Monitor & Export Registry Changes Made By A Process Using RegFromApp Windows Registry is an operating system database that stores the configuration settings in Windows. It contains settings for operating system components, as well as information about hardware. In fact, every application you install on your PC, gets registered in the registry. Just like you’d keep a written record of your finances on a physical register, Windows registry works pretty much the same. One thing that is common among all NirSoft tools is their simple and minimalistic design, and the statement holds true for this application as well. Once a process is selected, any changes made by it to the registry are noted in RegFromApp’s window. RegFromApp, despite being its schematic design is both powerful and feature-rich, much like to NirSoft’s other tools. Download RegFromApp Advertisement

To download the file, click on Download Share to start the download process. Share works on both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.

If the file contains sensitive information, that can create a lot of trouble for you.
