XP-Pro-SP3 with jv16PT version 2.0.0.970:
Yesterday evening (24-08-2010, 23) I tested the Registry Compact function "without Reboot". Everything worked fine!
Today (25-08-2010, 08) I used the 'Maintenance Tool' to look for and remove old compactor backups.
4 files (time stamped 24-08-2010, 23) failed to be accessed and removed, probably because they are not 'old' enough.
I think that build 970 should be aware of that! Why does b970 select these 4 backups as "to be removed"?
EDITTED (thanks to Siliconman01):
This is not a problem but by design. A reboot is required to allow the removal of these 4 files!
