Identification of registry and file system changes

Question

Is there a coding way in C ++ to find out what changes have occurred in the registry and file system. I need to find the changes that occurred with the file system and registry after installing the software.

C # has a file system to identify file system changes. However, I need to implement this in C ++ for the registry and files.

Answer 1

You can use to control registry keys RegNotifyChangeKeyValue(), see here . For the files you would use ReadDirectoryChangesW(), see here .
