Is there a way to auto verify installed programs?
Hi,
I recently had a hard drive die on me and after finally getting windows 7 to boot up again I'm left with a lot of programs that used to be on my H:\ drive in the Windows Start menu as well as in the Windows 7 Programs & Features program.
Is there any program or Windows function available that would allow me to auto verify that a program or item exists both on the windows start menu as well as physically on the hard disk where it should be (according to the Start menu) and also verify the programs that are listed in my Programs & Features window also physically exist on the hard drive where they should be so that I can clean up all these program listings in both the start menu as well as Programs & Features window.
I also need a program that will properly clean my registry for any programs that have been installed but no longer exist on my hard drive, is there such a program and if so what do people recommend?
While I could certainly google for programs that might work, I'd rather not end up choosing one that might install more malware/spyware on my computer while doing it's work. So, I come here to find out from people that know of these things.
Thanks
