Hi, all........ I'm wondering if there's any way to monitor whatever changes happens in Windows Registry. I'd like to develop a simple application which monitors registry changes using Visual Basic 2005. Can anyone tell me how to do it? Thanx in advance.

If you need it in your own code: this is a class for .NET that monitors the registry. 

I have been writing my own right now, but when I searched for "RegNotifyChangeKeyValue" (which does the monitoring) the third result entry was a link to the class that I linked above... No need to reinvent the wheel again!

I already downloaded source code for the class and read the sample code. There's this line: "objMonitor.RegChanged += New EventHandler........" But why can't the Intellisense display the RegChanged event in my application? I opened the RegistryUtils class and looked at the RegChanged Event. It was declared as Protected and I changed it to Public declaration. But things just went the same, I still can't display the RegChanged event when I hit Ctrl+Space after the object name. What did I do wrong?

Is the delegate for the event still protected or private?
