Track registry changes with RegFromApp

by Brad Linder Jun 14th 2008

Ever wonder what changes an application is making to your Windows registry? RegFromApp is a simple utility that lets you pick a process and track any registry changes it initiates.

All you have to do is download and unzip the tiny application (just over 50KB unzipped), click the executable file and select a process to track. In other words, you don't need to install RegFromApp, and obviously it makes no chances to your registry.

You can also save any registry changes to a .Reg file which you can use to replicate (or possibly undo) the registry changes.

You probably want to pick up Process Monitor from SysInternals instead. Does much more.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
