## Overview

IDM Reset Tool is a Windows Forms utility for resetting Internet Download Manager trial-related state. The documented flow is launch the app, run as administrator, and click Reset; the sampled handler checks privileges, stops IDM processes, edits registry state, and reports success or logs failure. Registry operations are combined in Reseter.cs; the excerpts omit some method bodies, so only evidenced calls are mapped.

Main entry points: [`Form1.cs`](https://github.com/rinrinx2/idm-reset-tool/blob/master/Form1.cs) (Reset form), [`SystemTweak.cs`](https://github.com/rinrinx2/idm-reset-tool/blob/master/SystemTweak.cs) (System checks), [`Reseter.cs`](https://github.com/rinrinx2/idm-reset-tool/blob/master/Reseter.cs) (Registry reset), [`Program.cs`](https://github.com/rinrinx2/idm-reset-tool/blob/master/Program.cs) (App startup)
