There are a couple of tools built especially for comparing before and after snapshots, but I find the simplest way is to use .fred's registry editor to export the registry before and after, copy the files to my PC, then use windiff (EDIT: WinMerge). For massive registry changes, you need something to put the two dumps in the same order (dumps are in modification order, not in alphabetic order). Tools to do that exist too.
