Monitor Registry

Is it possible to monitor any changes in the registry and have the notification of change state the program which made or is making the change?

Regmon.exe will handle this with no problem, you can download it from the following site:

I forgot to mention when you first start the program, by default it registers reads, and writes of the registry making it hard to understand. You can change this by editing the filters and unchecking the "log reads" check box. This will make it easier to find out what programs are making changes to your registry.

As for your second question, you can try to determine which window is active when changes were make.
BTW, about Network notification - why you deleted this question so fast? Did you find solution? It's interesting question, but now I don't know, if it's possible. If changing files, their location etc - no problem, but just browsing... donno.

>> ' you can create an array of events and use WaitForMultipleObjects API to monitor many keys

Greetings ARK,

Thanks for posting the above method. I've to monitor 50+ keys at the same time. Is it possible to use the WaitForMultipleObjects for this scenario? Let me post a new question

Ark

As far as I know there is no restriction on the number of creating events - you can create and monitor 1000+ if you need.
