Default list of program descriptions?

Hi,

I'm wanting a link or database or some such that has information & descriptions on files & programs, so I can work out what's on my computer & why, so I can get rid of what I don't need or what shouldn't be there.

Thanks for that! I'll let you know if it doesn't do what I need. If I don't come back to this thread it did the trick!

Hi,

Ccleaner doesn't give descriptions of what programs I have. That is what I need so I know which programs & files I can get rid of. Anyone?? I'm sure I've come across something in the past that did it, but can't find anything now.
