Re: Opinions Please on Norton

Do you have Erunt yet Figgs? There's no Scanreg in XP (or indeed in NT4.0 or
Win2K. To back the registry up you need Erunt:
http://www.larshederer.homepage.t-online.de/erunt/ ).

NTRegopt comes with Erunt so no need to get it seperately.

(btw I've got a batch here that runs Erunt first boot of the day only, if
you get cheesed off with the default options, that is with - unless he's
changed it at last - having to remember now and then to manually delete old
backups. Mine makes one for each day of the week, so keeps a maximum of
seven).
