{Tutorial} – List the installed applications of your Windows PC!

Hello fellows , it's been a while since my last post. I have some tutorials today for you and this one is about your installed applications. Lets say for example you want to get all of your programs on your new system and you want the applications you had on your old one this is a way to get all of them listed and day to day download them all.

We will use the "Windows Instrumentation command-line interface (WMIC)" to do this and it's an easy task believe me.

let's start:

1. Open your Command-Prompt (start->all programs->accessories->command prompt)
2. Type in

   wmic

   and ENTER

3. You will see a new prompt:

   wmic:root\cli>

4. Type

   product get name,version

   This will list all the applications you have installed in the command prompt window.

5. If you want to generate a text or HTM file for printing, execute the following:

   /output:d:\Applications.txt product get name,version        {this will create a TEXT file}

   /output:d:\Applications.html product get name,version        {this will create an HTML file}

   change the "d:\applist.txt" to your desired directory and filename!!!

THANKS for reading my tutorial and i hope you find it useful!!!
