Tweaking.com - Windows Repair (All in One) v1.9.11
www.tweaking.com/content/page/windows_repair_all_in_one.html
v1.9.11
Improved "Repair Windows Update". On a very few machines the repair was unable to rename the pending.xml file. On vista and 7 this would cause the "installing update step 3 of 3" screen to never go away at boot up. By simply renaming the pending.xml file fixed this. Even though this was already part of the repair, if the file was in use at the time then it wasn't able to be renamed and the person would get stuck at the next boot. I am changed the repair to now remove any attributes from the file and set a secondary rename option directly in the registry to have windows rename the file at boot up. So now if the repair is unable to rename that file during the repair it will get rename at the next system boot. Hopefully this will now keep the "installing update step 3 of 3" screen from coming up and getting stuck. I was able to replicate this problem in Windows and the new repair fixed it in my testing.
Improved the "Repair Winsock & DNS Cache". The repair reset TCP which would also clear any static IP info set on the system. Per user request the program will now extract the static IP info, run the repair and then put the static IP info back.
Tweaking.com - Registry Backup v1.6.0

v1.6.0
Windows vista, 7 and newer added a new registry hive to the system called Components. The program now supports this new registry hive.

Tweaking.com - Registry Compressor v1.0.0 Released
www.tweaking.com/content/page/tweaking_com_registry_compressor.html
First and foremost, this program does NOT remove or add anything to the registry. This is not a registry cleaner or scanner.
The Windows Registry is a hierarchical database that stores
configuration settings and options on Microsoft Windows operating
systems.
Just like databases the registry can become bloated and large when
there has been a lot of additions and deletions from the registry. When
this happens the system can become slower and use more CPU as
programs and the operating system take longer to read and write to the
registry, just like any other database.
This program does NOT remove or add anything to the registry. What it
does is it rebuilds the registry to new files, when this happens all the
overhead is gone and the registry is smaller and faster.
Microsoft offers a manual way to do this:
How to Compress "Bloated" Registry Hives
support.microsoft.com/kb/2498915
Thanks to this program you can now do it with one click. :-)

Tweaking.com - Windows Repair (All in One) v1.9.10 Released.
www.tweaking.com/content/page/windows_repair_all_in_one.html
v1.9.10
Improved the "Repair Windows Firewall". The program use to only restore the core of the shared access service. It didn't put any policies or rules. While helping a user in the forum they had a virus completely delete the shard access service key, including all rules. When the shared access was put back the firewall worked but he was unable to share any files. This is because there is some core things that have to be in the firewall rules in order to work. I have now added those core rules to the repair and it got his file sharing working just fine. This now makes the repair even better than before.
Added some more settings for the "Repair Windows Firewall". While helping a user in the forum the firewall was working but he couldn't get the firewall to open and would get a Group Policy error. While helping him I found the 2 reg keys that where needed to fix it. This keys are only on Vista and 7. They are not on Xp, 2003 or 8. The repair now puts these keys in on Vista and 7 only.
Added Windows Defender to the "Restore Important Windows Services" repair.

Tweaking.com - Windows Repair (All in One) v1.9.9 Released.
www.tweaking.com/content/page/windows_repair_all_in_one.html
v1.9.9
Fixed bug reported by users where a folder was created on the C: drive called "Program" and windows would ask to delete or rename it, which was safe to do. The bug was with the new log settings. Bat files do not like spaces. If there was a space in the log location name it made that folder and the log was never made. The fix is to just make sure that the path is started and ended with quotation marks. I have updated all 250 locations in the program to make sure the log path has the quotation marks. This bug is now fixed.

Tweaking.com - Windows Repair (All in One) v1.9.8 Released.
www.tweaking.com/content/page/windows_repair_all_in_one.html
v1.9.8
Changed the "Set Windows Services To Default Startup" repair to pull the services startup from a text file in the files folder instead of being hard coded. This will let users tweak this repair if they wish.
The program will now keep Windows from going into sleep mode or hibernation when repairs are running.
Added new repair "Repair Print Spooler"
Added "Time Elapsed" to the repair Window, so now users can see how long the repairs have been running.
Add new settings tab to the main window.
Under the new settings tab you can now change the default location for the log files.
Changed the default location of the log files from the Windows drive to the Logs folder in the program folder.
Added new repair "Restore Important Windows Services", this repair will replace all the services that the other repairs do. And as time goes I will add more services to this repair.

Tweaking.com - Registry Backup v1.5.3 Released

Tweaking.com - Registry Backup v1.5.3 Released
www.tweaking.com/content/page/registry_backup.html
v1.5.3
Fixed bug where if you had the program set to do only 1 backup per day, and had it run from the task scheduler and no backups had been created yet the program wouldn't run the backup. This was because it couldn't find the backup path since none was created yet and it caused an error to make the program think a backup was already done. This has now been fixed.
Added new feature where the program will show the elapsed time during the backup. If using the volume shadow copy service instead of the fallback method, there is a now a button on the backup progess window to use the fall back method. If VSS isn't working correctly on a system the program can end up waiting forever for VSS if it doesn't report an error but never makes the snapshot. With this button a person can tell it to use the fallback method instead if VSS appears to be taking far to long. This way a user doesn't have to stop the backup, go to setting, set the fallback and start over, thus saving the user time.

