choco The help for `choco list --includeprograms` is unclear

-p, --includeprograms, --include-programs IncludePrograms - Used in conjuction with LocalOnly, filters out apps chocolatey has listed as packages and includes those in the list. Defaults to false.

The phrase filters out apps is confusing. So is the phrase apps chocolatey has listed as packages

Does this hide things? Does this SHOW apps, or does it SHOW packages that are NOT apps?

Perhaps what you mean is:

IncludePrograms - When LocalOnly is specified, chocolatey does not 
    include packages that are listed as apps, set this to show them in the list.
   Defaults to false.

But I really can't tell for sure.

Run it, it makes more sense when you do.

Basically it compares the list you have installed with ARP (add remove programs), returns results from local only and then also returns results from ARP that are not part of the already returned results from local only pacakges

So maybe what it should say is ...

IncludePrograms - When LocalOnly is specified, list packages managed by chocolatey, and then also list all programs in add-remove programs which are not managed by chocolatey.

Or leaving aside the "in add-remove programs" it could just say:

IncludePrograms - When LocalOnly is specified, list packages managed by chocolatey, and then also list all installed programs which are not managed by chocolatey.
