Download link (http://www.peazip.org/peazip-portable.html) raises a 404 "not found" error. Link instead just to http://www.peazip.org/ or to http://peazip.sourceforge.net/peazip-portable.html.

DVDsig v1.01

webfork on 25 Mar 2023
  • 10KB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 1 Jan 2004
  • Suggested by AlephX

DVDsig scans all files in a directory structure to verify that files have not been changed or corrupted. Although named for checking external media (DVDs), the program can monitor any folder or folders for changes.

For use with CD/DVDs:

  1. Place dvdsig.exe in the top-most folder you wish to check and run the program
  2. Click "Scan" and wait for the check program to check all files
  3. Burn the files (including dvdsig.exe and dvdsig.md5) to your disk
  4. To check the results, run dvdsig.exe from the disk at any time to verify file integrity

The program uses the MD5 checksum algorithm.

Category:
Runs on:Win98 / WinME / WinNT / Win2K / WinXP / Vista
Writes settings to: Application folder
Stealth: ? Yes
Unicode support: No
License: Freeware
How to extract: Download dvdsig.exe to a folder of your choice and launch.

Regshot2 Unicode v2.0.1.70

Midas on 10 Feb 2021
  • 612KB (uncompressed)
  • Released on
  • Suggested by Lupo73

Regshot2 Unicode is a registry change and file system change detection diff tool that takes snapshots, generates HTML reports, and creates automatic REG undo/redo scripts. The program can save/load snapshots to file for later use, while registry path and file path inclusion/exclusion rules can be set to include/exclude paths in the snapshots.

The program includes two components:

  • Registry Shot - It will automatically generate UNDO.REG and REDO.reg registry scripts based upon the difference between two snapshots taken at two points in time.
  • File Shot - will catch file changes based on either timestamp, size, or CRC32/MD5 and report these changes in an HTML file

Note: Regshot2 Unicode is not an update to Regshot, but a unique program. Although it shares a similar interface, it is a code fork by a different author and has many more features.

Category:
Runs on:Win2K / WinXP / Vista / Win7 / Win8
Writes settings to: Application folder
Stealth: ? Yes
Unicode support: Yes
License: Freeware
How to extract: Download the ZIP package and extract to a folder of your choice. Launch Regshot.exe.

NOTE: if the program loads in Russian, close the program and open "regshot.ini" in a text editor. Make sure the first two lines read:

[Settings]
Language=English
Similar/alternative apps: Regshot
What's new?
  • Updated the Regshot.ini files in all folders
  • RegShot[2] will now start in English by default
  • RegShot[2] Will now save the changes in INF and REG format by default

Application is crashing while scanning whole c: drive is turned on. Add "C:\Windows\servicing\LCU" folder into Excluded object list to workaround this issue.
