Using RegFromApp

RegFromApp doesn't require any installation process or additional dll files. In order to start using it, simply run the executable file - RegFromApp.exe
After running it, select the process that you want to inspect, and click Ok. After clicking Ok, each time that the selected process writes a value into the Registry, the main window of RegFromApp will display the written value in Windows .reg file format. You can copy & paste the desired values to another Registry file, or alternatively, you can save the entire Registry changes into a .reg file by using the 'Save As' option.

Using RegFromApp In Windows Vista

RegFromApp can work in Vista even when UAC (User Account Control) is turned on, as long as the process that you wish to inspect run in the same account and security context of RegFromApp. However, if you want to inspect a process that runs under administrator account, you must also run RegFromApp as administrator. (right-click on RegFromApp.exe and choose 'Run As Administrator')

RegFromApp Display Modes

Starting from version 1.10, RegFromApp can work in 2 display modes:
  • Show Last Modified Values (The default mode): In this mode, RegFromApp displays the last Registry changes made by the selected process.
  • Show Original Values: In this mode, RegFromApp displays the original Registry values, as they were before the changes made by the selected process.

Command-Line Options

/AttachProcess <Process ID or .exe Filename> Attach the existing process. You can specify a process ID or process filename.
/RunProcess <exe filename> Run the specified process
/ProcessParams <parameters> Specify parameters for the process that you run with /RunProcess.
/StartImmediately <0 | 1> Specify the "Start Immediately" value (0 or 1).
/RegFileVersion <4 | 5> Specify the .Reg file version (4 or 5)
/AddOnlyModifiedValues <0 | 1> Specify the value for "Add Only Modified Values" (0 or 1)
/AutoSave <.reg filename - modified> <.reg filename - original> When you specify this option, RegFromApp automatically save the data to .reg files and exit when the process that you inspect is terminated.

Examples:
RegFromApp.exe /RunProcess "f:\temp\myprocess.exe" /AutoSave "f:\temp\reg_modified.reg" "f:\temp\reg_original.reg"
RegFromApp.exe /AttachProcess "f:\temp\myprocess.exe"
RegFromApp.exe /AttachProcess 1528
