I'm not saying this WON'T work, but I don't think you'll 
find SCANREG in your Win95 CAB files.  It seems to 
have first appeared in Win98.  You might be able to 
take the SCANREG.EXE file from a Win98 or WinME 
and run it on Win95, but if the structure for storing 
incremental backup registry versions wasn't in place 
before your system crashed, there's only going to be 
the one registry backup Win95 makes by default -- the 
two files 
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM.DA0
C:\WINDOWS\USER.DA0

You can rename these in DOS to
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM.DAT
C:\WINDOWS\USER.DAT

All these registry files have the "r-a-s-h" attributes set,
so you'll need to deal with that before you start 
renaming things.
