lets you browse the Windows NT Object Manager namespace. Its similar to the WinObj tool that is part of the Windows NT SDK, but is much more powerful. This NTInternals WinObj has an explorer-like user interface, knows how to query many types of objects, and can display object-related security information.

WinObj works on NT 3.51, NT 4.0, and Win2K.

Starting  Winobj

Winobj can be run from any account, however administrative privilege is required to view much of the namespace.

Viewing Object Properties

To view the properties of any object you can double-click on it or use the "properties" toolbar button. WinObj will let you view security information related to objects if you have required access rights. If a button on the security viewing page for an object is disabled it indicates that, because of insufficient rights, WinObj is unable to obtain the associated information.

Reporting Bugs and Feedback

If you encounter a problem while running WinObj, please visit the Systems Internals Web site (http://www.sysinternals.com) to see if a new version of WinObj corrects the problem you see. If not, please record all the information pertinent to the error condition. Determine if the problem is reproducible, and if so, how, and send this information to:
