The one that showed the keys instead of just doing the automatic
scan fix routine?

If you do, would you post a link to it, or post it in
alt.comp.freeware Thank You.

I did a search on my archive disk, without luck, just the '97 version.
The only hit for the earlier was an old winmag article about it.

.. . .

Btw, if perchance you want to view the undo.reg file generated by MS
Regclean, one way to go is using a .reg file viewer.

http://www.utils32.com/regview.asp.

It loads for view a .reg file from disk, disconnected from the registry.
It gives the same hierarchical layout as a registry editor. I admit that
it's only that company's pay product which gets more interesting, in its
letting you interact from that file directly with your registry. But the
freeware viewer can be handy on occasion. At least it does let you copy
a key path to clipboard, so you can then go view any keys in question in
your actual registry, with your reg editor.

Supplement. I never noticed until now. But this RegView program does let
you jump via a direct click from a key in the .reg file you're viewing,
to its actual location in the registry displayed by regedit.exe.

Obviously the key has to exist in the registry for the hotjump to succeed.
Like an Regclean undo.reg file that you've provisionally already merged
back, while you selectively decide which keys you want to delete.

Don't remember if it does - haven't used it for many years. It's version
4.1a (build 7364.1) from March 13, 1998.

Ehhhhh...... now that I have the correct program name, I do. And since
Regvac is trialware, why are you recommending it here? This group is
supposed to be for the discussion of freeware. Trialware isn't freeware.

Just curious, how far back are we talking about? I located version 4.1
(not 4.1a) and it performs like version 4.1a, except that their is a
warning not to use it with IE 4.0. Also located a version 4.0 and it to
performs the same way, although there is no readme file included, so you
use at your own risk.

Offhand, I don't know the version.
If the two you found preform the same way, i.e.
Auto scan on start & ends with fix errors, without showing reg
keys, then it must be an earlier version still.
The one I'm looking for showed keys by type, OLE etc.

The winmag article I mentioned to you does show a screenshot, and it looks
much different than the 97 versions.

RegClean first scans, counts and sorts entries in your Registry.
Then it launches the OLE Automation Registry Correction Wizard,
which concentrates on entries for local and remote OLE automation.
Click on the Options button to set the items you want RegClean to check.

Very small chance there might be a download leftover in the MSDN archives.
In meantime, you might also take interest in MS Regmaid, 1997. Seems pretty
similar.

Unless i missed something (always entirely possible) I didn't
see a link for that screenshot.

This does sound like it!
Can you lay your paws/hands on it?

Haven't had any luck there in years. I think it's 'cause they
don't like non M$ browsers.

Yes, I have that. Not similiar at all. Actually, it is more like
the newer regcleans, autoscan, etc.
 
Well that's pretty awesome. You found it!
I figured it have to come from someone who had it.
I'd ask ya how ya found it 'cept I'm 'fraid I'd hear that

My best offer was going to be to upload the a screenshot from the locally
saved article(*). In order to show you a picture of what you don't get to
have. =) Then Zo came by and foiled my plans. Not only located the program,
but even found screenshots for it, too.

They're more hostile if you use one of their own. They kick and shove you
about; and do writes to your registry with a great fury. I actually had to
purchase a specialized browser (scitrav 1xb) specifically for surviving
the MSFT sites (esp to keep free from all those frames).

Now that this one has been found, I've got hold of it, and will take
a closer look... (In advance, I can say that I naturally expect to
treat it as I do all in that group - as a helpful investigative starting
point, and not as a Yaya-kill-it-all Clickmonster.)

(*) Re the locally-saved article. At one point all the old winmag content
fell off the web, and there was left only those articles that some of
the individual columnists had moved to their sites. I'd just assumed
that state of affairs hadn't much changed. Yet turns out it has...

So the article I mention, it is back on the web. It's not one that's
particularly informative, and the screenshot in it turns out to be only
redundant if one views the groups of pics at the keyscreen.com page that
Zo posted. But here's its URL, anyway.
