| Installed Applications Lister?
Can anyone suggest a free tool that will simply generate a list with all the apps I have currently installed? I'm playing with an XP reinstall because it's that time again.. it seems my disk needs a fresh start 
I don't mind it either, I can "reinstall" WinXP Pro literally in 5 minutes because I have a TI image of a fresh installation.. so it's no biggie  .
Thanks |

The old Aida32 program could do this....search this forum for a link.
I suspect its replacement (Lavalys Everest Home Edition) can do the same - »www.lavalys.com/

Yes, both Belarc and Everest will show a list of installed programs.
Everest perhaps a little "prettier", but both will list your Installed Programs. (Which you could of course print out).
For that matter, a scrolling Screen shot of Add/Remove, and a bunch of other Programs will tell you the bulk of what you have installed too.
Personally, I thing you should just do a clean install of XP, throw away any record of what Programs you have installed, and then install your Programs as you realize which ones it is you are missing the most.

You know.. I usually think very much that way.
It's just that I've spent months "researching" what the best software each for various tasks.. and doing that would be kind of stupid. I can still choose what to install and so on.. hehe.. but I'd like to have the list just so I know I have it
I'm also wondering if I should create two partitions on my C: drive this time.. hmmmm. |

LOL... That's exactly how I do it. I do a fresh install and then when I realize what I need is missing, I install it!

Fyle, did you image a totally "fresh" install of XP? It fits on one CD and TI restores it in 3 minutes! No need to reactivate, either (assuming you install it on the same PC)...

I have it on my external HD. Yeah, it's totally fresh. I installed WinXP, and right after the first boot.. when everything looks crappy and stupid, (plain Windows hehe), I made the image.. without even installing TI . |

It sure beats the 30-40 minutes it takes to install from the XP setup CD and it's a totally unattended install. Another reason to love TI!

Good point Howie!
Fyle! What ever you do, don't forget to write down TI when you make up your list!

pfffffff.. TI doesn't need to be written down. Some things are obvious. Like Opera, WinRar, TI, Thunderbird, Firefox, ZAP, Trillian, NOD32, Winpatrol, SnagIt, QCD, Total Uninstall, Evernote, MS Office Suite including OneNote, and and and.. so much stuff! |

Look at the bright side...If you were dadkins , just the LIST alone would take up at least 31 DVD's.
