Any tools to monitor the changes made by an application?

Question

I want to monitor the changes made by my installer, and I found the processmonitor is useful, But it just get too many information, and really hard to retrieve what I need. Is there any better solution on monitoring ? Like what folder, file, registry the application created ?

Thanks !

Answer 1

did you try filtering un-necessary information? Filters in processmon are very good and correctly prints only what you need.

Answer 2

If you are looking for professional application, there was one I used to use: Norton Cleansweep.

Its no longer developed by Norton, but should not be hard to find if you want to grab one copy.

Answer 3

我经常使用InCtrl 5（虽然年代久远但很有用）。
