    I searched a lot for a batchfile that could export a list to a text file of all the installed programs on my machine. I want the list as similar as possible to the 'visual' list of the Add/Remove Programs in Windows.

    What i got till now is a batch file that export a list from 3 different registerkeys (which is suggested from search on Google to be the ones that contains all the programs). After that, I check for double lines and remove those double lines.

    Finally, with the findstr option I can filter lots of updates like all the Microsoft 'KB' options out.

    The batch file so far:

    Code: [Select]
    @echo off
    If Exist C:\Final.txt Del C:\Final.txt
    regedit /e C:\regexport.txt "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall"
    regedit /e C:\regexport2.txt "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall"
    regedit /e C:\regexport3.txt "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall"
    find "DisplayName" C:\regexport.txt > C:\regprogs.txt
    find "DisplayName" C:\regexport2.txt >> C:\regprogs.txt
    find "DisplayName" C:\regexport3.txt >> C:\regprogs.txt
    for /f "tokens=2 delims==" %%a in (C:\regprogs.txt) do echo %%~a >> C:\installedprogs.txt
    del C:\regexport.txt
    del C:\regexport2.txt
    del C:\regexport3.txt
    del C:\regprogs.txt
    sort C:\installedprogs.txt > C:\alles.txt
    del C:\installedprogs.txt

    )

      Why to export to text file. Export it to csv, you can even open that in Excel.

      You can read this article to know how to export all installed apps
