Find  a free registry monitoring tool that sees dynamic registry changes.
It should be able to see the changes in real time. It should show
which keys a registry altering program is accessing, and the Registry
data that they are accessing.

Hi grthumongous-ga,

The Regmon program meets these requirements.  It is available from:

http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/regmon.shtml

I tried it with Windows XP and it worked fine.

I checked for other similar programs, but did not find anything.  A
search for "Windows registry monitor" led me to six pages of Registry
tools at

http://www.pchardware.ro/Download/index.php?catid=11

From a scan of these pages, it appears that comparing two snapshots is
a more common technique than monitoring changes as they occur, and
most of the available programs are shareware, not free.  So I didn't
find anything better than Regmon.


Search Strategy

As you know, I found this program in response to your previous question

An answer to a similar question on the Experts Exchange web site led me to Regmon.

http://www.experts-exchange.com/Operating_Systems/Q_20634257.html

I haven't retained the details of how I found that page, but I
suspected from my knowledge of Windows that the audio volume setting
was stored in the Windows Registry, so I was looking for information
about the Registry and audio volume specifically.


Thanks for notifying me that you would be posting this question.  I
hope this information is helpful.
