RegMon to RegFile Utility from Jon Galloway...

Jon Galloway - [Tool] RegmonToRegfile - Record and playback registry changes

"I just released a new tool on tools.veloc-it.com: RegmonToRegfile.

It's easier to explain what you can do with RegmonToRegfile than to explain what it is. RegmonToRegfile works with Regmon (a free tool from SysInternals) to record and playback the registry changes that another program or installation makes. For example, I used it to create the registry files for the IE7 Standalone launcher I've been distributing. I recorded the registry entries when I installed, ran, and uninstalled IE7 and saved the logs, then ran RegmonToRegfile to convert then to regfiles.

Regmon is an excellent tool that monitors what other programs do with the Windows registry. It saves everything that happens to a log file, but doesn't include the option to export to a registry (.reg) file. RegmonToRegfile reads Regmon logs and translates them into .reg files.

I can see where this could come in real handy... Nice work Jon.

The coolest part? He's released the C# 2 source under the BSD license... And he's also using the very cool FileHelpers assembly. Nice...

Great utility. Any plans to make a similar utility that would convert Process Monitor (.PML or .XML) files to .reg files?
