XP Question - Retrieving add/remove program list

You could check the registry

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Current Version/Uninstall

Although this displays also each update installed.

Some people suggest http://www.hijackthis.de/

Run hijack this, click the "open misc. tool section" button, click "open uninstall manager>click save list,yes to the prompts, notepad will open with your add/remove programs list.

I d/l HijackThis! and it seems to do the trick. Nice that it can be run from a thumb drive or install on local machines.
