Backup tool:

Removing backups created by the automation tool, running registry cleaner in automatic mode, does not give you an "are you sure" prompt.

So far, only request would be to make window size(s) sticky. If I select a single registry clean option, and expand or maximize the final results window, then close it and start again repeating the routine for another clean option, the results window size reverts to small. Perhaps there is a preference I have missed.

The reason it reverts is described in this post ...

Under Vista Home Premium i detected the following Problem: After running the registry cleaner in normal modus, i have always to install again my Corel Draw X3.

After the new install, all works properly until i use again the registry cleaner and start thereafter Corel Draw X3: i get the message that i have to install again, because there are mistakes in the installation ordner and/or in the registry.

Could you send the backup file (entries.reg) to me for analysis? You can send the file directly to me at jouni.vuorio@macecraft.com

TCHAPAIEV wroteThe design is very nice ;

However , the bug that I noticed in versions previous to RC2 , relative to REG MON , is still there in RC3 , while it disappeared in RC2 !

namely taking snapshots never completes: the progression bar shows fills up and then mysteriously the program hangs forever ; the bug had disappeared in RC2 and is back in RC3!

I have done the test with Register Monitor (Kaspersky Internet Security disabled).

Here are the results with successively following options:

1) "Only the following roots":

1.1) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and HKEY_CURRENT_USER > OK (snapshot file = 18,3 MB)

1.2) Preceding roots + HKEY_USERS > OK (snapshot file = 23,2 MB)

1.3) Preceding roots + HKEY_CLASSES > OK (snapshot file = 35,8 MB)

1.4) Preceding roots + HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG > OK (snapshot file = 35,9 MB)

2) "Full snapshot" (is same as 1.4 above) > OK (snapshot file = 35,9 MB)

Conclusion: no problem with creating snapshots for me.

Note: when the progression bar finishes, one has to be patient and wait a while for the snapshot file being created. For 1.4 en 2 above (full snapshot) that takes even 70 seconds (thus from finishing progression bar until real completion (= popup and showing snapshot files window).

I come back in order to correct my preceding post related to detected bugs in Regmon : I had to uninstall and reinstall and then it worked so far as redseujac tells ; the only difference is that it takes on my PC MUCH longer to take the snapshot: namely , after the progression bar completes , it remains more than 5 minutes (or about so !) to get the result ; there is another question ; I did a full snapshot , not by using THIS OPTION , but adding more and more hives as allowed by checking ; that procedure works ; by default , the tool presents two options: one is full snapshot, the second is "only the following keys" ; two hives are checked by default ; as alareday mentioned , if you check all , it tantamounts to take a full snapshot ; but if you let the default setting and click on : full snapshot , the hives become greyed out , which is OK , however it is not clear that the work gets done ; I will check and come back soon ; thanks to redseujac , deserving his guru's title more than ever .

I realize now I couldnt get beta4 to run either, but was leaving the country, so forgot about it. Previously, I had deleted earlier versions. Now when I tried to run beta4, it said I had no license key, which I now realize is because I had deleted beta3. Consequently, beta5 can;t find the license as well. Any way I can get back in the game?

You can delete all the Betas and install the RC3, it gives you a new 30 day free test period.

Here are the results of bug fixing of the RC3 done since the last report. Notice that the Reported by field means the user who was the first to report the problem. If there are errors in these reports, please let me know since these are used when it is decided which users qualify for the free personal license.

Issues found by beta testers

Issue: In Registry Cleaner's results window > Select >"Higlighted" is NOT translated.

Reported by: redseujac

Status: Actually, the Select > Highlighted option shouldn't be visible at all. Fixed in the Final version and later.

Issue: In Registry Find & Replace : the message "Analyzing the registry, this will take a while. Please wait." and the button "Abort" are NOT translated.

Reported by: redseujac

Status: Fixed in the Final version and later.

Issue: The progress bar of Start Menu Fixer doesn't show the progress of the operation very well.

Reported by: tullik & BlackDex

Status: Fixed in the Final version and later.

Issue: When I give Duplicate File Finder a list of more than one directory to search, it only searches the last one -- and does it multiple times.

Reported by: tullik

Status: Fixed in the Final version and later.

Issues found in in-house testing

Issue: Registry Find & Replace reports a job well done even if the search was aborted.

Status: Fixed in the Final version and later.

Issue: The program should show more tips on how to use different tools.

Status: Fixed in the Final version and later, now all the main tools show a short description of what the tool does on the very first time the tool is opened.

Hello ,

File Cleaner, Temp dirs tab (XP Pro)

File Cleaner listed about 700 files in two system Temp diirectories.

I use the Search Tool to select the lines for C:\Windows\Temp, then clicked Remove
*** All selected lines but 1 left the list and the files were backed up and deleted, except for the 1

*** For that 1, PT said "failed to access" -- win explorer said "… being used by another …" (?)

*** A correct looking "All done" message with counts appeared in the message box

I then used Select > inverse to select the about 550 files listed from the User Temp directory, then clicked Remove
*** All selected lines left the list and the files were backed up and deleted (so far, so good)

*** However, there was no "All done" message for this second operation!

Can you repeat the problem?

No status indicator=no abort feature ...

If you choose to hide the status indicator, you can't use the abort feature.

For applicable tools, why not add Abort to the File menu?

This is by design. The Abort could perhaps fit to the File Menu but that would be such a major change I can't make at this point of development, I'm afraid.

Registry Cleaner, Scan Report steals focus … (Vista)

The Scan Report window steals focus from the main window! … and/or vice versa ...

This is in fact a feature, it makes sure the Scan Report window doesn't get hidden under any other windows.

Registry Cleaner, structured list, select and contect menu (Vista)

The context menu in the structured list is better, but still does not work quite right.

Observations:
1. When the scan completes, the context menu anywhere on the list is fully populated, although no list elements are highlighted.

As far as I can tell this is a problem with Vista, under Windows XP it's impossible to click on the tree list without selecting any items. My best guess is that there are some items selected but due to some policy change in Vista the selection is not shown if the user clicked on the background of the tree view component.
