It should be noted that this will only find software that puts a key in the add/remove registry hive. Since that covers 905% or more of installed software, it is still useful code. Thanks for sharing it.

That is a very good point EBGreen. Most programs add keys to add/remove but this won't work for old DOS programs or very old Windows programs.
