A fine app... am using this in combination with Test Run by BB. (thanks,
bob) In some ways, Test Run and Total Uninstall overlap in their function,
but Test Run has a niche... it only deals with the registry. Its function
is much the same as rebooting to DOS and typing:
scanreg /restore
Difference is that scanreg saves the registry every so often, keeping only
the last 5 saves. With Test Run by BB, you choose a single backup to keep
(after you install your core software). I'm not sure if it is possible to
keep one of scanreg's backups and put it aside, and if it is possible, then
that would be the manual method, making Test Run unecessary, I think
(unless there are more features I overlooked).
I just did some googling and found this comment interesting:

scanreg restore = a tool that can load a backup copy of your registry
incase the current one is bad
system restore = a program that watches your computer and logs all file
changes and reistry changes, then makes restore points where you can go
back in time and load that restore point, thus putting back the registry
and the files that were in use at that point
Neither are a good option when trying to fix your computer, unless you know
nothing at all about computers,,, So basicly is a dummy program to fix your
computer when you have no other means
By restoring the registry, or by restoring a restore point, you are
throwing out anything that has changed since that time, that could be
updates, or programs that you have installed since that point etc
And, like M$ always does, system restore is just a ripoff of goback
software, to put a nother company out of bisines and control the world,,,
to remove it or reinstall it for whatever purpose, use oppcom, found at
