Jenda is correct - it's not OT, and yes, you will need to filter the subkeys. You want to look for the values of the "DisplayName" strings. These are the values that show up in Add/Remove Programs.

Mike you may want to look into the registry at HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall I believe you will need to filter the keys below a bit since I seem to have keys for programs I already deleted as well as keys that are either empty or contain value "SystemComponent":DWORD=1. I'm not 100% this is the list you want but I think so. Jenda =========== [EMAIL PROTECTED] == http://Jenda.Krynicky.cz ========== There is a reason for living. There must be. I've seen it somewhere.
