History of installled files
Posted by Richard on January 17th, 2006


Hi

Does anyone know how I can see on my PC a history of installed files and the
dates installed? System restore doesn't tell you want has been installed. Is
there a History folder other than Internet Explorer history?
Thanks
Richard

If you mean installed programs.

Open Add or Remove Programs...
Start | Run | Type: appwiz.cpl | Click OK

Or get the Belarc Advisor, it's free.

The Belarc Advisor builds a detailed profile of your installed software and
hardware, including Microsoft Hotfixes, and displays the results in your Web
browser.