Tweaking.com - Windows Repair (All in One) v1.9.7 Released.
www.tweaking.com/content/page/windows_repair_all_in_one.html
Major update!
v1.9.7
Major changes to both "Reset Registry Permissions" and "Reset File Permissions". I found out that if you where on a non English system these two repairs simply wouldn't run and thus not change any permissions. This was because it was settings the permissions based on the names such as "Administrators" or "Everyone". On non English systems these are spelled differently and so would fail. I have changed these two repairs to set it by SID now instead of name. Example: Instead of "Administrators" it will use "S-1-5-32-544" (Which is the Windows Default SID for Administrators). These two repairs will now work on non English systems. As an added bonus, the two repairs run much faster now. The reason why is when I was using the names instead of the SID it had to go and lookup the SID of the names. Now that I am using the SID from the start it no longer has to do that lookup, thus making it run nearly twice as fast or better :-)
Fixed bug where if you opened the repair window, then closed it and then went back to it the repairs wouldn't work. This is because the program though it was in close down mode from closing the repair window. This has now been fixed.
Program now shows how many repairs are selected above the repair list. Example: "Repair Options (Selected: 10 of 35)"
The repair wmi was done in 3 steps to simply give a progress of what it is doing. Instead I have combined the 3 steps into 1.
Unhide none system files now gives a count of how many files it unhides. Also made a new status window to show when the unhide repair is running.
The Beta Repairs button will now be disabled when your running repairs.
The program now lists all fixed drives in the system for the Reset File Permissions and Unhide Non System Files repairs. Before it would only do the drive that Windows is on, now you can have it do other fixed drives as well. By default only the Windows drive is selected.
Log window now shows when a repair is being ran under the system account and the current user account.
The cmd.exe windows now show what repair it is doing in the title bar.
The program now checks if it is being run from a network path. If it is it lets the user know that due to Windows network security most repairs will fail and to please run the program locally on the system.

Tweaking.com - svchost.exe Lookup Tool v1.2.0 Released
www.tweaking.com/content/page/tweaking_com_svchost_exe_lookup_tool.html
v1.2.0
Per user request I have added the ability to sort the list by column.
Changed the details window from a list to a text box. You can now copy the text in the details window.
Added new details in the detail window to show what account the service is run from.
Changed the way the program pulls the memory of the svchost processes. Before it had to take debug privileges in order to pull the memory info. This required more API's calls and changes the programs privileges in order to pull that info. Since the program pulls the service information with WMI I changed it to pull the memory information from WMI as well, which doesn't require all those API calls and changing privileges. Thus making the code cleaner and faster.

Tweaking.com - svchost.exe Lookup Tool is another tool I made for my fellow techs toolboxes and for users who need the extra information.
If you have ever noticed svchost.exe in your task manger taking a large amount of memory or high CPU you wonder what it belongs to. svchost.exe is used to run certain services in Windows.
With this tool you can see all currently running svchost.exe on the system and what service each one belongs to.
You can now see which service is giving you trouble :-)
As an added feature you can view detailed information about the service right from the program.

Added renaming of the pending.xml file to the Repair Windows Updates
Due to an odd bug with the Windows 8 app store I had to disabled the reset reg permissions repair for now for Windows 8 systems. For some reason even though the app store has permissions, if you change the permissions in any way under certain keys under hkey local machine the app store will refuse to install apps and give the error code 0x8007064a. Until I can find out what keys the app store doesn't like touched I will keep this repair disabled for Windows 8.

Tweaking.com - Windows Repair (All in One) v1.9.4 Released.
www.tweaking.com/content/page/windows_repair_all_in_one.html
v1.9.4
On some systems, depending what programs are installed would not leave enough system resources for the reg and file permissions repair. On these systems after those repairs the rest of the repairs wouldn't work because the system was out of resources. There are two simple reg tweaks that increase the system resources Windows will use. Both repairs will now apply those two reg keys. Not only will this fix the resources being used up but should also fix any other program that runs out of resources. A reg file for these two tweaks are in the files folder with the program.
Added more files to the repair system restore.
Nearly all repairs run under the system account. As I work on the repairs I noticed something odd. Some parts of the repairs work when run under the current user account and fail under the system account, and other parts fail under the user account and work with the system account. Such as adding reg files or registering files. Here is an example registering the file blb_ps.dll under the user account works while trying to register it under the system account fails, and this only happens with a few files while the rest work fine under both. To handle this I now have some of the repairs run twice, once under the user account then again under the system account. This should handle any odd permissions between the two accounts and insure that the repairs are successful. This isn't needed on all repairs.

Added new beta repair "Repair System Restore" this is for Windows Vista, 7 and 8. Microsoft has no repair info on the system restore. So I monitored what services and files the system restore needs and I am working on the first known system restore repair. This is in the beta section till I get user feedback on how it works and if it gets system restore working again for people.

Per user request I added a new option to the auto delete old backups. You can now set it to always keep a minimum amount of backups. Example: A user has their system off and is gone for a while, when they come back and run the reg backup it would remove all the old backups, since the user was gone for a while all old backups where removed. With this new option it wont remove all the backups.
Fix bug where if the program had trouble pulling the system info it would load the tree view incorrectly and thus not backup those files. This is now fixed.
Changed the way the program closes itself. On a few systems after the backup was complete and the program closes itself it would randomly crash. Hopefully this new close down process will fix that.
Multiple code changes and improvements.

Tweaking.com - Windows Repair (All in One) v1.9.2 Released.
www.tweaking.com/content/page/windows_repair_all_in_one.html
v1.9.2
Per user request the main repair window is now resizable.
Added 11 new file association repairs. What makes these repairs different than just clicking a reg file is on vista and newer some of the keys are locked. Since the program runs the repairs under the system account these repairs have access to those locked keys.
Added a "Tips" button that loads a page on the site with some tips on which repairs to run and tricks you can do with the program.
Changed the list in the program to a treeview.
I have some repairs unchecked by default now instead of all repairs checked.
Many code changes.
