http://p-nand-q.com/download/regdiff.html Take a snapshot before and after installing Python. However, this is not a wise approach. For example: 1. One can have a system drive 'C:\' others 'G:\' 2. One can have Windows installed in \Windows others in \WinNT and others in \MyWinNT 3. For many registry values, you cannot really tell if you need to correct a value or not. As a result, I believe you will only be able to use the 'regdiff' only on the same type of computer, with the same system drive, same system directory, same windows version etc. For other computers, there is no guarantee for that it will work.
