einstonium Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 Yes i was wondering if there is a tool or a way to determine what files are being installed to my computer including registery keys when installing programsI know some programs offer an Install.log file but even so it doesn't necessarily list all the files being installed "hidden files" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scuzzman Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 Not that I know of. You can get certain utilities to moniter changes to your registry, and a program will usually install all its needed DLL's in C:\Program Files\PROGNAMEbut apart from that, I dont think so. Unless someone knows how to access an NTFS journal, then you can moniter ALL filesystem changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark2 Posted December 22, 2004 Report Share Posted December 22, 2004 Inctrl5 (was developed I think for one of the PC magazines) will do what you want, however you'll need some serious googling to find a download of it....Total Uninstall is available as freewarecreate a snapshot of your system before it installs the new software and an additional snapshot after install completes. it then compares the two snapshots and displays all changes n a nice, graphical tree view, marking all values and/or files that have been added or changed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
