I'm about to uninstall Windows XP, reformat my C: drive, and reinstall
Windows XP. A list of installed applications would be essential to
reconstruct my system. I can generate one from the program "Your
Uninstaller!" but it's not complete. Apparently, a great many
programs get installed without their getting into the uninstallable
list.

I have installed all programs into c:\Program Files, but it would be a
lot of work editing all the crap out of a directory listing of all
directories and subdirectories under c:\Program Files.

Can anyone suggest a way to get as complete list of programs that have
been installed as is possible?

Thanks in advance.

Actually, that will give a pretty thorough list.

Don't forget your emails and Favorites list, too.
