    That's my last resort - (tbh hadn't thought of that!) .... any easy thing that makes a text file or something!

    That requires even more effort, and no point and click, have to type regedit (although in the list allready) but still. I know there is a program which does it (not as simply - has loads of other features) but I had it on the front of a mag when I bought them years ago!

    But thanks anyway.... I'll use a combination:

    reg
    sm
    add/remove

    A small part of some more complicated Windows Scripting code i wrote last week to allow the IT manager here to gain access to all networked machines here and gain access to what was installed.

    Copy the code to notepad and save it as a .cmd file, preferably named queryinstalledsoftware
