PRIMO is short for PRogram Installation MOnitor. It is a registry and folder/file compare utility that allows you to quickly take a snapshot of your system and then compare it with a second one, done after doing system changes or installing a new software product.
The changes report can be produced in TEXT or HTML format and contains a list of all modifications that have taken place between snapshot1 and snapshot2.
The system contains several programs:
1 - Primo, which is used to monitor changes.
2 - Chkunin, which is used to check for left-over registy entries and files/folders if you un-install a system.
It also produces a .REG file to delete registry entries, and a .BAT files to delete folders and files.
3 - A .VBS file called "Not Monitored List.vbs" and a batch file called "Create_Not_Monitored_list.bat" that are used to create a list of folders and files on the drive you want to monitor in a file called "not_monitored_list.txt".
You can edit this file and change it if you need to.
