RegFix 0.95 (02.04.99) ====================== Program information ------------------- Program Archive Name: regfix.zip Program Name: RegFix Program Version: 0.95 Program Release Date: April 2, 1999 Program Description: RegFix is an utility designed to analyse changes made to Windows Registry. Target OS: Windows 95, Windows 98 Software type: Freeware Company information ------------------- Company Name: Elcom Ltd Contact E-mail Address: regfix@elcomsoft.com WWW URL: http://www.elcomsoft.com/regfix.html What is Regfix? --------------- When installing software, it is possible to make a copy of the Registry before the installation and another one after the installation, to compare the copies and to see what changes the software has made. RegFix also allows to check what changes to the Registry installing new hardware (extension cards, periphery devices, etc) has caused. Moreover, RegFix can be used to compare configuration of different computers. Unlike Registry monitoring software (e.g. such as RegMon and Win- Expose Registry), and most uninstallers (CleenSweep, Uninstall, etc.), RegFix compares full copies of the Registry made in different moments of time, whereas the above software products monitor all accesses to the Registry within the certain time interval and then filter them, which sometimes result in errors since other applications and the system could also modify the Registry during the same time. RegFix searches for differences on all levels: in Keys, in Values Names, and in Values Data. Results of the comparison are displayed as three trees (see below). Important: RegFix doesn’t do any changes to the Registry – don’t worry about it! RegFix deals only with root keys HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and HKEY_USERS, since the key HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG is a copy of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Config\000õ; HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT is a copy of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes; HKEY_CURRENT_USER is a part of HKEY_USERS; and HKEY_DYN_DATA is (normally) used by the system only and is of no interest to a user. RegFix does not require installation in this version. Bug reports, suggestions, thanks and complaints are always welcome. Please E-mail regfix@elcomsoft.com
