Version history for Reg Organizer (Portable)

<<Back to software description

Changes for v7.11 - v7.12

• A Reg Organizer icon added to its Explorer context menu command for running an application with tracing.
• The problem with the application's digital signature has been fixed.
• The registry cleanup function ignore list update.

Changes for v7.0 - v7.10

• The Application Uninstaller tool: The new type of applications for Windows 8/8.1/10 (Windows Store applications) is supported.
• The Startup Applications tool:
• 1) Support of the new startup locations: Services and Drivers. Reg Organizer allows to to configure the delayed launch of the applications from these locations as for other startup applications.
• 2) When displaying entries which are calling the third-party code by way of using the rundll32.exe program, the information about the actually called module is shown instead of rundll32.exe.
• 3) A command for removing the selected entry has been added to the startup items list.
• Disk Cleanup: If you want to specify the custom file masks to be removed during the disk cleanup (via Main Menu -> Commands -> Settings... -> Disk Cleanup -> Custom Files), now it is not necesary to add every mask separately. Just add them in one line, for example: "*.tmp *.temp".
• Bugs fixed:
• 1) If you try to reboot the computer without closing Reg Organizer, a message was shown that latter does not allow to end the session.
• 2) Registry editor: The unusual registry string values that does not have the the null terminating character, could be displayed with the superfluous, "garbage" characters at the end.

Changes for v6.60 - v7.0

• The program's user interface has been updated.
• Startup applications optimization. Reg Organizer may speed up your computer boot time by delaying specific applications which are registered for automatic starting along with the system. These are programs that are not necessary right after the system has loaded.
• The disk cleanup tool has been completely remastered.
• Improvements:
• 1) The tool is now able to find more unneeded files and invalid shortcuts on the disks.
• 2) It works more quickly.
• 3) The ability has been added to specify the custom folders and the file masks for cleaning them. (The Clean Folders function from the previous versions was able only to purge the specified folders completely.)
• The Important Registry Parts tool: You now have the ability to select several entries at once. Also a new command was added to the context menu allowing you to turn all selected items into checked.
• An option was added to Settings allowing you to disable the splash screen on program start.
• Bug fixed: Some interface parts of the Startup tools could be displayed incorrectly when working under the Classic Windows interface theme.

Changes for v6.50 - v6.60

• The Startup Applications tool:
• 1) The percent of users who delayed and disabled a startup application is now shown for each application in the list.
• 2) The context menu commands which allows you to delay and temporary disable a startup item have been added to the context menu.
• 3) The removed startup applications for which the automatic launch was recently blocked are displayed now in the interface.
• 4) A more reliable working of the tool with regard to delaying and disabling the startup applications.
• Registry Editor:
• 1) Ability to create and edit the REG_QWORD values. This registry type represents the 64-bit integer values.
• 2) Bug fixed: When editing the numeric value, the backspace key allowing you to delete the previous character does not work.

Changes for v6.32 - v6.50

• A new Startup Applications tool has been added. It accumulates the functionality that was previously in one of the Important Registry Parts sections and also includes the following improvements:
• 1) Now every one of the most applications automatically started after system load can be delayed by specifying an any period of time after which it will be launched. The delaying of the applications which are not necessary immediately after the system load allows you to accelerate its being brought to a working state; that is, when there is no more latency in the system's user interface.
• 2) Building the startup applications loading order by using the delaying function.
• 3) Displaying the system load speed graph.
• 4) More startup applications now displayed.
• 5) Protecting the status of the delayed, disabled, and removed startup entries and restoring it in the event the status was changed by the parent program.
• 6) Easily changing several entries at once, if necessary.
• 7) A context menu command allowing you to move to the startup entry in the system (for example, open the registry key containing the startup entry).
• 8) Extracting the startup application’s information from the digital signature, if available for an application.
• The Tweaks tool:
• 1) The System Load and Unload Speed-Up quick tune-up group has been supplemented by a new tweak. Enabling it boosts the system load by reducing the startup applications priority on a number of occasions.
• 2) A tweak was added: "Disable the shutdown button on the Start Screen (Windows 8.1 Update 1 or higher)".
• If the installer execution tracking agent is enabled, it gets loaded with a 1 minute delay after logging in to the system. (Previously this used to occur immediately after logging in.) This was done to boost the system's moving into the fully working condition by reducing the number of processes executed simultaneously just after the system has loaded.
• In the Important Registry Parts tool, the most frequently used parts are now located in the beginning of the list.
• Bug fixed: When changing the size of the Tweaks window, the entry lists within it weren’t resized.

Changes for v6.31 - v6.32

• The Application Uninstaller tool:
• 1) Improved the accuracy of the installing applications with tracing function, so that the system changes which do not apply to the application being installed will not be registered.
• 2) Interface improvement: The Notation Conventions window's height was increased which removes the vertical scroll bar.
• Bug fixed: The column might disappear from the applications list in case of the repeated opening of the Application Uninstaller tool window.

Changes for v6.26 - v6.30

• When uninstalling applications that may change the browser settings, like various browser toolbars, Reg Organizer shows information about how to return your browser's settings to the initial state.
• Reg Organizer is now able to determine the name of the application installed with tracing even if it does not register itself in the registry (in the uninstall keys). For example, such situation may take place for portable applications. Earlier, by default such applications were assigned the "Installed Application" name.
• The Installer Execution Tracking Agent has been improved.
• Registry editor and search functions interface improvements.
• Fixed bugs:
• When running under the 64-bit system, in the Startup Items function of the Important Registry Parts tool it was not possible to view the properties or launch the entry if it has been located in the C:\Windows\System32 folder.
• When running under the 64-bit system, when running the application's tracing using the Explorer context menu the program to be traced have not been launched automatically if located in the C:\Windows\System32 folder.
• The "Access violation..." error message might appeat after right clicking on the Startup Items section entry of the Important Registry Parts tool.
• The portable version: After reboot initialized by the Registry Optimization tool, the program's settings might have not been saved.
• The portable version: The "Shut down the computer after the optimization" option does not work properly in the Registry optimization tool.

Changes for v6.0 - v6.20

• Application Uninstaller:
• 1) The Applications list menu now features a command to export the list of installed programs to an HTML file.
• 2) If an application for which installation was traced is removed without Reg Organizer participation (for instance, using its own uninstall tool) the traces data is not erased. You can use it later to clean the system from the uninstalled application leftovers.
• Registry Editor:
• 1) The Favorites from Regedit.exe, the standard registry editing tool, is automatically imported to Reg Organizer.
• 2) Ability to edit the registry keys access rights. A "Permissions..."command was added to the registry key context menu in the registry editor.
• A right click on every tree-like list in the program now results in selecting the item (not only summoning its context menu).

Changes for v5.45 - v6.0

• we are glad to release the final
• version of Reg Organizer 6.0, that steps forward again making registry
• work simpler, more comfortable, and convenient. We devoted several
• articles to novelties of this version, each telling about a certain
• new function in great detail.

Changes for v6.60 - v7.0 Beta 2

• Startup applications optimization. Reg Organizer may speed up your computer boot by delaying the applications which are registered for automatic starting along with the system, however mostly they are not necessary right after the system has loaded.
