List Of Files Associated With Programs.

[madbull]

Dear users,

My app will have an option which will let you reinstall removed apps if my prog is an after fresh install for example.

What i would like to know is every file that is associated with as many different "widows default programs etc" as possible.

I do know of bold fortunes site:

yet i'm not sure if he list all the files for the "assorted features etc" or only some of them (eg the ones he deals with).

I was wondering if ppl could like start with internet explorer for example and list all the files asociated with it.

Also if anyone knows of any websites to help me with this i would be most gratefull

Cheers in advance,

[madbull]

make a program which will tell you what has changed, for example it will scan the full XPCD, then you remove a component and then it will tell you what has been removed.. that might help n quite easy to do (i normally use VB .NET). after each removal you will have to read the nlite.inf for registry settings removed for that perticular removal.

Dear legolash2o,

Thank you for your reply (i though i wasn't going to get any) i seeyour point, yet if i was to do this how can i be certain that nlite takes out all the associated files? (if you can grasp where i'm coming from). I may try this tecnique for larger programs - media player,ie,outlook express etc.

But i think i have the above list of files figured i just need to be certain.

Thank you for your help and ideas,
