Viewing the console tree in a console window

When the console tree is visible, it appears in the left pane of a console window. Optionally, hide the console tree. For information about hiding the console tree, see Hide or display features of a saved MMC console.

What you view in a console window is determined by where the console window is rooted on the console tree. The initial window in a new console is rooted at Console Root, as are any windows you create with the New Window command on the Window menu on the main toolbar.

Close console windows to hide the console root or entire portions of the console tree. Then configure the console to prevent users from viewing hidden portions of the tree. However, the entire console tree is always saved when you save a console.
