Software package "RegTools for Windows"

This software package consists of four separate tools. RegDACL can be downloaded as Freeware version for testing purposes, but some options won't work there. The other three programs are only available as part of the registereed version of RegTools. When you want to register, just request an offer according to your needs. The current price list is also available online.

This software was developed with largest care. However, the author can not guarantee that it runs under each version of Windows on each computer flawlessly. There is no warranty for the program, to the extent permitted by applicable law. The copyright holder provides the program "as is" without warranty of any kind.

All tools of the package are 32 bit programs. In March 2007 all tools have been updated so that you now can also access all keys of the 64 bit versions of Windows, locally or over the network.
