Clever stuff JV but you really lost some of those ideals you had whilst serving your time in the Finnish army.

I use the last freeware version of jv16 (ver. 1.3.0.195).
Maybe I misunderstand your meaning, but the "'Tools' allied to the registry cleaner" work fine for me.

I had a look at the screenshot of Capture-a-ScreenShot. It doesn't seem to allow you to choose the format to save the captured screenshots.

Perhaps you'd like to look at SRip 32 which allows you to choose icon, bmp, gif or jpg (and gives you options within each of these)

It also gives 7 different "grab" options vs 2

Other than that I liked some of your other recommendations.

Thanks for the jv16pt link, Higgy.

I attach a snap of the registry tool. Perhaps you would try that download for me and confirm it does indeed show the 'Tools' option.

Hello jaddag,

What I liked about the Capture-a-ScreenShot was its simplicity but thanks for the SRip 32 link.

Can you, using it, duplicate the Start Menu and extension as in my gif below. If so please post the steps you took. I reverted to Hoversnap for the gif.

Since I originally downloaded the version I mentioned from a different site, I downloaded it from again from 321download.com to compare files.
They were identical, as I was positive they would be.
Here's my screenshot for confirmation:

I looked at jv16 version 1.3.0.195 and it has Tools between the seach and Help.

[aarhus2004]

Well thanks for that, Higgy. I am baffled - and you too, Hewee.

Hi Ben:

My JV16 1.3.0.195 also has the "Tools" options. Perhaps you may need to remove and reinstall the JV16 program.

Hello Joe,

I have been working on it for a few days - however I have just been able to download the trial version 1.4 and that is a step forward.

Thanks, Joe.

Why can't you download JV16 1.3 from OldVersion.com?

and I have tried it, Joe, Every download I found of the old version 1.3 has failed to show the critical header 'Tools' on installation. So it seems as if my computer is implicated somehow. But I can find nothing remotely virus-like or spywarish.

I will try the new download from the 321 site after I see how I get on with the trial version. The last time I used it it lasted only a day or three before it was de-activatated.

However it maybe... I will PM you.

I got my JV16 1.3 from OldVersion.com.

I use 3 reg cleaners and have been for along time without any problems. (That I know of)

1) Regseeker = Favorite
2) JV16 Powertools
3) RegClean.exe - Microsofts one that they put out for awhile then retracted for some reason.

And RegCompact.NET.exe to compress the reg.

They all seem to work OK for me. But I have some issues once in awhile that I don't know where they came from but I just fix them.

I, on the otherhand, have had problems in the past with reg cleaners....including JV16. They break my instal of L&H voice recognition and reverting to the previous state still leaves it broken. Reinstalling L&H doesn't work and I have to reinstal everything from a backup drive image.
Many of my registry tweaks disappear, too............grrr.

Feedback appreciated. There is a possibility of Sun Java involvement or rather non-involvement since I was having issues with it and its partner Yahoo Geocities and had it un-installed in consequence. I have it back onboard now.

I am running jv16pt version 1.4 (30 day trial) successfully at the moment and my old stalwart RegSeeker (which, with the exceptions of the VarlDID {Win Set-Up items}, and MS Word stuff which I do not have, performs well enough for me. I find myself increasingly interested in the Registry. It is such a delicately powerful part of Windows and, I think, is a part which holds the 'key' to many issues. But as has so often been said in these forums "it must be handled with care".

One final note. If anyone has problems with Windows SetUp (in the Add/Remove CPanel list) I have a package of the entire set of registry keys, which will, if merged, restore the functionality of that with a single click. I can e-mail them(it) as required. It's handy for those who find extracting stuff from the whole shebang stored on one's computer daunting/challenging! Better still if I can do it I will upload the zip here.

Cheers.
