    Re: RegRun Entries

    Hi Chris12923,

    RegRun has a lot of additional Features that make it worthwhile to use. Using the Gold version at the moment and 3+ years overall.

    Re: RegRun Entries

    Yes, there is duplication if you continue to use the reg tracer. I used to have mine set to poll every minute where as now I have it set to every 3 minutes. I will probably go to every 5 minutes to poll. The overlap does not hurt as RegDefend uses so little resources and CPU (1.5 seconds of CPU for 7 hours uptime) that you do not even know it is running. And at the same time I have been able to increase the time between polls. In this case I do not think a little duplication hurts anything... Just another example of layered defenses... And for this little bit of duplication, I still have the many other features of RegRun at my fingertips...

    Well I do totally agree with having the other features of RegRun. Great product and hope to never be without it.

    Thanks,

    Re: RegRun Entries

    Just came across THIS thread again which contains a comparison of different registry monitors. The reason I'm posting it here though is that the thread also contains a lot of good information on what keys/values are worth protecting.

    While RD doesn't appear to come across too well in the comparison list, it only lists the keys/values that are protected by default. Don't forget that RD is completely configurable and so every key/value mentioned could be protected with RD if you want to. :)

    Re: RegRun Entries

    Hmmm .. dumb me must be missing someting.

    I downloaded the file (thanks much! ... where do I send the Christmas present?). I then removed the txt suffix, moved it to the RegDefend\group folder. I shut down RegDefend and then started it up again ... but, nothing happened. The file is still a text file and there is no new group. I must be missing a step. Any help? Thanks. Great product and great add-on!

    Re: RegRun Entries

    Hi richrf,

    A couple of things to check... If you installed RD to its default location, here is the path to the file: C:\Program Files\RegDefend\groups\RegRun.ghst. Be sure that is where you put the file. There should already be two *.ghst files in that folder. Next you want to right click on the RegRun file and rename it to: RegRun.ghst.

    HTH ;) ...

    Re: RegRun Entries

    Hi,

    Still not working. Downloading, moving, renaming, but Regdefend doesn't recognize it. The only thing that I notice is that the other two files in the group have a ghst filetype while the Regrun file is a txt file type. Any ideas? Thanks for the help.

    Do you have "Show Extensions" on in explorer Rich? If not you won't be able to remove the .txt from the extension I think.

    Re: RegRun Entries

    I had the same issue, but I made a folder in RD main screan next to the other two folders (named: regrun) and then I putted that gst.file in the program files.

    that was the only way to do it.

    Re: RegRun Entries

    Hi richrf,

    In case you need help... Go to "Start" >> "Settings" >> "Control Panel" >> "Folder Options". Select the "View" tab. Be sure "Hide extensions for known file types" is NOT checked. Then click "Apply" >> "OK"...

    HTH ;) ...

    Hi puff-m-d,

    OT...

    Saw your screenshot and like the look. What theme are you using ?

    Also, what font are you using ? It's not the default tahoma one is it ?

    I am using FlyakiteOSX available HERE.

    I am not really sure of the font, just whatever is standard with FlyakiteOSX....

    Re: RegRun Entries

    Hi puff,

    Just as you guys suggested. Show the suffix!! :rolleyes:

    I thought I had done that, but obviously I didn't. Sometimes it is necessary to shake the tree a bit. Anyway, everything is working well. Thanks again.

    Re: RegRun Entries

    I just posted an update to the RegRun.ghst.txt file attached to post # 1. I updated it to take advantage of the new wild card features in version 1.200 and to take into account any new duplicate entries in the new default ghost files and this one...

    Re: RegRun Entries

    Thanks alot Puff-m-d!! I appreciate your work :D

    This is EXACTLY the kind of thing I was looking for.

    You see, I don't know what to add to RegDefend so I just use the settings it came with. But now it's even better. I hope more people will post useful ghst files for us who don't know much about this.

    Thanks again :)

    Re: RegRun Entries

    Did you manage to reduce the amount of rules thanks to the wildcard feature? :)

    Re: RegRun Entries

    I was able to reduce the number of rules and was able to add a few more keys and values. The wildcard feature sure makes it easier even though I had to play around with it a bit to be sure I was doing it right ;) :cool: ...
