Regshot v1.9.0
Midas on 28 May 2017 Change history
- 129KB (uncompressed)
- Released on 2 Feb 2013
- Suggested by Crash
Regshot is a small registry compare utility that allows you to take a snapshot of your registry make changes to your system (such as installing a program) and then taking a second snapshot to compare. The comparison report can be produced in text or HTML format and contains a list of all modifications that have taken place between the first and second snapshot. In addition, you can also specify folders (with subfolders) to be scanned for changes as well.
Alternatively, RegShot Portable automatically switches between 32 and 64-bit and adjusts paths.

robertcollier4 - The Regshot2 you are posting about is a different app. It's either a totally different freeware app that copied the layout or an app illegally using the real Regshot's code as a base and not distributing the newer source as required by the GPL. Either way, this entry is about the real Regshot, which is open source, Unicode, portable and has 32-bit and 64-bit versions (the PortableApps.com version even switches between them automatically). It's also under active development unlike 'RegShot2' which is abandoned. |

I am also interested in a simple alternative program.

To previous commenters: if you take a snapshot of the entire PC (every file, all registry keys, etc), and then, many days later, you want a report of everything that changed, then naturally temporary files must be created to persistently track the changes from the original snapshot. This app is not meant to be "ultra-small-USB-stick" portable. Not sure what kind of alternative would be possible. Also, if you want to see all changes, and there were 90,000+ new reg keys, it's not the fault of WhatChanged that there is so much output (Richard is right about this). You can choose to view the output in whatever program you want (and Firefox is not a giant text database viewer).

I ran 3 other major cleaner programs here on the site (Bleechbit, CCleaner, and PureRA) and this program still found more to delete. If you're using an public computer, this seems to be THE program to run before you leave. |

Used this program to successfully extract keys from an older backup of the Registry hive files. Followed an online guide which recommended it since it automatically tweaks the exported key file with the correct path for importing into the registry.

http://www.registrytweaker.net/ --> domain for sale. The website and download links should be changed to Lupo as above. Softpedia has the same build on their site (http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/Registry-Tweak/Registry-Tweaker.shtml) but I'm not sure if Lupo's is different.

lwc on 2 Apr 2023 Change history
- 157KB (uncompressed)

NTREGOPT (NT registry optimize) helps to compact the Windows registry by recreating each registry hive "from scratch", thus removing any slack space that may be left from previously modified or deleted keys.
Note: The program does NOT change the contents of the registry in any way, nor does it physically defrag the registry files on the drive.
