Microsoft Management Console

I had a need for knowing which Microsoft Management Console snap-in's are available. A little digging on the Internet gave me:

Certificates certmgr.msc
Indexing Service ciadv.msc
Computer Management compmgmt.msc
Device Manager devmgmt.msc
Disk Defragmenter dfrg.msc
Disk Management diskmgmt.msc
Event Viewer eventvwr.msc
Shared Folders fsmgmt.msc
Group Policy gpedit.msc
Local Users and Groups lusrmgr.msc
Removable Storage ntmsmgr.msc
Removable Storage Operator Requests ntmsoprq.msc
Performance perfmon.msc
Resultant Set of Policy rsop.msc
Local Security Settings secpol.msc
Services services.msc
Windows Management Infrastructure (WMI) wmimgmt.msc
Component Services comexp.msc

.msc files are associated with MMC, so you can just run them.

On my machine, WindowsXP SP2, the Component Services snap-in (comexp.msc) is located in c:\windows\system32\Com which means I can't just go to [Start][Run] and enter comexp.msc to start.

Updated 6/30/2006: As my friend Kishor correctly points out, it is possible to start the Component Services management console by running dcomcnfg.exe
