NRT also took a snapshot of all system files and enabled users to review subsequent changes. next in nsw2001 (and also only working with win95, win98 and winme) was Norton Registry Editor , that theoretically was better than the windows user interface and allowed you to get behind it to make changes to otherwise inaccessible areas of the registry. its Undo feature made it safer to use than other registry tools. neither the registry tracker nor the registry editor are included in nsw any longer. when i migrated to win2000 but still had nsw2001, i lost these deeper registry capabilities, and i thought it was just because of the operating system. in truth, it was, as far as nsw2001 was concerned, but what i didn't realize was that reg tracker and reg editor would be dropped from all newer nsw versions. hopefully this clears up some of the confusion. :) mark
