How to create backups to your programs? (NOT the whole OS partition)
Hey guys,
a series of unfortunate events just came about - I'm now forced to format my computer and reinstall Windows 7 Ultimate X64 - However, I have a ton of software installed that I can't afford to waste time looking for them, downloading some of them, locating them etc and then reinstalling them.
Is there a program that lets me backup my programs, so that then I reinstall them easily via those backups? (Just like how Driver magician works with backing up drivers)
If there's none, then what can be done in my situation?
Again, I want an easy way to reinstall my programs, and not having to install them from cds/dvds, downloading them again, etc.
Thanks for your help.
EDIT: Just to make this clear - I'm not looking for ways to 'just' copy the required programs files over to my new install - I don't need a backup tool to do that. I need a way to 'officially' reinstall my programs (i.e. get their registry keys back, make them visible in the control panel, etc)
