Good article. Reminds me of a gripe I have about MS, though. In Enterprise Manager, using external tools, you could open explorer on the server where you had an open session of SQL Server - with Command = C:\\Windows\\explorer.exe (location of explorer on your desktop) & Parameter = "\\[SRV]\C$". Very handy, also works for server manager & event viewer, with the \\[SRV] parameter. Doesn't work any more with External Tools using Management Studio. BOL says it should work, but it doesn't.
