IMHO, the best registry cleaner is Argente Registry Cleaner. Supports 64-bits and there's a portable version. I'll probably add it to the database next month. www.argentesoftware.blogspot.com/

I totally second lautrepay's opinion about Argente Registry Cleaner.
Happy holidays everybody!

Site is back up...

Thanks for that, Ruby, but I had already gotten it from the guy who posted that video. It might be of help to others. Anyway, grateful for the consideration... :)

2020-11-12: Still the best byte for byte option, super powerful, insanely fast, 32bit program with "64bit mode" toggle for WOW64. Untouchable, it out performs programs 5x its size

RegFromApp monitors the Registry changes made by the application that you selected, and creates a standard RegEdit registration file (.REG) that contains all the Registry changes made by the application. You can use the generated .REG file to import these changes with RegEdit when needed.

@Magibon

I find that RegFromApp will only capture reg writes if the app your monitoring is actually doing the writing.

Let's say your monitoring an app/installer that creates a 'Working directory' e.g. %temp%/MonitoredApp and dumps some files that now write to the registry, these writes do not get captured because the monitored app is not doing the writing.

How I find RegFromApp useful:

1. In concert with Regshot: RegFromApp will only capture writes from the program not the system.

2. Capture and Export: I use Chromium web browser and pass args on the command line to keep all files in the app directory e.g. --user-data-dir=.\
The only problem is that when I "Make Chromium my Default Browser" it doesn't transfer the command line to the registry.

By starting Chromium from/within RegFromApp as an admin I can capture these reg entries and export for editing (search and replace) with a text editor and add the command line and merge back into the registry.

This program doesn't work anymore. When launching any app through it, both the 32 and 64-bit versions just display "Failed to start with the new selected process. Error code: 299
Only part of a ReadProcessMemory or WriteProcessMemory request was completed."

Does not work, tested Oct 2020.

Regshot2 Unicode v2.0.1.70

Midas on 10 Feb 2021
  • 612KB (uncompressed)
  • Released on
  • Suggested by Lupo73

Regshot2 Unicode is a registry change and file system change detection diff tool that takes snapshots, generates HTML reports, and creates automatic REG undo/redo scripts. The program can save/load snapshots to file for later use, while registry path and file path inclusion/exclusion rules can be set to include/exclude paths in the snapshots.

The program includes two components:

  • Registry Shot - It will automatically generate UNDO.REG and REDO.reg registry scripts based upon the difference between two snapshots taken at two points in time.
  • File Shot - will catch file changes based on either timestamp, size, or CRC32/MD5 and report these changes in an HTML file

Note: Regshot2 Unicode is not an update to Regshot, but a unique program. Although it shares a similar interface, it is a code fork by a different author and has many more features.

Category:
Runs on:Win2K / WinXP / Vista / Win7 / Win8

Unicode support: Yes
License: Freeware
How to extract: Download the ZIP package and extract to a folder of your choice. Launch Regshot.exe.

NOTE: if the program loads in Russian, close the program and open "regshot.ini" in a text editor. Make sure the first two lines read:

[Settings]
Language=English
Similar/alternative apps: Regshot
What's new?
  • Updated the Regshot.ini files in all folders
  • RegShot[2] will now start in English by default
  • RegShot[2] Will now save the changes in INF and REG format by default

Application is crashing while scanning whole c: drive is turned on. Add "C:\Windows\servicing\LCU" folder into Excluded object list to workaround this issue.
