A single-EXE
wonder that gathers detailed information about your system, such
as motherboard, BIOS, CPU, devices, memory, video, drivers,
ports, printers etc. It is also a real-time monitor for CPU,
memory, pagefile usage, network connections, network traffic,
passwords, etc.
NOTE: Keep a version prior to early 2008 as at that
time this program is no longer entirely freeware.

IMPORTANT: How the Registry is stored
- In Windows 95, 98, and Me, the Registry is
contained in two hidden files in your Windows directory, called
USER.DAT and SYSTEM.DAT.
- In Windows 2000 and Windows XP, the Registry is
stored in several Hives, located in the \windows\system32\config
and \Documents and Settings\{username} folders.
