Is there any way to determine the date a particular registry key was
created in XP Pro? I'm trying to track down an unfamiliar HKLM\Software
entry that must have come along with another program I installed. If I can
find the date that key was created I can match it with the install date of
whichever program it was that put it there.

Try exporting the key in .txt format .. that'll show you the 'last
write' time, which I fear is all that is saved (it'll be the creation
time if the key has not been updated since then).

Excellent! Thank you.
 
Only manually saved files show creation/modification date. I mean when you're trying to make it from command line .txt file doesn't contain any date.
Is there a way to know creation/modification date automatically ?
