Name of a Program?

**Soulassassin** · 21st April 2005

A few years ago I had a bit of software that you ran before any software installation, then after the instalation it told you what had changed, such as registry changes and files added.
But I cant remember what it was called, does anybody have a prog like this or know what its called?

Im sure it had REG in the title :nowords:

most firewalls will do that for you

I have sygate on mine at it notifies me of any reg changes

maybe RegShot?

registry firewall tells you anytime something tries to alter the registry

You might find something that performs a similar function on SysInternals.

Theres Cleansweep which does what you describe. Think it's part of Norton System Works.

But have a look on Tucows and get sommat of there. Even sourceforge will have sommat if you sommat for nowt.

Look for a prog called Install Watch Pro 25 , it takes a snap shot of what the pc was like before you install and then and snap shot of what it is like afterwards . It then tells u the changes ... great prog...

Could have sworn I replied to this before, thanks all for the help, that install watch pro looks like a good prog and Im gonna try that.
Tried a prog called regwatch which seemed ok but a little sluggish..
Dont really want to put anything 'Norton' in cause it always seems to give me grief, that sysinternal site seems canny also. Lastly I cant find anything in my firewall to do this.
Thanks all and karma on its way....
