Readme file of Regshot 1.9.0 (2013-02-02) ----------------- Introduction: ----------------- Regshot is a small, free and open-source registry compare utility that allows you to quickly take a snapshot of your registry and then compare it with a second one - done after doing system changes or installing a new software product. The changes report can be produced in text or HTML format and contains a list of all modifications that have taken place between the two snapshots. In addition, you can also specify folders (with subfolders) to be scanned for changes as well. (Most of above text was copied from webattack.com, thanks :) ----------------- Usage: ----------------- (1) Click the "1st shot" button It pops up a menu which contains several items: (A) "Shot", to take a snapshot only, and it will not be kept if you exit Regshot program; (B) "Shot and save...", to take a snapshot of your registry and save the whole registry to a "hive" file and you can keep it in your hard disk for future use; (C) "Load...", to load a "hive" file previous saved. If you want to monitor your file system, just check the "Scan Dir [dir..]" checkbox and input the folder names below it. Note: Regshot has the ability to scan multiple folders, just separate them with ";", Regshot will also scan the subfolders of the current folders you entered. (2) Run any program that may change your windows registry or the file system (3) Click the "2nd shot" button (4) Select your output LOG file type, "text" or "HTML", default is "text" (5) Enter your comment for this action into the "comment field", e.g.: "Changes made after winzip started". The comment will only be saved into the comparison log files not into "hive" files (6) Click the "Compare" button Regshot will do the comparison job now (auto detect which shot is newer), when it is finished, Regshot will automatically load the comparison log as you defined above, the log files are saved in the directory where "Output path" is defined, default is your Windows Temp Path, it was named as the "comment" you input, if the "comment field" is empty or invalid, the log will be name as "~resxxxx.txt" or "~resxxxx.htm" where "xxxx" is 0000-9999. (7) Click the "Clear" button The two snapshots (or separately) previous made will be cleared and you can begin a new job. Note: "Clear" does not erase the log files! (8) To quit Regshot, just click the "Quit" button (9) You can change the language of the Regshot at main window, all words are saved in the file "language.ini". View it for details! (10) New to 1.7: regshot.dat now changed to regshot.ini, skip dirs and skip registry keys are included. The executable's size is smaller! (11) New to 1.8: File shots are now saved in hive file. "UseLongRegHead" option added in regshot.ini to compatible with undoReg (1.46) "UseLongRegHead=1" means using "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" instead of "HKLM", default 0 Do not compare shots saved with different "UseLongRegHead" option! (limit gone in 1.9.0) (12) New to 1.9.0: x64 and Unicode versions. You can compare shots saved with different "UseLongRegHead" option. Loading ANSI hive files in Unicode builds and vice versa is not supported. ----------------- Thanks: ----------------- Alexander Romanenko -- Former space provider! http://www.ist.md/ Ivan -- Former space provider! http://www.digitalnuke.com/ Toye -- Release! zhangl -- Debug! firstk -- Debug! mssoft -- Test! dreamtheater -- Test!
