Tracking Windows Registry activity

[GaryG]

I'm playing with making a 'portable studio' stick that i can just plug into any Windows machine available. Currently have Reaper portable, working lovely, and now investigating plugins.

So, looking at plugs with either no or easy (license file) authorisation that don't use the registry. At work I've used Promon but it's a bit of a pain at times, wondering if anyone has other workflows/tools for this kind of thing, monitoring the registry for writes/accesses etc I may have overlooked.

Thanks.

DuckDuckGo (not Google) is your friend: windows "process monitor" registry

Thanks, i did mention I used promon already so know what I need generally, just asking for personal recommendations, maybe tools people have found useful specifically in thus scenario.

Process Monitor (and its sibling Process Explorer for other related tasks) here.

Tone2's Nanohost can run from a USB jumpdrive.

You mentioned "promon" indeed, but it was not clear to me whether you meant the monitor from Microsoft themselves or a product from another vendor.
