RegSpy vs Who Else?

[Dobermann]

I am looking for a good registry monitor. RegSpy was highly suggested in Win XP Hacks book by O'Reilly that I have. It was printed August 2003. Knowing how things change, I was hoping that some folks might know if this is still one of the better programs or if not, which ones are.

These are the key features/benefits I am looking for:

1. The ability to easily see each and every change made by each software installation. This means being able to manually remove it and put it back the way it was before the install.

2. The ability to selectively use it to undo selective items.

3. The ability to undo changes on a program by program basis, so that when you roll back the registry, you roll back only those changes made by that one program and not by others.

Any other suggetions on a program?

Cheers,
Dobermann
