I'm looking for the easiest method to track (& possibly undo) changes in Windows registry made specifically by software installers.
Find & list registry changes made by XYZ software (reg entry: creation, deletion, changes)
I've used Sysinternals Process Monitor a good while. But I'm not sure of the best way to use it (exact filters to set, etc.) to monitor ONLY recent changes, made by a single software installer. Then if I decide to uninstall it, possibly delete reg changes made by the installer.
Even some "portable" software may make registry changes. Most times they're harmless - sometimes not.
There may be other freeware with an excellent reputation, that's better at this one task than Proc Mon.
