Not clear. What exactly you want to change in future and what exactly you want to track?
Can we have a clear picture of your requirement?

I need some kind of registry watcher which should keep checking for an registry value. Whenever particular registry value is created , corresponding callback method should be triggered.

Problem i have been facing here is , at the time of registry watcher creation , the particular key value will not be available and same will be created only in later point of time. So here i am unable to create registry watcher query without having the actual registry value in place.

Hello,

Read this article to help you reading the registry values:
> Registry.GetValue Method (String, String, Object) (Microsoft.Win32)[^]

You will have to create a windows service or a deamon (depending on your operating system) and when the value changes you launch some action.

Cheers,
