Thread: search in C++

Hi,
I wanted to search a local hardrive for all the currently installed programs. Is there any function or any tutorial to do that in C++. Thank you

You can search the registry for programs that are registered with the system, as that would probably be a better option than just scanning C: for every *.exe file.

Messing with the registry can cause severe damage to you system if you're not careful, so make sure you know what you're doing before you do it. With that said, you'll be able to find information on how to do that at MSDN. I recommend using google to search MSDN (so does MSDN, actually). Just precede your search terms with "msdn".
