Registry Tracker?

Hi to all.

Is there any utility that can be used to scan the system registry before and after installing a program, and provide a complete list of changes?

I have system mechanic and reg cleaner, but these seem to miss alot of entries.

I've used InCtrl5 a few times. I quite like it.

Try InstallWatch Pro. It records not only Registry changes, but also new files / INI entries etc. I have never tried it because I have a full version of a German tool called WinCon which does the job for me, but InstallWatch is said to be quite good.

I've found a great program called Total Uninstall, and it monitors changes in the registry + modification/creation of files and folders. It takes a snapshot before installation and one afterwards, so you can totally remove the app, nothing gets left behind.
The author's site seems to be down the moment I am writing this, so here's a link from Webattack: http://www.webattack.com/get/totaluninstall.shtml
