Hello,

I want to export the List of Programs, which appears in my Control Panel ->
Add/Remove Programs screen to a Text/Excel File.

How can I achieve this?

It worked for me. Thanks a lot.

I have another question for you. I am using a Regular User on Windows XP
(without Admin Rights) and my policies prevent me from running RegEdit.exe
locally. Then, how is your script capable to read the Registry???

Glad that was of use for you. There are various ways to access the Windows Registry, with Regedit being only one way to do that from a graphical interface. The scripting runtime engine has access to that information as would most compiled programs through use of Windows API calls. If somebody has locked down Regedit on your computer, it may be that scripting would be blocked from writing to the Registry but that capability is not required for this. "OK, you can look but don't touch" is not a bad policy in cases like this.
