For that program that stops working after 30 days..

For that program that stops working after 30 days, and it worked so good, that you want to keep it, but not buy it. I have a solution. I don't think the people who made the software would be too happy, but I know you will. Okay, here's the deal. There are programs out there which do so many good things to your system (speed it up and that sort of stuff). But these programs dont last forever, you'll have to either register and pay for it (shareware), or it will automatically remove all the changes it made. To know the changes it made (in your registry) do this. Click start, run, type in regedit. When the registry window open, click the first HKEY folder, then on the top click Registry, then Export Registry File. Save it as Before1. Do this to all the HKEY folders, but name them Before2, Before3, and so on. Then install the program, do the same again, but this time, name the files After1, After2, After3... Keep the folder (or desktop) where you saved the registry files open when you do this. Click start, run, type in command. MS-DOS will open up, and the directory should be where the .reg files you saved are. In ms-dos type "fc before1.reg after2.reg > changes.txt" (without the quotes). then hit enter. This will then create a .txt file (notepad) with all the changes made before and after. Simple. I think you know how to do the rest.. Well, I hope that makes some of you happy..

**CAUTION**
Don't do this if you aren't sure what you are doing!
Well, good luck :)

God almighty Evil Ajax Cleaner,

That's a good way but I have a better one. Just goto the one of a 1000 crack sites and download the no-nag or serial crack for the program. I have not come across one program that does not have a way of eliminating the trial expire. In fact, In most cases ,these cracks make the software registered so if you need to download periodic updates you can.

No go, and SIN no more.
P.S. I do not advocate using illegal software but, I , Like GOD, give people the freedom to choose.
Not to Be is Best.

Also, can't u just export the entire registry in one shot and then compare them? Instead of doing each HKey separately?

if you used inctl5 when you installed the program it shows you all the changes done to your system at that time
