Software for analyzing changes both registry and file 3

[electronicsfreak]

I am looking for software, free or not, though I prefer free, that will compare changes in a system. Example, say I run it today, it will make a logfile of sorts or something of the nature of exactly how the system is right then. Now say I run it a week from now after installing some programs. Then it shows me all the changes that have been made. Files, Registry, etc..

If you can give me a list of a few things I would be very grateful. Thanks

Think I just found one. Will be testing it out in a bit. Still open to other suggestions as well. This is what I found.

This program has been around for years and I have often used it myself in the past.

Thanks! I will give that one a try as well.

I've used TotalUninstall with success in the past when it was freeware.

And along the same lines of checking for changed files but in the goal of making a portable app...

Thanks! Added both of those to my favorites to look into more later. So far Track Winstall seems to be doing exactly what I wanted. Got lucky on a search and found that. The others I have uses for as well, just had not went looking for those yet.

I don't believe Reg Shot monitors file changes. For that, you may want to try:

What Changed v 1.07

SystemSherlock Lite v1.00

FYI - SystemSherlock isn't being updated anymore and may not work correctly in Vista or Win7

The first one you mentioned looks exactly like what I was talking about. Will test that one definitely next to the one I found. Thanks!
