:: A small text editor which can insert detailed system information
:: into the document.

This is why I downloaded it early. instead of queuing/archiving as I do with
most recommends I see in ACF. Because I was curious about what criteria it
was using for system files to display (figured it was to do with loaded
modules, but wanted to check the listing more carefully).

:: This works on WinNT/2000/XP, I don't know about Win9x.

The answer to Win9x compatibility is: No.

W9x, at every startup EditQuick displays a huge error window.

This is what I was curious about, the file list. And agree with OP that
it's the kind of file a programmer/tech support might want to see when
someone is having a problem with a program behaving correctly.

Yet here again: 'Tis a no-go for W9x. 2000/XP only.

Thanks. I might be able to fix this. So did the program close after
this error?

By how much? And how are you getting the RAM free?

Yes, but with Editquick, all the info is in one place.

This was designed to work well for "absolute beginners" when they call
tech support.

You can edit dll.dat, I think and add what ever files you want. See the
readme file.

Hitting OK on the error message window, proceeds to the normal program
interface. During error window, Regmon reports this:

: 13.33603920,Editquic:FF01A6E9,OpenKey,HKCU\Editquick,SUCCESS,hKey: 0xC29DA170
: 13.33612240,Editquic:FF01A6E9,QueryValueEx,HKCU\Editquick\MRUList,NOTFOUND,,

In my registry, it has created an HKCU\Editquick key, with MRUList values;
it has not created an HCCU\Editquick\MRUList subkey. Btw, please note that
this is the wrong location to start from. It needs to go under
HKCU\Software\<developer>\Editquick. Not insert direct on the HKCU branch.

Far better, as it's already using inis, how about doing the honorable, and
not requiring the registy entry at all?

By how much? And how are you getting the RAM free?

(I'm going to defer this until I've got fewer tasks running; right now
I'm opening and closing a lot and running different inet processes, so
it's not the ideal moment to get & compare mem readouts.)

You can edit dll.dat, I think and add what ever files you want. See the
readme file.

I have all the files that are listed in the sample dll.dat, and I did an
S+R to change their paths to reflect mine. Still no luck. EditQuick inserts
no [File Versions] section when I ask it for a report.

I'm bummed. I have a desire for exactly this function. I've gathered up
what I could in the way of utils that give a version listing of files
in a given directory (useful especially on the sys dir), and I use them.
Yet the only filters any of them provide, at most, it's by extension.

I would really love to have a utility that will give me a textual report
w\ version info, where I define the entries in that list. As EditQuick does.

If it's not possible to get EditQuick compatible for W9x, then quoi faire.
I'll just have to wait it out until I'm using 2000+.
