Registry Cleaners / Fixers # 1

by aj-rube May 17, 2008 9:34AM PDT

Is there a program that will tell me who an "Entry" in my Registry belongs to, what program put it there?

Some I can tell, but a ton of others I can not.

Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you, AJ-Rube

So far the registry has not revealed such detail. Yes it would be nice to know but we can reverse engineer such. How? Go look up REGMON. Now that you have armed the machine with this (I suggest FILEMON too) then install your application.

Bingo. You now have a log of what that app installed in the registry.
