·      HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run-

·      HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunEx

2) Files:

·      autoexec.bat (autoexec.nt)

·      config.sys (config.nt)

·      win.ini

·      system.ini

·      winstart.bat

3) Shortcuts in folders:

·      Startup folder

How to create a profile?

2.    Open File menu and choose "Save profile as...".

RegRun automatically includes this file in the profile list.

The profile list contains the last twenty saved profiles.

How to restore a profile?

1. Run Start Control.

2. Open File menu and choose "Open profile..." (or press CTRL+O).

On the left pane you can see the current profile list.

1. Select the row and click right mouse button to get popup menu.

2. You have a choice:

a) Read profile directory

b) Open profile from another location.

c) Create shortcut to profile on the Windows desktop.

d) Copy profile to floppy disk or another location.

e) Delete it.

f) Show backup copies (RegRun automatically saves nine previous versions of the main profile - regrun2.rr2. File names begin with "backup" string).

3. If you selected the "Read Profile," you will see the profile directory on the right pane and the button "Restore" will become enabled.

4. Be careful! Check the box "Clear all before restoring".

a) If this box is checked the RegRun clear all registry keys, files and directories before restoring.

b) If the box is unchecked the restoring process will overwrite the current contents. This is useful if you want to restore some items. In this case, uncheck all unnecessary items in directory.

5. Click the "Restore" button.

6. RegRun asks you to restart your computer.

This is necessary so that the changes will come on.

Notes:

1) RegRun automatically saves your configuration in profile"regrun2.rr2" when you save your work. The other name of this file is "Last Known Good." The "Last Known Good" profile is used by Secure Start to restore the configuration.

2) RegRun automatically saves the current configuration in the profile "Undo.rr2" before restoring.

It helps you to restore the previous condition.

This file is not included in the profile list, but you can open it from for the disk. It is located in the RegRun directory.

Tips:

1. If your computer works fine, then save the profile with the name, "Successful Configuration" and leave it. If you have trouble later, then you can restore it.

2. Pause all items excluding system utilities and save it to the profile "Clean Configuration." This can help you to diagnose problems.
