How to get installed programs in Windows 8

I often do experiments on my laptop with different software installations that might create challenges which would need me to re-install my Windows 8 software back. When I install Windows 8 often I find myself lost with the option to view the installed programs. So, I am writing this article for people like me who often forget how they could view the installed programs in Windows 8. I normally create a new tool bar and provide the path “C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu” and select “Programs” folder and this gives me list of programs installed in my computer.
