About RegFromApp

RegFromApp attaches to a running process, or starts a new one, and records every value it writes to the Windows Registry. The changes appear in RegEdit .reg format, so you can copy them or save them as a file to import later with RegEdit.

A second display mode shows the original values from before the changes. Command-line options can attach to a process, run a program and automatically save modified and original values to .reg files when it exits. It suits administrators capturing application settings and developers checking what a program writes.

Strengths

  • Produces ready-to-import .reg files from a program's Registry writes
  • Can show original values from before the changes
  • Command-line options for automated capture

Limitations

  • Official requirements list Windows versions up to Windows 10
  • Separate 32-bit and 64-bit builds must match the program being traced
  • Tracing administrator processes requires running it as administrator
