What is the program you are using to log all PC changes? Thanks!

when I install new software or update existing software. To prevent
contamination of the log from extraneous Internet activity, I download
the installer, disconnect from the Internet, start the logging, and then
install. Afterwards, I run the final phase of the logger and finally
reconnect to the Internet.
InCtrl5. I got it years ago from the PC Magazine Web site. It was
freeware, but I think it is now purchase-ware.
It was not easy to install and run. I finally had to set its properties
to run in compatibility mode for Windows XP SP3.
While intended to launch installer executables, I found that I had
instead to run it in its two-phase mode -- run InCtrl5 to collect
"before" status, let it terminate, execute the installer myself, and
then relaunch InCtrl5 to collect "after" status and generate a report.
I used to use InCtrl5 with Windows 98. I found a better application for
Windows XP. It was called Total Uninstall. Not only would it record
everything that happened during an installation, and would make a
human-readable copy if you requested it, but if you uninstalled that
item through it, it would reverse whatever happened during the installation.
