The sample demonstrates how to monitor the registry key change event using WMI event. The change event will be raised when one of the following operations happened. 
1. Rename or delete the key.
2. Add, rename or delete a sub key under the key.
3. Add, rename, edit or delete  a value of the key.

This WMI event does not return the changed value and type. It just tells that there is a change. The properties that you can get from the event are Hive, KeyPath, SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR and TIME_CREATED.
