Preface: I was really bored yesterday....

...so I decided to rewrite the profiles tool to use the new
regfio code (from the printmig.exe work).   In the process I
ran into a few sk_record bugs and cleaned them up.  So
the new profiles tool works and can replace arbitrary
SIDs in ACLs on registry keys.

The interesting thing was how easy this was.  If anyone is
interested, it would be really easy to create a sed-like tool
for registry files :-)  Not sure what this would be useful
for but like I said I was bored.

So Maybe one day you will get bored too and decide that
you need a way to to bulk updates on keynames, or values,
or merge 2 registry files, or whatever.....

I feel weird 'cause this was slightly fun.





cheers, jerry
