• Synopsis: MJ Registry Watcher is a system tray program that monitors and alerts you to changes to any registry keys files or folders. The default set of keys and files should ensure that nothing gets run at startup without your knowledge and important boot up files don''t get changed behind your back, but you can configure it to suit your own needs. The program can also keep a full history of alerts in a log file.
