Hi all
Try to find anything about added/removed programs in the registry .
In case If I want to trace program X which's was in the add/removed programs With the labels
'Rarely'-'occasionally'-frequently" .
where can I find about it in the registry?
the OS is WINXP pro.
Thanks in advance.

I am sorry, my friend, I do not quite understand your question?
Yes, you see those usage frequency figures................that bit I know :)
What else is it you want to know?.............is it the "rules" or what?....
:)
You mean you want to find a history of everything that has been added or uninstalled on the computer itself?
You can often find this in the system logs. But, those logs get overwritten pretty quickly.
I'm unsure how to get a complete listing. I will look around for evidence of a program... like undeleted folders, files, temp files. Or digging through the registry you can find references to programs that the uninstall program didn't remove. etc.
Sometimes software audit tools work for that. Give aida32 a try or some other auditing software. Most software times audit tools will only list installed programs.
Or you want to know where in the registry windows keeps the listings for the programs in add/remove utility?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
If you delete any of the keys in there... the corresponding entry in add/remove programs will be missing.
Make sure you backup your registry before screwing around with it.
I don't know if this will help to assist what you've already been told or not but in the google heading it seems to fit the bill...

I think that Windows Washer might do the work on your behalf. It removes all the unnecessary files that may run over your OS.
You try, judge!
hi opeth
Window Washer is a good program but it doesn't support FireFox and most of the Features
in the program can be done with ohter programs I already have .
for the registry I have RegSeeker
thanks.
Hi coolcamel,
I think that I understand your question now.................strictly speaking, if you install software and it is registered then you get a registry entry. However a lot of software does not require this process, so there is absolutely no indication in the registry that it was ever on the machine.
Similarly, if registered software is uninstalled PROPERLY, then the registry entries will also be removed, and there will be no evidence left.
I am inclined to agree with valhallen's suggestion that you need systems monitoring software.
;)
