I highly recommend "regmon" from SysInternals (www.sysinternals.com). Their other utilities are fantastic, too. I can't imagine troubleshooting windows without them.
As far as tracking the exact changes in the registry, I seem to remember that there is tool somewhere in windows itself or in the resource kit that does this. It's designed for making .reg files, used to patch the registry. Also, all the automatic installer tools (like "wise" and "installshield") have features like this. Regmon is only for monitoring and logging all access to the registry, but it has very good filtering tools. If you're just trying to get an idea of what is happening, it's really the best place to start. My two cents...
