Scanreg.exe




It's not 100% perfect (what is?), but it's a good tool to know how to
use.

I've heard about that in XP (restores viruses on your computer after
you have laready cleaned them), but please tell me where I find it in

pointing out a candidate for the "best error message". Maybe over

Don't worry too much, Thomas. There is some kind of "restore last working
configuration" in all Windows.
But you're right I /should/ have added a :-) or 2 to make it more clear
that the reply was somewhat tongue-in-cheek.

Delete everything in your registry and you won't see it.
