If you like testing out different programs on your PC you'll probably find a software cataloging program useful. These products not only inventory what you currently have installed but also document the different programs you've tried in the past or have moved to CD storage. There are a lot of these inventory programs around but one of the best is SoftCat [1], a shareware program from FNPRG.com. The last freeware version of SoftCat is still available from the download link below. This version doesn't have as many features as the latest commercial version, but it will still meet the needs of most users.
