Hi Jay,
>Is there a way to do this? I'm about to wipe a hard drive after backing it up, but would like to have an easy reference of installed apps.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Products
contains all installed products. The application name is in "ProductName" in each of the GUID sub keys. If you want to do it in a batch file:
FOR /F %%i IN ('reg query HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Products') DO @reg query %%i /v ProductName|FINDSTR "ProductName"
