No, to restore the image, you boot from a bootable CD which you create
during the Acronis install procedure. It's very quick, too. I can
restore my aprox 3Gb of data onto a 20Gb drive in less than four
minutes. When it's done, Windows is back to normal, exactly where you
left it.

Thanks for sharing this program. I loaded it on my XP and ran it.
Program did as promised and I deleted all the "green" entries. I then had
my wife load it on here XP box and she ran it also but there were no "red"
entries or "green" entries. All the entries showed up in "black".

Have you run into this?

Thanks

Never observed that using the "Clean the Registry" option. The last
line always shows up in red or green. If you're using another option
(e.g., searching for invalid startup entries) they are NOT in red and
green. Pretty much you should only delete entries using other options
if you're absolutely sure that's what you want to do.

Thanks but this is coming up in the "Clean The Registry" option. What really
makes it odd is it is only on one of two machines both running XP Home. Tried
to send the author an email in regards to it but must me abandonware because the
email bounced.
