I use AVG anti-virus free at home, never had to reboot to install updates. But it’s mostly for the wife’s computer, since it’s a laptop and she tends to roam.

Thx,
JP

Sam, I wish I could take credit for the code, but here is where I found it:
http://www.xtremevbtalk.com/archive/index.php/t-274551.html

Everything in the registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - "SoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionUninstall") is listed so this API call could be modified to search the registry for all sorts of data.

All I needed to do for my project was to change the sub "main" to list each app into a worksheet rather than printing it to the immediate window.

Unfortunately, all installed Windows Hotfixes and updates are also listed, but as they are all suffixed with a KB number, it is quite easy to remove them from the list if you want to...

Outlook 2007: I use it all the time and (touch wood) have not had any problems to date, as for speed I find it quicker than Outlook 2003.

For VNC viewing I swear by UltraVNC because there is a tabbed viewer app. which comes in very handy. I also second the comment about Launchy – a lovely little app.

Also, for the record, I think I’m going to stick with Outlook 2003. Outlook 2007 sure takes up a lot of ram, runs very slowly, and freezes on occasion. I don’t think it’s ready for prime time. Anyone using it without any troubles?

UltraEdit is a handy text editor that edits columns, converts Unix/Dos/Mac, manipulates tabs & carriage returns. Many small features that reduce pain make ULtraEdit a handy tool.

Dick,

Given that You will need to install VS.NET 2008 then You must also make sure that there exist only one version of Excel. If not, then You'll get some abitray outcomes.

Remco,
I can only echo Your comment about SquirrelSQL. It's indeed a nice utility and once again I thank You for pointing it out for me.

Kind regards,
Dennis

Thanks Dick! One of these years I’m going to have to switch to 2007 but I’ll procrastinate as long as possible (hopefully until they fix that awful interface).
