Be careful with those typos. The person you are writing to may literally enter "C:/scanreg /restore" and "C:/edit". You meant C:\scanreg /restore and C:\edit . And that wouldn't work on my computer. On mine the command would have to be scanreg /restore since I do not have scanregw.exe and scanreg.ini in my root directory and maybe mechmuertos doesn't either. My files are only in C:\Windows and the DOS Path operation will find it or else I would have to change to the C:\Windows folder before trying that.
