i was wondering if there was a program that can gather all the information of programs i have installed on my computer and allow me to print them out, im getting a new computer and want to make sure i have all the programs i need...
 
Assuming all your applications are installed in the Program Files folder, you can create a list without any third-party software.

Code:
Start>Run>cmd
cd "C:\Program Files"
dir > programs.txt
Open up programs.txt in Notepad and print out the list. :)
 
thats soo damn cool..thanks..that was just what i needed...
 
I can't believe I never thought of that. I'd always take a screenshot of Add/Remove. :suprised:

Yeah, and the trouble with that is there are certain apps that don't use installers (just unzip and go), and those wouldn't be listed under the Add/Remove Programs panel. :)
 
Nor if you keep some programs installed in different folders.
ie: Some internet related apps I install to a folder called 'Net'.

Perhaps a screenie of something else? a place in the registry?
 
cd\
dir /ad /s > lpt1:

grab coffee while your printer spews every single diretory on the drive :)
 
or...

dir *.exe /s > list.txt

for all executables including those in sub dirs.

Nice, REP Point!

I used dir /ad /s > C:\dir.txt instead so I dont have to print it off :D

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
