Explanation:
The resplendent registrar is a tool that offers a complete and safe solution to administrators and
power users for maintaining the registry. It can be used for maintaining the registry of desktops
and remote computers on the network. It offers a solution for backing up and restoring registries,
fast background search and replace, adding descriptions to the registry keys, etc. This program is
very attractive and easy to use, as it comes in an explorer-style interface. It can be used for
Windows 2003/XP/2K/NT/ME/9x.
Reg.exe is a command-line utility that is used to edit the Windows registry. It has the ability to
import, export, back up, and restore keys, as well as to compare, modify, and delete keys. It can
perform almost all tasks that can be done using the Windows-based Regedit.exe tool.
Registry Editor (REGEDIT) is a registry editing utility that can be used to look at information in the
registry. REGEDIT.EXE enables users to search for strings, values, keys, and subkeys and is
useful to find a specific value or string. Users can also use REGEDIT.EXE to add, delete, or
modify registry entries.
Answer option D is incorrect. EventCombMT is a multithreaded tool that is used to search the
event logs of several different computers for specific events, all from one central location. It is a
little-known Microsoft tool to run searches for event IDs or text strings against Windows event logs
for systems, applications, and security, as well as File Replication Service (FRS), domain name
system (DNS), and Active Directory (AD) logs where applicable. The MT stands for multi-threaded.
The program is part of the Account Lockout and Management Tools program package for
Windows 2000, 2003, and XP.
