Alan_B Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 After using NTREGOPT to optimise the registry, and the system reboots, what looks like 40 MBytes of old registry backup/temp files are created in 7 different folders on Windows XP Home edition SP3 The attached file lists each redundant item. RegOptFIX_C_TO_ZAP.TXT The attached *.txt file can be renamed as *.BAT. RegOptFIX.txt When RegOptFIX.Bat is run it creates 3 LOG FILES :- RegOptFIX_C_TO_ZAP.LOG, showing temp/backup stuff deemed worthy of zapping; RegOptFIX_C_SUM.LOG, showing the entire contents of the 7 folders to show context and confirm later version of the "zap" stuff"; RegOptFIX_C_VALID_.LOG, the contents of the 7 folders that are considered valid, i.e. excluding the zap stuff. After it has run and created the 3 lists, it offers the choice of whether or not to delete the junk. After NTREGOPT reboots, the backup stuff exists and does not seem to go away until I zap them. I leave the backup stuff for a day, and if everything is fine on the next reboot then I zapp the junk. NB I have never had a reboot problem, and if I did I expect to fully recover by restoring the previous ERUNT registry backup. I am pretty sure that the registry backup stuff made by XP will be almost useless, I am sure that there would be permisions and Access Control List aggravations to overcome before I could over-write the latest registry files with the "backups".

Moderators Andavari Posted July 8, 2009 Moderators Share Posted July 8, 2009 I can confirm that CCleaner is unable to fully deal with ERUNT restorations, and NTREGOPT backups - even after making a winapp2.ini entry for them it still horrible misses those .bak's, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
