How does Windows recognize that programs are installed on your system?
If I install e.g. Battlefield 3, how does Windows recognize it as one of the installed programs on my computer? Does is have to do with registries? If so, where could I see the list (other than Control Panel - Installed Programs)?
It doesn't really help as to show what exactly must I be looking at to see the list of all the programs installed. Can you find the exact thing I'm looking for?
