Keep Track of Purchased & Downloaded Windows Phone Apps
The Zune desktop software helps you keep track of your purchased and downloaded windows phone applications. To view the list of applications that you've installed to your Windows Phone, open up the Zune software on your computer and log into the Windows Live account you used when you purchased/downloaded the apps. Then click SETTINGS (I've highlighted the SETTINGS option with a red rectangle in the screenshot below).
Then click ACCOUNT > Purchased History > Apps
Unfortunately, all applications you've ever installed to your phone shows up in the list, including trial apps you may no longer care about. Also, there isn't a way to delete apps from the list, nor is there a way to force a manual reinstall of an App from this screen.

You also can't copy the list, unless you take a screenshot.
Zune's gui is really poorly designed. Easy to get lost in it, and has a much steeper learning curve than it should for this type of app. Plus limited functionality.

True, so true! I've been holding off on writing Zune-focused articles, but I'm going to write a series of articles to help my sister (who is a brand new windows phone & Zune user) out...otherwise I'll be spending hours on the phone with her trying to explain it to her.
