Save list of software installed in your system using CCleaner

Nowadays, many of us search the Internet for free software.
We download them, install them, try them for some time and uninstall some of them.

This keeps on going. Sometimes we do not have a track or list of the software that are currently in the system.

A time comes, when there is a problem with the system, that the OS has to be repaired or reinstalled.

After reinstalling the OS like Windows, we may wonder how many software were present in the Start menu.

During these times, having a list of software currently installed, comes handy.

Now and then, you can take a list.
You can download CCleaner and use it. You can download it here.

How do you save a list of software?

Step 1 : Load CCleaner
















Step 2 : Click on Tools option. It is the 3rd option on the left.


















It shows the list of software that are installed in the system.

Step 3:   Click on Save to text file button. 


















It opens up the Save As window, that you see whenever a file has to be saved.

Choose your folder where the file has to be saved and click on Save button.

















The filename is install.txt. It will be stored in the folder you had selected.

Step 4:  View the install.txt file


















You can see the list of software in this text file

So, this is how you can take a list of software presently installed in your system.

For clarity and safety:


  • You can rename the file with the date so that you will know when was this list taken.
    For example, you can rename it to 09-oct-12-softwarelist.txt
  • You can store this file online in storage facilities like Google Drive, etc.

Digital Transformation Is Not About Tools, It’s About People

When people talk about “digital transformation,” the conversation almost always begins with tools: cloud platforms, CRMs, automation software, AI. The latest shiny object becomes the centerpiece of the discussion. But in my journey — from building early AI projects in the 90s, to creating dot-com businesses on dial-up connections, to developing enterprise portals and online workforce systems — I’ve learned something important: **technology by itself doesn’t transform a business. People do.** *** Tools Are Enablers, Not the Destination Think back to the early 2000s, when many businesses rushed to create websites. Most stopped at making them digital brochures. The websites existed, but the businesses didn’t transform. Transformation only happened when entrepreneurs realized they could use technology to automate processes, generate revenue, and strengthen customer relationships. The same is true today with cloud, AI, and automation. Tools are only enablers. Without people to reimagine wor...

Building Websites on Dial-Up Taught Me a lot about User Experience

  When we think of user experience today, we often picture sleek mobile apps, lightning-fast websites, and seamless interactions. But my journey with user experience began in the late 1990s and early 2000s — a time when most of us were connecting to the internet using noisy dial-up modems. Every second online was precious because it was both slow and expensive. Designing for that environment taught me lessons about user experience that remain just as relevant — if not more — in today’s digital landscape. 1. Speed is Everything On dial-up, even a simple image could take 30 seconds to load. This forced me to think critically about every element on the page. Do we really need that graphic? Can we compress it further? Could we use text where others would use images? The result was websites that prioritized performance before performance became a buzzword. Today, with mobile networks and global audiences, the lesson is the same: users don’t wait. Speed isn’t just technical — it’s ...

Finding when yahoo email address is compromised and how to handle it

Recently, I am seeing people's  yahoo  email being compromised. What happens is, a fake message is sent to  all the contacts of that yahoo email,  asking for money.  The owner of the email, generally is not aware of this.  Apart from this type of email, other types of spam emails are also sent regularly, from the yahoo email. How can we spot this type of attack ? In your contacts list, add one of your other email address like hotmail or gmail.  When this type of message comes out, a copy is received in your other email address.  So, you will know your account is compromised, immediately. When this happens  I strongly suggest to wind up that account. First, change the password. Second, create another yahoo email address.  Inform all your contacts about this new yahoo email address.  Third, stop using old yahoo email address. Also, report that email address is compromised to yahoo. As a precaution for your friends, you can have the ha...
