Thomas, great find with the reg tool. I have been hacking around in the registry for years and didn't know this existed. Makes me wonder what else might exist that I don't know about and have been working around for years.

I'll second (or third) that great find Thomas!
Excellent tool.
This could make testing a known good install against a latest install a little easier.
Anyone know if it's XP and up only?

looks like it ships with XP and is in the resource kit for NT/2000.
