What is Advanced Registry Tracer ?
----------------------------------

Advanced Registry Tracer (ART; formely RegFix) is an utility
designed for analysing the changes made to Windows Registry - by
making the "snapshots" of it and keeping them in the browsable
database. You can compare any two snapshots and get the list of
keys/data which are new, deleted or just changed. Moreover, you
can create undo/redo files (for example,to rollback the
changes). Very useful for detecting trojan viruses and
elimination some problems caused by software and hardware
install/uninstall.

Unlike Registry monitoring software (such as RegMon and
Win-Expose Registry), and most uninstallers (CleenSweep,
Uninstall, etc.), ART compares full copies of the Registry made
at different times, while the software mantioned above just
monitors all accesses to the Registry in real time. So, our
method allows to track all the changes, and doesn't affect the
system performance.

ART deals only with the root Registry keys: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
and HKEY_USERS, since the key HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG is a copy of 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Config\000x; HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT is a copy of 
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes; HKEY_CURRENT_USER is a part
of HKEY_USERS; and HKEY_DYN_DATA is (normally) used by the
system only and is of no interest to a user.
