"RegView" is a Registry editing and System restoring utility.
RegView not only provides almost all the features which "RegEdit" has but also adds some very useful features which "RegEdit" misses, such as select root or whole registry for registry key or value search, replace and delete with one single search and which can also combine with multiple keyword string search.
Another key feature of RegView is to provide registry "record and compare" so that users can track any registry change. And better yet, you can restore those registry changes with one single click. RegView also "record and compare" and restore ini files and any "directory and file" change. These provides a good system recovery to restore back to original system status at the time of recording. For examples, users can use RegView to record registry, ini files and "directory and file" before installing some application under test. Then after the test, you can use RegView to restore the system change which has been affected by that application.
Note:
Since the Registry consists the most important information of Windows system, for safety reason we suggest you always back up registry files as often as you can. USER.DAT and SYSTEM.DAT under your Windows 95 directory are these two sytem files you need to back up. Since they are hidden, you need to use DOS command "attrib -r -s -h filename" to make them visible. Then you can just copy them manually to a floppy or another directory on your hard disk. Don't forget to use "attrib +r +s +h filename" to set those file attributes back after you do the backup. In case you want to recover the system to the status when you back up those registry files last time, you can just replace those damaged registry files with these backup files.
