Monitor Changes In The Windows 7 Registry
Windows 7, like Vista, does not have an in-built Registry monitoring tool. But what you can do is, harness the command-line program fc.exe to compare two registry export files.
To use this program, first, export a .reg file, & name it as say rega.
After the change takes place export the changed .reg file & name it as say, regb.
Now, open a command prompt and type:
fc /u rega.reg regb.reg > regcompare.txt
Since .reg files use unicode, the /u switch, tells fc.exe to use Unicode.
You can now inspect the output regcompare in Notepad.
You can also try this 3rd party utility whatchanged to monitor the changes in your Windows 7 / Vista registry, easily.
Simply download this portable app whatchanged and run it before and after the change. There are some more freeware tools here from its publisher.
