If you edit the registry on a regular basis, perhaps you are not satisfied with the standard functionality provided by built-in registry-editing tools, supplied with Windows NT/2000/XP. If so, then RegSafe Professional from Imaginelan is just for you!
RegSafe Professional Edition 2.0 is a suite of tools designed to provide Network Administrators, IS/IT professionals, and Power Users with the ability to perform advanced Registry management on 32-bit Windows PCs. RegSafe provides comprehensive Registry editing and management capabilities not found in other professional level Registry editing tools, all from within a protected environment (Fig. 13.12).
The most attractive features of RegSafe are listed below:
-
Protected Environment. RegSafe automatically saves a copy of the Registry before you introduce any modifications. In Chapter 3, where we discussed new functionality of the Regedit.exe utility supplied with Windows XP, I pointed out that despite all its advantages, the new Regedit version lacks the Read-Only mode (which, as you remember, was present in Regedt32.exe). Well, RegSafe has this useful function, which is particularly appropriate for beginners who have only just begun to study the registry structure. Furthermore, in contrast to standard registry-editing tools (Regedit.exe and Regedt32.exe), it has Undo functionality, which is available when editing the registry. Unlike other Registry editing tools, if you make a mistake while editing with RegSafe, you won't trash your system. Even if you mistakenly delete something from your registry, the first thing RegSafe does is to take a registry snapshot, and then prompts you to confirm the operation (Fig. 13.13). If you realize later that you have made an error, you can easily undo it (Fig. 13.14) Really great!
-
Registry Comparison. RegSafe goes far beyond simple Registry Editing. Consider, for example, its powerful Comparison features. Compare Current or Snapshot Registries, compare keys/values within the same Registry, compare access control lists (ACL) on Windows NT/2000/XP systems. It's fantastic!
-
Powerful export features. Administrators and other advanced users will appreciate RegSafe's export feature, which allows portions of a Registry or Registry comparison results tree to be exported to a REG file (Regedit4 format).
-
Partial or full registry restoration. If an unwanted change to the Registry was made, or a problem with the Registry is detected, RegSafe can perform a partial or full restoration of a Registry snapshot to the current ("live") Registry.
-
Registry restoration for non-booting systems. Well, I am a big fan of restoring unbootable systems (it just became my favorite hobby). If you are like me, you'll appreciate the capabilities provided by RegSafe in this field. The developers of this magnificent program have implemented the so-called Command Prompt SOS technology, which helps to restore the registry on all existing Windows versions (yes, really on all of them, including Windows 9x, ME, NT/2000/XP systems with FAT, FAT32, and NTFS-formatted drives). In addition, RegSafe provides Recovery Console restoration on Windows 2000/XP.
All this makes this tool a registry editor of choice for anyone, from beginners to experts. Furthermore, the "Editor Only" version of RegSafe is FREE (despite the fact that its functionality is limited in comparison to the fully-functional retail versions, it is still the most powerful registry-editing tool I have ever seen).
