The SandmanRe: RegC - v1.2Mon Dec 7 18:16:02 1998 Greetings J4F,Welcome to the forum. I've just read your posting and found an interesting gem of information that I'll be honest and say I've never tried before.Question 2. Where does this program store it's 'days left..' counter?.This one had me for a while... Found the file RCW.D98 using filemon, but couldn't locate a mate in the registry. Finally converted to hex format and search came up with the hex equiv of number found in RCW file( mine is 729649)Nice one..:)Regards to where you can find a program that 'records' added files, system registry file changes etc during installation of a program..I use REGVIEW for this job, it records EVERYTHING and more besides.. Can restore your system back to the way it was before you installed a program and is very easy to use..Go here: http://www.xnet.com/~vchiu/regview.shtmlThen visit: http://www.proweb.co.uk/~greenway/Es47.htmlAnother GOOD program to use is: INCTRL V3, the help file that comes with this program says:-"Gone are the days when installing a program simply meant copying the .EXE file to your hard disk. Modern Windows 95 and Windows NT applications all come with their own personal installation programs that create directories, copy files, change your .INI file settings, add items to the Registry, and generally litter your disk. When you want to uninstall a particular program, it can be nearly impossible to determine just what files to get rid of.INCTRL 3 eases the process of uninstalling programs by recording all changes made during the installation process and saving them in a report file. It handles all types of install programs, even those that restart Windows or reboot the system. INCTRL 3 is compatible with Windows NT and Windows 95; it should work with any Windows-compatible network as well."I could proberbly find this program on one of my disks and post it on my web page if your interested in it.SandmanThanks by Just4Fun , Mon Dec 7 19:32
