A Handy Tip for Windows XP Users

Here is something I came across and thought you might find interesting. It comes from my friends at WinXPnews.

This little technique is designed to give you a list of all the Microsoft programs that are installed on your computer. But, it also gives you a list of programs that start up automatically when you power up...and a list of your last computer crashes and what caused the problem.

1. Click <Start> then <Help and Support>
2. In the left column of the Help and Support window, under Pick a Help Topic, click Windows Basics.
3. In the left pane, click to expand Core Windows Tasks, then Click Searching for information
4. In the right pane, under Pick a Task, click Get information about your computer
5. In the right pane, under What do you want to do?, click View a list of Microsoft software installed on this computer

If all this info is helpful to you, you can copy and paste it into another document.

Actually, you might want to spend some time exploring the entire Help and Support area. It is very useful and filled with good information.

Happy computing!!
