Default walign tool

Hi Jeff,
I ran it and it went fast according to my log file, ~1s. This is pretty
quick for any program. I checked the MS KB site and it says that for win98
and its 2nd ed. there are two similiar programs, walign and winalign. I
check the registry location and this was not the same as in the KB article,
which focused on winalign as if the are interchangeable.

I ran sfc and found only 2 files that needed updating; HwlndoD.vxd and
MSISYS.vxd.

I have been using FireFox 2.0 and the registry location is in explorer
folder down under. Does this maintaince program work with that shell?

A debugger can reveal the load points for the EXE file sections.
Otherwise, I guess you could note whether or not there was the appropriate
performance improvement. Or, make a copy of the originals and compare

that
copy to the files after Walign is run (or let SFC do it for you). That

will
at least tell you that the update was done, even if it doesn't indicate
whether or not it was done correctly.

How do I determine if this tool is working correctly?
