Generating a list of software installed on your PC

You can use the Windows command wmic to generate a list of the programs installed on your PC. Follow these steps:

1. Go to Start and type in 'cmd' to open Windows command prompt.

2. At the command prompt enter 'wmic' and hit return.

3. Next enter: /output:C:\foofolder\InstallList.txt product get name,version

Be sure to direct the output 'InstallList.txt' to a folder you have read/write permissions for.
