Hello out there! Just looking for Feedback-- before I install what appears to be a good, but potentially dangerous Freeware Program. Has anyone experienced any problems?

I'm not familiar with that prog, but don't mess with the registry unless you first backup your present config. Registry altering programs are sometimes like giving a baby a loaded gun.

Yes it's fine, it's a monitor that shows what is happening to your registry as the system is running and is not dangerous in it's own right.
It does however also allow you to find the appropriate registry keys in regedit by double clicking entries, so Grasshoppers warning is clearly applicable if you are not at home with the registry and start dabbling.

If you don't like it you can simply trash it. It is a standalone program at less than 175kb unzipped. No install, so right to the trash can if it is of no use to you.
Filemon at the same site is pretty good too, if you like those sort of utilities as I do.

I've been using this and other of their programs for years. They are excellent programs and cause no problems that I've come across.
