Nifty system output comparison feature. I like that. Good way to track down problems.

Tested portable Not stealth: writes to Local Settings\App Data, writes to HKCU\Software\Microsoft\GDIPlus

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\GDIPlus is a standard Registry Key that is associated with gdiplus.dll.

Absolutely. I'll get to it sometime in the next week or so.

Are those line breaks (br) in the Description field intentional?

joby_toss · **Posted:** Fri Nov 30, 2012 1:43 am

No, I just copy/pasted the description from the home page... :oops:

Rectified!

Tested this out recently -- very helpful for getting support data when it helps to know details of a specific, important machine. I used to do this with SIW for tech support work.

The ability to compare changes over time is the major new feature and I can see that coming in handy to see how a computer has been modified over time, again in the case of possible problems or changes to an important machine that you are responsible for. That way, if it breaks, you can more clearly say "you broke it" and -- in the case of tech support -- charge accordingly.

That's just one possible example. With the amount of data available in this information utility, it's clear there are quite a few possible uses. Glad we have it here on the site.
