What is changing my registry?

Is it possible with C# to find out which program is changing certain keys in
the registry? I've already searched for "registry watchers" code examples or
downloads, but they seem to only take before & after snapshots of the
registry to show you what keys/values changed, and not "who" changed them.
Any suggestions?
 
Thanks for the tip.

It appears that iexplorer.exe itself is changing the start page when my
browser is opened and again when it is closed. I tried un- & reinstalling
iexplorer but that didn't fix the problem. I know this sounds like typical
browser hijacking, but frankly, I got a bit tired of reading about
hit-and-miss spyware removers and decided to look into the problem myself.
PestPatrol had a good free spyware scanner but I don't know why I should by
their (or anyone else's) product.

If I find out a better way to fix this problem (without having to take 30
steps and install 10 different spyware/antivirus programs), I'll probably
post it in the IE group.

I'm waiting for the spyware version that lets me deliver 15 pounds of
dead fish to the spyware author's bathtub.
