Enditemize

Enditemize is an obscure command in compatibly documented versions of the Microsoft Windows operating system. This command is primarily associated with the command-line utility, igetutil, which was used by developers to customize and extend the user interface of early versions of Windows.

When executed, the enditemize command is thought to call for the removal of the item list box from a minimized dialog box greeting users at start-up in the following versions of Windows: Windows NT 3.1 to Windows NT 3.5x, Windows 95, and Windows 98.

The exact functionality of the command is not explicitly documented in official Microsoft sources, leading to speculation regarding its intended purpose and the characteristics of the dialog box that are affected by this command. Available, though unofficial, descriptions suggest that the enditemize command has little to no noticeable impact when applied to dialog boxes other than the startup greeting in affected versions of Windows.

To execute the enditemize command in the command-line interface, users would reference igetutil and tie the suffix "enditemize" to the command or parameter being called. There is no clear entry point for the enditemize command within the Windows operating system's accessible command palette.
