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?
TrackWinstall?
I used to use Total Uninstall:
It tracks everything you mentioned and you can also see what where the changes.
Microsoft's Attack Surface Analyzer (for Windows Vista and beyond)

Alternately, Sandboxie. Everything installer touches will end up being in the sandbox.
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.

Call me a square, but Process Monitor still does it for me.
Works perfectly fine on XP despite the suggestion it may actually not.
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.
