You can export the registry to a text file before the task is performed, then export it to another text file after the task is performed and compare the two files. There are free file comparison tools: here[^] you can find one of them. Also if you want to monitor the registry activity during the task, you can check the Sysinternals tools: this[^] one can be very useful for you. :)
