  RegView 3.x

  New Features: "Multiple Record Profiles": RegView 2.21 can only support one record "profile", i.e., the last record snapshot. Now as requested, RegView will support multiple "record" profiles. You can record multiple profiles first and then based on the profile you choose you can compare and restore Registry, Ini and "DIRs and FILEs" back to that record profile. "Profile Management": Create separate profiles for recording Registry and Ini, DIRs& FILEs. Also provide profile "Rename" and "Delete". "Copy and Paste" registry key and values: Copy and paste resgistry key(even the whole root) and values among different keys, roots, or even different computers if remote registry service is enabled. "Cut and Paste" registry key and values: Cut and paste registry key and values. "Remote Registry": Now fully support remote registry service. You can connect to "remote registry service"-enabled computers on the network and then edit(full editing features just like manipulating local regsitry such as: add, rename, search, delete, replace, copy , paste...) their registry or do the "record, compare or restore" to their registry. "Command Line Parameters": Now accept command line parameters under Win95 MS-DOS Prompt. For example, run "regview test.rrg test1.drg test2.reg". This will import the registry files: "test.rrg", "test1.drg" and "test2.reg" and update to the registry. "Handle REG_EXPAND_SZ and REG_MULTI_SZ and other specific NT registry types ": Now able to edit REG_EXPAND_SZ and REG_MULTI_SZ and other specific NT registry types. "Copy and Print the Search or Compare result ": After you do the search and compare, on the result dialog now have "Copy & Print" to copy the result entries to ClipBoard or print thru printer or to a file. And also allow you to select Caption on/off and customised delimiters. "Bookmark": Now you can bookmark any registry key which you wish to view or edit later on. With one click, RegView will automatically expand the registry tree and open the bookmarked registry key and allow you to view or modify. "Undo & Redo": Now you can undo or redo any registry key or value which you just edit. "View Registry Files": View registry files in tree structure before committing the registry changes. Features Enhanced: "Quick Compare All": Allow you to examine the result of all registry INI, and DIRs & FILEs comparison and then do the restoration at your will. INI files record option: Allow you to select which INI files to record. Add "Include Added, Changed and Deleted" options: On the registry compare dialog, add "Include Added, Changed and Deleted" options so that you can choose what registry entry status(Added, Changed, Deleted) to be restored. Show current and restore statistics on the top of the compare dialog. Unsuccessful restore or redo registry entries: If RegView can't successfully restore or redo registry entries in the list box of registry compare dialog, those registry entries will remain in that list. This will help determine these registry entries which might be due to access permission (especially, on NT) or some other reasons. Add "Add", "Delete" and "Changed" icon at the beginning of each list item on listbox of the Compare Result. Add "CPU Usage" at About dialog. Save Search String and other search options. Add "Browse" at "Connect to Network Registry". Add INI files under any path to be probed. (Note: to use this feature, need to re-record "INI Files" profile.) Record and compare dir and file time, size and version. (Note: to use this feature, need to re-record "DIRs and FILEs" profile.)  "Preference": to enable or disable showing warning messages. Bug Fixed: Fix on NT if the key which is not empty (has subkeys under) can't be deleted. Fix can't delete or replace the keys or values which also have the subkeys or values containging the search strings Fix the show "Modal" problem on the result dialog of registry compare. Fix Export Regsitry add key duplicate problem.
