Registry DisplayName and .exe

Jay
Hey There,
I have some code that will go through a couple of sections of the
registry, and create a list that contains the "DisplayName" values of
all the apps that are listed in the Add/Remove Programs list in the
Control Panel. I need to correlate these names with the .exe (or other
types) files that are responsible for these apps. Is there a way to do
this somehow? I didn't see anything in the registry that did that.

If you get no answer here, try asking in one of the platformsdk groups.
This is really a windows SDK question.
