Col...As a good friend once delicately put it ...
"The following is not a better way of doing the job but it's my way"
code:
1) Close ALL open windows (quiet your machine)
2) Go Start->Run "regedit"
3) Hi-lite the key that you suspect will get the change (HKLM or HKCU )
4) Select Registry->Export Registry File... from the menu
5) Go File_name: c:\reg1 (the extention will default to .reg) (yeah - it's a big file)
6) Make your change ( ie set your pagefile size or whatever )
7) Set focus to regedit again and hit F5
8) Hi-lite the key that you exported in step 3
9) Select Registry->Export Registry File... from the menu
10) Go File_name: c:\reg2 (another big file - yup)
11) Pull-up a dos command window
12) Enter: FC REG1.REG REG2.REG >DIFF.REG
13) notepad DIFF.REG and look for relevant changes
14) if none found - restart at step 3 with "the other" key
Sorry for the elementary details, I know you know your stuff !
Does anybody have a better way ?
Caution - some stuff can't be found in the registry ( yes - it's true )
Shawn.
