You could attack it in a couple of ways. Search for excel.exe Look for file associations in the registry. For instance HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.csv with a value of "Excel.CSV" or one of the other associations it registers such as .xls All the file associations tell you however is if excel has once been on the machine. Only searching for excel.exe will tell you that it is on the machine now. .
