Hi Kayman,
Have you used NTREGOPT with Vista?
Doesn't seem to be supported and I really do think these programs are
useless and can be dangerous.

I would be very cautious when someone states:
Quote:

ERUNT?
Answer: Yes! Though System Restore backs up more than just the registry, the
registry is essentially all you need to revert your system to a previous
state.
