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

Advanced Registry Tracer (ART) is a utility designed to analyze changes made to Windows Registry.
When installing software, you can create a copy of Windows Registry by means of ART before the installation and another copy after the installation. Later you can compare the copies and see what changes the new software has made.

Besides, you can use ART to analyze changes occurred to the Registry upon installation of new hardware, to compare respective keys on different machines, as well as to find out which key changes upon change of system settings or of settings in a software you are interested with.
You can use ART to explore the Registry for the number and types of subkeys in any key.
ART can be used to search for data of certain types and with certain modification time.
NEW! ART now supports not only export to REG files, but also import, both in the old format and in the new one (Windows 2000, XP).
Now you can use ART to compare REG files and to get the results in a convenient and understandable format.

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.
