The Change Analysis Diagnostic Tool simplifies the identification of recent changes to computers running Windows XP.
The diagnostic checks for recent changes to the following:
 
    • Operating system components, such as patches, that are installed as hotfixes or downloads from Windows Update.
    • Installed application entries listed in the Add or Remove Programs control panel.
    • All kernel mode device and file system drivers.
    • Browser helper objects loaded by Internet Explorer.
    • ActiveX controls loaded by Internet Explorer.
    • Programs loaded automatically during Windows XP startup.
    • Programs and Dynamic Link Libraries (DLLs) loaded when an application starts.

    Any idea if there is a way to get this to show relevant registry entries?  We were really excited about this at work, it’s just what I’ve been looking for and what I need, until I found how little info it still gives you…  However, not much point if it only shows you part of what happened.
