      Add/Remove stores the list in the Registry. You can read from the same location to find the apps installed. On 2000 the path is: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall Deepak Khajuria

            Uninstall branch in the registry doesn't contain filenames of application itself - note that sometimes one uninstall removes more than one .exe. Depending on your definition of 'installed applications' you should look elsewhere. Maybe you should just scan the start menu? Tomasz Sowinski -- http://www.shooltz.com
