If you really want to get a good look under the hood of your machine, MyUninstaller is a good start. It clearly offers more than an absolute beginner can handle, but those not overly impressed by long columns will find a very important and useful one: Installation Date. This column lets you sort the entries by their date of installation and so enables you to uninstall the stuff you’ve put on just a while ago, but forgot its name. MyUninstaller is a fine tool for the intermediate, and also for the dauntless beginner who is not easily confused.
