WipeFile is a secure file and folder deletion utility, overwriting data to prevent later recovery.

is there a way for this program to read an Outlook (not outlook express) address book listbox of type OUTEXVLB? I do not get anything at the bottom of the screen. I have tried it with around 200,000 items and with about 800 items and nothing shows up. Is it because this program does not support this particular listbox/window???

v1.50 now has a drag and drop button taht you drop on the window you want to see the text from. It makes this very valuable the tool so much easier and intuitive to use. An excellent upgrade, imo.

*Extremely* important tool for software testers. Getting lengthy error messages out of static windows is critical to helping developers understand what went wrong. If you want to help any of the makers of software on this or other sites, start with SysExporter. |
Windows Registry Recovery v2.2.0
Midas on 11 May 2020 Change history
- 4MB (uncompressed)
- Released on 20 Aug 2019
- Suggested by AlephX
Windows Registry Recovery allows to directly read files containing Windows registry hives and extract many useful information about the configuration and windows installation settings of the host machine.
Note that the program is not simply a registry editor: it works with other tools, including exported keys. It’s useful for seeing registry issues, sandboxing tools, and diagnostics. To your own computer's registry files, open a NTUSER.DAT system file but keep in mind that these are usually hidden by Windows to avoid accidental deletion.

| Runs on: | WinXP / Vista / Win7 / Win8 / Win10 |
| Writes settings to: | Registry, if "Persistent layout" option is enabled (it'll be saved to 'HKCU\Software\MiTeC\Wrr'). |
| Stealth: ? | Yes. But only if no layout is saved; otherwise see "Writes settings to" above. |
| Unicode support: | Yes |
| License: | Free for personal use |
| How to extract: | Download the ZIP package and extract to a folder of your choice. Launch WRR.exe. |
