A tech show I listen to on the radio suggests using a free program called Belarc Advisor. It creates a list of every program on your computer, plus lists out all your hardware. It can also check if your security is up to date. The idea being that if you lose your drive you know what you had.

I have used it occasionally, on other computers, I think I will run it now on my current computer. Of course, I guess you would need to print out the results or save it to a USB!
