Skilled people needed for help building information

[TheTeenScripter]

Hi. My name is Jonathan. Please don't mind my username I would like to change it but I can't find how.

I need help building basically a database of information that would take me too long to find by myself. I would like the information to be stored either here or on a website i can have hosted, specifically designed for the purpose.

I am going to recreate a better version of HiJackThis that will include the capabilities of backing up and restoring Windows activation, the product key, and drivers. It will include all features that HiJackThis currently provides, but I want it to be more informative and easy to use. I would gladly accept any additional features or scan points to look in.

What would be most helpful at this time would be any known areas of the system registry that are prone to being potentially used for unwanted purposes. I will also need a list of group policy object registry locations, and what they do. I want other backup and restore functions in this program to be able to backup personal user settings and personal files based on location.

One of the final things I am going to need are command-prompt printouts of Windows system files with the size information showing, and the Windows version and service pack included. To make this file, open command prompt and type in the following lines followed by enter each time:

cd\
cd windows
dir /s>C:\dirinfo.txt

(It will take a bit to complete. You can change the file output location, but copying and pasting afterwards should be faster. You will have to include Windows version info, type winver afterwards to get this. If your Windows directory is different, then change the line accordingly)

I would like to thank you in advance for *any* help you can provide

Wouldn't storing people's product keys be contrary to Microsoft's agreements?

I'm not storing product keys, I'm re-creating a better version of HiJackThis with extra features. With this program one of the features will be the ability to extract the product key from an existing installation, useful in-case of a lost product key. Technically every product key represents on or more licenses for Windows. As long as you are using your own legal license there are no legal problems. I already have the source code required for doing this.


What I need most are sets of registry locations like the following:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\SpecialAccounts
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Shell
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\services
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar


I need all information required for manually editing the registry settings involved with a regular HiJackThis scan, and any other information that anybody would think would be helpful as a "scan-spot". I would also like to check for incorrect system file-sizes, but right now it seems unlikely to get that kind of data. Most of this information I already know of from years of fixing computers but I would like to expand my knowledge and post it on the internet so others could learn as-well.

I do not want anybody to post any information here that could be used for illegal purposes. I just want a few people that know Windows and the registry and wouldn't mind taking some time to help contribute some research here for everyone to benefit from.

Well actually you can see your microsoft product keys with magically jelly bean, and make a manual back up of them.

actually i already have the source code that I helped make for both a c++ and a javascript version of a working decoder. all i need is basic o/s info...
