I'm wondering if other, more widespread registry cleanup tools have a 'user mode' that one can specify exactly what to find, and what to replace/enhance it to.
regscanner I dunno about the 2.0 beta, but 1.3 has what I need- the find/modify engine regedit sucks at. certainly backups- and probably a ton of trimming.
120 programs in the uninstall list, probably 6x that installed and uninstalled- leaving, as has been mentioned, a 'installed' bug in the registry often even after revo moderate crapcheck.
Regscanner- well, I admit that technique of creating a reg file edit version, as I didn't know reg files had edit functions- where do I find a list of commands?
RegFromApp v1.20 and then run the app you want to try -if it does funny business in the registry you'll see it
Huh. I always assume it does funny business and use RegShot 1.82 to track registry changes, I just don't keep track too tight on the little stuff that stays.
win2k, what the hey.
OTOH, now I'm testing XP, perhaps Regshot 2.0 unicode for Windows XP 32/64 bit might be better. once I translate everything. I gather the program itself is multilingual, maybe the help file will be too. The site is in russian.
One other reason for wanting a find/replace in the registry is to place "documents and settings" in a nonstandard location.
hah. translating the site's gonna be fun one bit at a time. 'help' is 'about' and that's all folks!
