#### What is "inspect.exe"?
Inspect (Inspect.exe) is a Windows-based tool that enables you select any UI element and view the element's accessibility data. You can read more about Inspect on its [Windows Dev Center](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd318521(v=vs.85).aspx) page.
