Extract list of installed programs on Windows XP

I'm moving to Windows 7 and as every time I change OS, I need a list of the programs, I have installed. It turns out, that it is pretty easy to get this list in Windows XP.

Here's how:
  1. Start > Run, type msinfo32.exe and press enter
  2. System information window opens
  3. Expand node Software environment and click Program groups
  4. The right pane of the window now display all your installed programs
  5. Select all using Ctrl+A and copy to clipboard using Ctrl+C
Now you can paste the list into excel or another file and save it to a network drive or an USB drive.
