Hi-<br />
I find that I must wipe out my hard drive and reload Windows (spyware gone wild!). &nbsp;of course I wish to save and reload all important software to the reloaded Windows. &nbsp;I can look at the Add/remove programs list to see what is installed and write it down (longhand!). &nbsp;or, what I am looking to do is find a free utility that will accomplish the same thing.<br />
Does ANYONE know of something &nbsp;that would work for me?<br />
<br />
thanks very much!<br />

Need free utility to list all software installed on computer

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.

System Utilities are a type of system software used to support the computer infrastructure, distinguishing it from application software which is aimed at directly performing tasks that benefit ordinary users. Commonly used utilities include password managers, disk managers, system monitors, data synchronization tools, security and antivirus software and editors.

System Utilities

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.
