Hello everyone:

I have a question, but it does not relate to excel. I was wondering i
any of the computer wizards in this forum know how I can get a list o
1) Programs 2) Softwares on a particular computer.

I went to the control panel of my computer and I think it just has som
of the programs and softwares; I need a complete list.

Please help.


Thank you much.

Richard,

One way would be to use the Windows Explorer and look
under Program Files.

It would be best if you reposted this question to the
Windows newsgroup, I know there is some third party
software out there that can do what you are requesting and
much more like what is resident or how often a program is
used etc..

If the computer in question runs Windows and has a single fixed disk, C:, then
you could create listings of .EXE, .COM and .DLL files from a console prompt
using the console commands

dir C:\*.EXE /s/b > exe_file.lst

dir C:\*.COM /s/b > com_file.lst

dir C:\*.DLL /s/b > dll_file.lst

This leaves open the question whether you also would want listings of .ASP,
OCX, and various other binary file types that could be considered software. Be
prepared to sift through thousands of files in these listings.
