however - neither includes a space between Scan and REG!<g>
The command is
SCANREG /FIX or
SCANREG /OPT /FIX
There was some debate a while back elsewhere between Bill Blanton, Koldbear
(RIP), and myself - and a few others - as to whether this still applied.
IIRC we eventually decided (after some testing) that there was a certain
amount of benefit to the combination. However - the benefit was so small as
to be unnoticeable in real life situations (about 10Kb in a 9MB registry).
The extra complications weren't worth the results.
