Only in linux..... Remember, linux is
NOT windows. You can not access windows in that sort of sense.
But as far as within ubuntu, yes, with the following:
Code:
dpkg --get-selections > software_list
After you run that, you can view the outputted file with any text editor of your choice to view all installed applications and programs.
Cheers,
