Program to flag what changed in the REG of a PC

colinuk · 17 Apr 2007 at 15:32

Not sure this is the write spot to ask this, but it looked right.

I am after something that will tell me what KEYS in the REG of a PC have changed when i alter a setting so i can find that key and use it in a batch file on other PC's instead of having to do each one by hand...

Ive had a look in google, no luck.

any ideas?

Was just going to say you need a program called "Regmon" is very good and free, is made by SysInternals, but they are now owned by MS.

Make sure you make use of the filters though as just clicking with the mouse can generate hundreds of reg entries.

Cheers - got regmon now, not sure its what i wanted as its listing LOADS of reg things, if i change something like folder options, it doesnt list it, very odd..

off to get some reading on it, ty all for the info

I have also used a program called RegShot, another freebie, and what you do is create a snapshot, install whatever software/program you need, then do another snapshot.

You can then compare them to find the changes made.

I've used this process to create various .reg files for silent use in logon scripts to update things like dns/wins servers on user's PCs
