I have this really old tool I create (literally) 10 years ago do help with some MSMQ related development stuff at the time. Since then I have hardly touched it (source code) but it still seems to work to this day – even on Windows 7. It was intended to help me/developers to ‘see’ what is going on inside some test queues while we were in the process of working with a system that we developed that uses the technology.
The ‘Tool’ is really simple yet really powerful to do just what it was intended – to monitor MSMQ queues and let you manipulate messages inside the queues. It can view/create/delete/resubmit and do all kind of crazy things with MSMQ messages. It even has a simple MSMQ stress tool built right in!

Stress Tester
Of course, this tool is provided ‘as is’. I simply thought of sharing it if someone else might find it useful. The source code was/is written in plain old vb.net.

Hi, thanks for this tool.
Would it be difficult to make a version that displays all private queues? If a queue is added, it would be visible automatically…
Thanks
