Thank you for the clear explanation. Ran sfc /scannow and it found no issues. But, I agree that supporting Shane for the work put into Windows Repair is a good thing for the community. I will download/purchase the Pro version just to have it in my back pocket in case of one of those bump in the night moments.

Tweaking.com Support & Help / Just Repairs or Maintenance

« on: September 30, 2018, 03:19:10 pm »

Been looking at the Windows Repair Pro for a while now but have what may seem like a basic question. My Dell laptop seems to be running fine. Windows 10, latest updates and I keep up with Windows Defender, Malwarebytes Pro and daily differential backups with Macrium Reflect. But there's always that lurking suspicion that there may be errors that I'm not seeing. Is Windows Repair Pro intended to only "fix" things when you're in trouble, or is it something you may want to run occasionally just to keep things under the hood in tune? Thank you.

I looked at the link above regarding Windows 7 disks. I have a laptop that (when new, OK, and a couple of re-installs) it took hours, if not days, to purge of the bloatware that comes with new machines. If you do a re-install from the "rescue" partition, you're back to square one. I'd love to be able to download Win 7 disks and do a clean install, with only what I want installed, installed. Is there any "tutorial" or guide available on downloading/using these ISO images. I know how to burn ISO images to CD/DVD, but I'm not clear how you go about transferring your Windows 7 license (that came with the Windows 7 installed on the laptop) to the installation done via the downloaded disks.

Thanks. I focused on #2 in your post. Noticed that there was a "portable" version of Registry Backup on this site. Downloaded that, unzipped and copied just the "TweakingRegistryBackup.exe" (it had the correct program icon) from that folder to the Programs (x.86) directory that was created by the Registry Backup installer . . . problem solved. Thanks again.

Tweaking.com Support & Help / Registry Backup Generic Icon

« on: June 10, 2013, 06:39:16 am »

Although everything seems to work correctly (OK, so this is a really, really small point!), the icon for Registry Backup in the Start Menu (as well as in the program's folder) is generic. I've tried reinstalling a couple of times, but nothing works. When I right click on the program shortcut in the Start Menu, go to "properties", and then "change icon" I get the statement "Windows can't find the file %Program Files%\Tweaking.com\Registry Backup\TweakingRegistryBackup.exe".

Just wanted to add that the program itself, in the Program Files (x86)\Tweaking.com\Registry Backup\ has the same generic icon as well (so it would make sense that the shortcut has the same generic icon). Although, if I right click on that generic icon in the program's directory, and go to "properties" the real icon does show in the dialog box that pops up.

Any ideas?
