Norman, very suspicious. I see no reason registry checker should need to get on the internet. It doesn't even give you ANY choices when you run it. You click, it runs for a second, it reports. That's it. [Win98]
Here's what the help file says
Replacing your registry with the backup copy
Your system always keeps a backup copy of your registry configuration (including user account information, protocol bindings, software program settings, and user preferences). You can use the backup copy if your current registry encounters a problem. Each time you restart your computer, Registry Checker automatically scans your registry. If Registry Checker notices a problem, it automatically replaces the registry with the backup copy.
to start Registry Checker.
Notes
You can also start Registry Checker by clicking Start, pointing to Programs, pointing to Accessories, pointing to System Tools, and then clicking System Information. In System Information, click the Tools menu, and then click Registry Checker.
If your registry contains an entry referencing a file that no longer exists (such as a .vxd file), it will not be fixed by Registry Checker.
