  1. I'm trying to list all my installed programs.

    In the past I've used the Tools>Uninstall>Save to text file... function.

    This would normally produce a tab delimited file that I could import into Excel,
    but currently is does not seem to produce tab delimiters.

    Previously if I opened the file in Notepad it would look something like:
    Programs    Publisher    Install    Size    Version    StartMenu
    3D Pinball    Microsoft Coprporation    7/26/2021    5.10 MB    5.1.2600.5512    
    3D Viewer    Microsoft Corporation    10/27/2021        7.2107.7012.0

    Now there aren't any tab delimiters and everything appears run together like:
    3D PinballMicrosoft Coprporation7/26/20215.10 MB5.1.2600.55123D ViewerMicrosoft Corporation10/27/20217.2107.7012.07-Zip 21.06 (x64)Igor Pavlov1/26/202221.06Adobe Acrobat XI ProAdobe

    How can I restore the functionality?
    Has something happened to my .txt file associations?

    Running Windows 10 Home 21H2 64-bit, Excel 2019, CCleaner 5.89

  2. When my 6 month old Windows 8.1 system suddenly slowed down, I decided to check the Startup entries as a potential source of the problem. In several of the sections I noticed apparently duplicate entries.

     

    For example, in the Internet Explorer section, I can see entries for the same file (

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\WCIEActiveX\AcroIEFavClient.dll )

    for two different programs ( Adobe Acrobat Create PDF from Selection and Adobe Acrobat Create PDF Helper ).

     

    Is that a normal occurance? Do both entries need to be disabled or just one?

     

    In other cases, I have a Program (Adobe Acrobat Create PDF Toolbar) pointing to the same file name in two different paths ( C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\WCIEActiveX\AcroIEFavClient.dll and C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\WCIEActiveX\x64\AcroIEFavClient.dll ).That apparently accounts for 32 and 64 bit versions.

     

    Is that fairly typical and are both needed? Or is that a question for Adobe?
