Is there freeware similar to PC Magazine InCtrl5 for tracking new files on
WinXP?

Actually I didn't hit upon those steps so I agree, once known, it isn't
hard.

I guess the drawback, compared to the other suggested program, is that the
ZSoft Uninstaller has to be kept running all the time between the two
events that we wish to track file and registry changes.

The Total Uninstall program can be shut down between events and
conceivably, even works across reboots and other long-time events to track
file system changes.

Yes, I know both programs are really intended as uninstallation insurance
policies and not as file-system change trackers but my needs lean me a bit
closer toward Total than ZSoft. YMMV. :)

Thanks for the freeware WinXP file system & registry changes trackers!

In summary, if I understand you correctly, InCtrl5, which is not freeware,
can be replaced with any of the following freeware:

* Total Uninstall version 2.35 (last freeware version)
http://www.aplusfreeware.com/categories/util/uninst.html

* ZSoft Uninstaller version 2.4.1 (freeware)
http://www.zsoft.dk/index.php?goto=software_details&prog_id=4

* Immunet Protect version 1.0.10 (freeware but more antivirus than tracker)
http://www.immunet.com/protect

I read the features of all three and downloaded all three, but I think I'll
use either Total Uninstall or ZSoft Uninstaller rather than Immunet Protect
which seems too far off the mark of a file-system & registry changes
tracker.

The author of the program asks you to. It's in the link. Did
you read it ?
Help promote freeware. No beta testers, no new releases. I'm
testing it, no misshaps so far. WinXP SP3.
