Didn't find a thread with a quick search. I used to have a utility that did this, the process would be run the utility, do the install, run the utility again for uninstalling/see what changes the installer made. I'm seeing lots of remover/cleanup tools but they all seem to be appliance/black box type utilities where as I want to see what changes were made, anyone know a utility that does this?

I used to use Total Uninstall:

It tracks everything you mentioned and you can also see what where the changes.

PC Magazine (USA version) used to have a utility their staff programmers developed themselves, back in the day. Can't remember the name, I may track it down later. It worked well, I last used it in 2003 sometime.

[EDIT] It's called InCtrl 5.

Back in the Win95 days I used Quarterdeck CleanSweep which sounds very similar. (run the scan before and after)
It became Symantec Cleansweep few years later.
