It is incredibly dynamic, often hundreds of changes been made every second. Move your mouse, click a file, and you'll generate hundreds of events...more reading than writing though. Just run regmon from www.sysinternals.com for a few minutes. It will tell you all you need to know. Roger ***************************************************************** *Roger A.

Exactly how dynamic is the Windows Registry? Specifically, if you were somehow able to monitor in real-time the changes made to the registry of a system on your network (HW/SW installation, Processes running, websites visited, etc.) would you be able to thwart an attack by that system (user), or would it be too little information, too late? Thanks for your help.
