Geez Bob, such settings differ way too much from system to system. To do
it though, click on the "Options" button, then the "Scanner" tab. For
instance, I told it to ignore the Kerio log. However, you really *do*
want to know about all .dll file changes. At least I do.

Just think about files that change in the normal course of operational
events and which don't need to be restored to their previous condition.

Don't try to use System Restore and then run Total Uninstall to remove a
program. If you do, TU will lock up for obvious reasons.

Also remember that when you uninstall a program using TU, be sure to
press the "Expand all" button on the page that lists the changes
installing a program made. When you do this, you can go down the list
and "uncheck" items that you know don't need to be reverted back, or
which may cause problems if TU tries to do so. This is a lot easier than
it sounds, believe me.

HTH.
