RegChk Version 1.1 Is free and will always be free. rdthom@netcom.com It actually has a web page now! http://www.sageinst.com/regchk You can get a copy of VB40032.DLL in zip format here ftp://ftp.sageinst.com/regchk/vb40032.zip Fixes from version 1.0.1 to version 1.1 --------------------------------------- added "regedit export complete" routine, fixes PERMISSION DENIED fixed "Bad Path" problem when string contained characters considered illegal for a pathname changed drive letter resolution (fixed network drive letter problem) fixed the half-clear-screen problem changed regedit export name to regchk00.txt (someone's note file got overwritten) added user notification of file open completions fixed close problem that prevented Start a 2nd time visual enhancement - added line counter for each item improved filename extraction and improved filename filter added multi-filename-per-registry-line functionality Known bug: ---------- Occassionally, after you quit RegChk, there is an instance left in memory. If you do Control-Alt-Delete, the win95 tasklist will show RegChk still running. I believe this is something with VB4 and the SHELL command, but I'm still tracking it down. If you try to restart RegChk, and it complains, you'll have to use EndTask from the task list. The work-around for this is to only use EXIT button. Future enhancements ------------------- A no-nag file where you can list things that you know don't exist, but you cannot delete because you need future functionality. (Log files and such) An INI file for storing window positions so they're restored next use, and for storing what files you want generated. (Seems some people don't want *any* files, just the stuff on the screen, and some people want more files in different formats) Some things I've found
Have you used RegChk to find junk in the registry, deleted it, only to find it come back again? Win95 re-reads the \windows\win.ini file each time the system boots. Win95 then updates parts of the registry with that information. Check for the same data in win.ini and delete it. It won't show up in the registry again after that.
