 calm_observer: unlike regShot you use this application to see what registry keys an already installed application uses. as with all nirSoft application it is small and functional [2008-08-19 11:58]

 Gannon8: I could make a script that uses this to make any program portable. It would still write to the registry, but it would delete the entries reported by this program after use. [2008-09-08 16:49]

 J44xm: Yeah, I've been using a batch file for years now to do just that--load programs' settings to the Registry and delete them when they're closed. (It's at http://j44xm.notlong.com, if you're curious.) So this program looks very interesting to me. [2008-10-08 16:44]

 CnEY: Has anyone else had an issue getting this to do anything useful in Windows 7? Either it fails to start the process I tell it to, or if I hook it to one, it doesn't report any changes whatsoever. Tried running it as administrator. [2009-11-15 03:43]

 Granny: CnEY
same same here, can't make it run, you had any luck? [2010-02-06 10:18]

 MatsterB12: Once you select process to gather information, nothing displays. Tried several processes and all do not display any registry entries. Ran as Administrator, only have option to stop. [2010-05-23 03:45]

All HTML tags will be removed from your comment. URLs (http, https, ftp) will be automatically detected and hyperlinked. I reserve the right to delete irrelevant, frivolous or offensive comments. For more general topics (eg. whether apps that write to the registry, leave traces on the host machine, rely on certain versions of IE etc. can be considered portable), please post to the Portable Freeware Discussion forum. If your virus scanner has detected a virus in the application, please email the author directly or post to the forum. Note that false positives (i.e. flagging a virus when there is actually none) are extremely common for virus scanners. When in doubt, try an online scanner like Online Malware Scanner or VirusTotal, which scans files using multiple anti-virus engines. It is very likely to be a false positive if only a few engines raise the red flag.
