I just upgraded to Win 7 and noticed that they have removed the installed date from the list of programs to "uninstall".
The installed date was very handy, for as you know if you download something you always get a lot of stuff you didn't want. Sorting the list by date made easy to unclutter your program list.
Any idea on how to get this date back in?

If you right click on a column header, you may have to place a check box in the Installed On option or select the More option and choose it from there. Then again by grabbing the column header you can move to organize the columns as to your preferences.

You're welcome. Gotta love the easy ones. They help you get past some of the serious head scratchers.
