Win 7 / 64 Numerous "Regedit.exe" missing messages during repair

<< < (3/3)

GHenry:
I've been working with Windows computers for over 30 years (and with CP/M before that) and have come to consider Windows not as an operating system but as the biggest virus in the history of computers. So I'm quite accustomed to inexplicable things happening.

I'd be interested to be informed about updates of your program. What I personally would like to emphasize is the possibility of undoing at any time any changes your program may have made.

Thanks for your cooperation.

Kind regards

Thats why I have it do a registry backup :-)

90% of the repairs have to do with the registry and so because there is always unknown variables that could cause something to go wrong I like to make sure the user has a registry backup they can restore from.

I think having the program check the files with a md5 hash is a good idea, as with the number of reg file the program uses, if any of those files gets corrupted or changed it could then cause problems, so better to be safe and make sure they havent changed.

In the middle of moving to a new home in a couple of weeks so I am slammed, but my goal is to try and have it done by next weeks update :-)

GHenry:
Let me say that I appreciate you kind cooperation. As for the planned updates, I myself will be away for some time to Asia and will not be using your program for quite a while.

However, I should like to add one comment: in my view it would be desirable to have the option of undoing ALL changes your tool may have made, although I'm quite aware that that may be too big a challenge. Anyway, as far as I'm concerned, I always make a general backup before doing any major checkup or repair work.

Thanks again!
G.

Shane:
It is actually impossible for me to make an undo for all the repairs. The reason why is all the repairs are ran through Windows itself, and things like registering a dll file (Just as one example) is done by windows and when you register a dll file it writes itself to the registry and such. So there is no possible way for me to know everything that is going on and what registry keys it is setting, so the best thing to do is backup the whole registry :-)

Have fun on your trip. :wink:
