Take a look at the classes 'SystemInformation', 'Environment', and
'Application'.  More information can be obtained using WMI:

In addition to Herfried, if your going to use wmi, wbemtest is very handy
tool that comes with windows to find out what info you can get from cimv2.
So I would also do some reading on wbemtest.

If you want I can send you and example app that uses wmi to get all sort of
pc info which I made a couple of months ago
