Is there any type of free software that can scan your computer and give an inventory of the programs on it?

Question

My boss would like to know what software our employees have loaded on their computers. I am looking for a free program that can generate a printout of that. Does anyone know of any?

Answer 1

Yes its free and you dont need to download anything....

Run a free scan from pcpitstop, then on the right side you will see a link for installed software, it gives a complete list along with the date it was installed....

http://pcpitstop.com

At this link, click full scan
Then click on the key, New Members
You can create a free account, or click dont create account and run the test!

Answer 2

This works in Outlook 2000 -- unfortunately it does not work in Outlook 2003 - or, if it does, I haven't figured it out yet.

Open Outlook
make sure the Outlook Bar is active (View, Outlook Bar)
click Other Shortcuts

To print a list of contents of a folder:
select My Documents
Using View, Current View menu, show what you want
click File
click Print

To print a list of installed programs, you would select My Computer instead of My Documents, go to C:, click Programs, you will see a list of program to the right. Adjust the width of columns, then File, Print.
