Hooking the registry?

[mike d]

I'm trying to hook the registry to see when anything tries to read, write, or delete any entries. Is this possible with Visual Basic and/or would it be easier with C++? Also, any examples if it is?

I don't know about in vb or c++, but you could download regmon (search on the internet) and see if you can call functions from the dll.

Do you just want to monitor a certian key/value? Or the whole registry?
