<< < (2/2)

Shane:
Yeah I am going to add that option, I like the idea of it :-)

VSS lets me get every reg file ont he system and the reg files as a whole without having to read them. MS says this is the best way to do it because of volatile regkeys.

--- Quote ---    All registry keys are created as volatile, and the information is stored in memory and is not preserved when the corresponding registry hive is unloaded. For HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, this occurs when the OS is shut down. The RegSaveKey function does not save volatile registry keys. This flag is ignored for keys that already exist.

Then the API call (What erunt uses and what my fallback uses)

And right at the top
