jv16 PowerTools 2008 - Registry Monitor

The Registry Monitor allows you to create snapshots of the current state of the registry and then later on compare it with the current status.

The comparison shows you all the changes that were made to the registry since you created the snapshot. This information can then be used for example to undo the changes.

The Registry Monitor's compare feature can detect the following registry changes.

• Removal of a registry key
• Removal of a registry entry
• Modification of a registry entry's value
• Creation of a new registry key
• Creation of a new registry entry

Taking a snapshot

Creating a snapshot is a very easy and straightforward process, and doesn't take a very long time. You can create either a full snapshot of the entire registry, or only a partial snapshot.

Comparison

After you have created at least one snapshot you can compare it to the current state of the registry to see the list of all the made changes. The comparison is a very complicated process but it shouldn't take more than a few minutes on a fast computer.

Notice that you can either list all the made changes or only the changes that match a search word or search words. This makes it very easy to detect the changes made by just-installed new software.

The Results

The tool lists the detected changes in a simple list form. You can easily undo changes by selecting them and clicking the Change back button.

Great, but what does it do for me?
You can easily undo unwanted registry changes, for example after installing a new program or a game. You'll see exactly what changes programs do to your system, and undo the modifications if you want.
