It's in the registry, easy to find with tools like this one:

Thanks.

However, this one, the .exe version, wants to install a Bing Bar. I
guess that's a tool bar for the Bing search engine. It doesn't seem
to give any way to bypass this part. I don't want any tool bars. Do
you think the zip version might be different?

Belarc works just as well.

But FYI, I used the .zip version of Keyfinder and it did not load any
toolbars. I avoid installers when possible.

Thanks to you too. I got Belarc now and it's pretty good.

I never heard that before. I liked the instlaller because I didn't
want to have to make a new folder etc. before I was actually ready to
install.
