Leo,
I have a freeware program called "System Information for Windows (SIW) that seems to do a good job of indication of "what's installed on my machine?". The URl is http://www.gtopala.com/. The program also gives more than you ever wanted to know about your computer. :)

BTW, Thanks for all the good info.
Dave

A really EXCELLENT free program/service that gives a profile about your entire system (not just the programs installed) is "Belarc Advisor", and can be found at "belarc.com". It is very useful. :)

How do I find out what's installed on my machine?

I also recommend Belarc Advisor.
and SIW (System Information for Windows) http://www.snapfiles.com/get/siw.html

It performs computer configuration analysis and diagnostics. It gives detailed information about your computer properties and settings, detailed specs for:
• Software: Operating System, Installed Software and Hotfixes, Processes, Services, Users, Open Files, System Uptime, Installed Codecs, Licenses.
• Hardware: Motherboard, Sensors, BIOS, CPU, chipset, PCI/AGP, USB and ISA/PnP Devices, Memory, Video Card, Monitor, Disk Drives, CD/DVD Devices, SCSI Devices, S.M.A.R.T., Ports, Printers.
• Network: Network Cards, Network Shares, currently active Network Connections, Open Ports.
• Tools: Password Recovery, Reveal passwords hidden behind asterisks, Product Keys and Serial Numbers (CD Key), MAC Address Changer, Shutdown / Restart.
• Real-time monitors: CPU, Memory, Page File usage and Network Traffic.
SIW can create a report file (CSV, HTML, TXT or XML), and is able to run in batch mode (for PC Auditing and Inventory).
SIW is a standalone utility that does not require installation - one less installed program on your PC as well the fact that you can run the program directly from a USB flash drive (Portable Freeware).

How do I find out what's installed on my machine?

I recommend Belarc Advisor. (www.belarc.com)

It gives me an amazing detailed profile of my computer with hundreds of suggestions - very strong on security issues.

It's reasons like this I use Linux, virtually everything is installed using the package manager. It's easy to install/uninstall/see what is already installed. Updating is particularly good, just click on go and it will update everything on it's own, now that's convenience.
