Part of making backup copies of my document files before reformating my disk is to make a list of my installed programs files for future reference. This also helps me record what drivers and hot fixes I have and I'll need the next time I reformat my disk. Here's how to make a list. Download and install CrapCleaner at http://www.ccleaner.com/download/downloadpage.aspx it is a freeware system optimization and privacy tool. Run Crap Cleaner then go to Options. Go to Uninstall. Click the Save to text file… button. Print the txt file and keep it somewhere safe.

I have not heard about this software but I will check out it, I think it would be useful for make a good list of my installed programs, actually I have a cd with my the installer of my programs so every once that I reformat my hard disk, I have all my drives and programs, but I think it would do very well in a company, because a problem that reinstall the whole operating system are the drivers and programs, I don't like to install so many programs because it come with spyware as well, but if it is a good piece of software that will help me a lot, I think I can install it.
