I need to have a relative generate a report of the installed applications on their Windows XP Home. They don't know what they have and can't really tell me.

Is there some program already built into Windows which I can have them run and generate me a text report? Is there something which is easy to install which could do what I am asking?

The problem is we are on different coasts and I am still being forced to try to help with their problem by another relative.

i dont know how to, but i'd imagine the best way would be to query the Add and Remove documents list.
