While Windows 3.1 usually had to rely on its setup program to change video modes, Windows NT has the ability to change video modes on the fly.


Windows NT views device drivers and services as a list of available programs that can be enabled or disabled.

Also note the "Licensing" icon in the control panel. This is specific to Windows NT Server and is used to keep track of the number of users that are authorized to connect to a Windows NT Server over a network. Each user that connects to a file share or printer share on a Windows NT Server must have a "License" to do so. Licenses are purchaced from Microsoft.


This is the Windows NT 3.51 network control panel. It lists all of the network software that has been loaded and allows configuration of each piece.


Printers are created and modified using the print manager. It can modify print queues on remote computers, although this is somewhat limited. For example, ports (listed here in "print to") can not be created remotely.
