    Thanks & Regds,
    suppose you could always get a list of all folder names in program files...

    or something simular

      Good thought.

      Probably use the File System Object to get a list of all the folders in the C:\Program Files\

      This isn't a perfect solution but it's somewhere to start depending on what you are trying to do.

      Code:
      FolderPath= "C:\Program Files\"
      set Folders = FSObject.GetFolder(FolderPath)
      set FileList = Folders.SubFolders

        You could open cmd and do "dir" for program files then have it save a text file of all those folder names

          I wonder whether the MSInfo control would provide this sort of info. If not, there should be somewhere you can retrieve it from the registry.

            Add new Form. Select Form type as About Dialog. There is SysInfo command button which will solve your problem.
