Here is a piece I picked from a NG. Quite awhile back someone wanted to be
able to get the liist of installed software on a machine easily. This does
it. I have placed numbers at the beginning of each separate line of code so
you can tell the lines. Some are long and the email client shows it on a
separate line when it is actually on the preceding ....
1. @echo off
2. start /wait REGEDIT /e %TEMP%.\~tmp
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
3. FIND "DisplayName"<%TEMP%.\~tmp | FIND /v "QuietDisplayName"
4. del %TEMP%.\~tmp
5. goto :EOF
Save the code above in a dos batch file such as ListProg.bat or ListProg.cmd
. At the System Command Prompt, either ListProg|more to see the list in the
command window or ListProg>SomeTextFile.TXT to capture the output in a text
file. I never was a Dos batch file Guru, but whoever conjured this one up
(I couldn't tell in the NG who was the author of the code as it was
reprinted with a tongue in cheek reference to someone familiar to the poster
and others on the "Inside") did it nicely and simply.
