    Is there any way in Win98 to write the list of programs that appear in

    Start > Settings > Add/Remove Programs

    to a *.txt file?

    that writes the list of files in the current directory to a text file.

    Maybe take a look at TweakUI. I think there's a registry key that holds them as well. Open up regedit ,do a search for a particular program title then when you find the list do Export Registry Key.

    Yeah sorry thought it read start menu

    Only way to get it into a text file is to run through the registry

    Check the MSDN or TweakUI for correesponding keys

    in windows 98

    go into the registry and go to the following key

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/MICROSOFT/WINDOWS/CURRENTVERSION/UNINSTALL

    thats the key that add/remove programs queries to populate itself.

    and dump it to a registry export

    and u can easily resave it without info u dont want to text
