It appears Mike Lin took down it's former website -- www.mlin.net is now void of any of his utilities.

After declaring all his software obsolete, he provides a link to https://web.archive.org/web/20131109164426/http://www.mlin.net/index.shtml.

Sadly, as most of his utilities were single file executables (exes), they didn't get harvested into the Web Archive; SCP is still available from:

The entry was updated to reflect this...

"Mike Lin took down it's former website" ... That's a real bummer. Mike's programs helped out a bunch of people that I introduced to this. I definitely owe him. Great software and a huge help supporting XP and dealing with insistant autostart programs and junkware.

InstallSpy v2.0

InstallSpy tracks changes to the registry and file system, and also record all shell notification events (e.g. media inserted), when a program is installed, uninstalled, or run. This can warn you of programs trying to install new services, programs that are set to run on reboot, changes to your home page, etc.

Official site no longer hosts anything about InstallSpy. Linking to Softpedia.

Writes settings to: Windows registry. But given the nature of the application, I think it can be accepted as portable.

  2. Copy all files (except unins000.exe and unins000.dat) into a folder of your choice
