is there a way to see what a program is writing to the registry?

[lionfaggot 2]

i know this should be possible, i'd heard people using "hook" APIs in other languages that can basically follow a programs actions in the registry.

i just want to zoom in on an application and see what its writing and doing in general, should be simple enough

I would stick to already existing tools like Sysinternals "ProcessMonitor" if it's just a one-time task:

naw i want to become familiar with this for later use, it seems useful in general
