I seem to recall that early versions of this tool did toxic things to Win
2k, but I was game to try again, since one 2000WS desktop and one laptop
were taking forever to shut down, with many 'unload' errmsgs and failure to
save client roam profiles on the laptop.  I gritted my teeth, and tried the
tool at

(validation required - grrrrrr).

Results were sensational.  Shutdown time was reduced by 2/3, and profiles
seem to be getting saved.

In the process, I noticed that something since SP4 has healed my SFC
/runnow problem.  SFC used to erroneously request the distro disk.  Now
it's a good boy, and properly fills ...\dllcache with all the right
versions.  Stuff starts faster, too.  Rollup pack?  Who knows.  I put it
down to clean living.

(Curiosity question:  My Win2k registries are running about 55MB saved
(ASCII, regedit save of everything).  My main XP Pro machines are 110 and
117MB saved the same way.  Should this scare me?  I hate regcleaners in
general, but do use ccleaner occasionally.  Shall we compare registries, or
would people talk?)
