Guest David Webb Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 Re: Seeking Wxp There is really no need for a tool like scanreg.exe in the Windows NT OS series, they don't suffer from the same weaknesses that are prevalent in the Windows 9x series. This tool was developed for use in Windows 98 and Windows ME. It's main purpose was to backup and restore system settings, including the registry. See this tech article for details: Description of the Windows Registry Checker Tool (Scanreg.exe) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/183887 If you have a need to backup your registry beyond what is done via System Restore, see this link for a excellent registry backup and restore utility: ERUNT http://www.larshederer.homepage.t-online.de/erunt/ It also includes a registry optimizer tool. The latest version of this utility has an autobackup feature or one can use it with the Task Scheduler. Backups can easily be restored from within Windows or the Recovery Console. I have mine setup to do a daily backup using the Task Scheduler. I've rarely have to use it for recovery purposes..but it gives one a warm feeling just having this option available. If used, be sure to store your backup(s) in a subfolder of the %SystemRoot% folder so that it's accessible when you're in the Recovery Console mode.

Guest David Webb Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 Re: Seeking Wxp No, ERUNT can't do that. I don't know of any utility that effectively can. As I stated, ERUNT comes with an optimizing tool, or it can be doawloaded as a separate utility. Here's what it does: NTREGOPT ======== Registry Optimization for Windows NT/2000/2003/XP v1.1j, 10/20/2005, Freeware Written by Lars Hederer e-mail: lars.hederer@t-online.de Look for the latest version here: http://www.larshederer.homepage.t-online.de/erunt To find out what's new in this version, please see the "Version history" section later in this file. Introduction ------------ Similar to Windows 9x/Me, the registry files in an NT-based system can become fragmented over time, occupying more space on your hard disk than necessary and decreasing overall performance. You should use the NTREGOPT utility regularly, but especially after installing or uninstalling a program, to minimize the size of the registry files and optimize registry access. The program works by recreating each registry hive "from scratch", thus removing any slack space that may be left from previously modified or deleted keys. Note that the program does NOT change the contents of the registry in any way, nor does it physically defrag the registry files on the drive (as the PageDefrag program from SysInternals does). The optimization done by NTREGOPT is simply compacting the registry hives to the minimum size possible.
