krit86lr Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 I'm posting this in response to the $hf_mig$ thread going on in CCleaner Discussion. This tool may, or may not be useful in checking your system. I haven't tested it yet, but it can't hurt. "Microsoft has released a command-line tool named Qfecheck.exe that gives network administrators increased ability to track and verify installed Windows 2000 and Windows XP hotfixes. This tool provides the following benefits: ? This tool helps customers who thought they had properly installed an update, but had not, and are now experiencing a problem. Previously, it was somewhat difficult to identify which fixes were installed on a computer. This simple tool easily enumerates all of the installed fixes by Microsoft Knowledge Base article number. Customers can then confirm that they have installed the appropriate set of fixes before using a valuable support incident and potentially experiencing unplanned down time. ? Many companies identify a common set of fixes that are required for all servers in a given data center. To help ensure that Windows 2000 and Windows XP hotfixes are applied in a consistent manner across many servers, this tool allows you to create logs for each computer in your organization that show which fixes are installed. Once those logs are created, you can easily scan them for consistency. ? There are rare situations in which, because of a network problem, a problem with the update itself, or a subsequent update that improperly overwrites a previous fix, updates could be damaged or removed in error. This tool ensures that not only have the fixes been installed, but that they are current on the computer. ? Microsoft has noted a significant correlation between maintaining a consistent platform across organizations and the overall stability and uptime of those systems. Microsoft believes that using this tool to regularly audit computers is a best practice that will help customers achieve higher reliability on their computers." (MS Corp) FOR MORE INFORMATION Read Me Downloads for the tool are also available on this page.

AndyManchesta Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Hi Krit I was just looking at area's of the forum which I havent checked out and saw this post This batch script will create a list of installed Hotfixes on a NT Based system Open notepad and copy the contents of the code box into it : regedit /e Hotfix.txt "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Hotfix"notepad Hotfix.txt Goto file on the top bar of Notepad and choose 'Save As' , name it anything with a .bat extention such as hotfix.bat then change the 'Save As Type' to All Files. Save it to your pc and double click it to export the Hotfix details to a text file and Automatically open with Notepad. I dont think its going to give any information that would help with the Ccleaner issue but it does list every Hotfix installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Andavari Posted March 8, 2006 Moderators Share Posted March 8, 2006 regedit /e Hotfix.txt "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Hotfix"notepad Hotfix.txt That's pretty crafty. Glad to see there's another batch and registry fiend on here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyManchesta Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Removed Tweaks Will happily keep them for myown system as I was only intending to put them on for a couple of weeks incase novice users got confused about what they do, with only about 3 downloads in 3 days I thought I may as well remove them sooner All The Best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krit86lr Posted March 8, 2006 Author Share Posted March 8, 2006 You rock! Thanks! Hey, since we're on the topic. Do you have a tweak to make the NumLock button to stay on after rebooting?

AndyManchesta Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Hi K Sorry I cant help you there , I think the NumLock button is just a keyboard feature and it wouldnt make any registry changes if its enabled or disabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyManchesta Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 I assume the tweak involves adjusting this key value: HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Keyboard\InitialKeyboardIndicators I wasnt sure if it would restore the settings when the system reboots as its not a key I usually play around with, If you use a registry monitoring tool and enable numlock it doesnt make any changes so thought its best to not get involved with that one All The Best Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Rochip Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 You rock! Thanks! Hey, since we're on the topic. Do you have a tweak to make the NumLock button to stay on after rebooting? On my pc there is an option in the Bios that says boot num-lock. It was under Advanced CMOS Settings in the advanced section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
