    Reinstalling - restore windows.old programs?


    Is it possible to transfer programs from my old windows.old file after a reinstall of the Windows 7 OS?

    After the first installation of Windows 7 I was having weird performance issues which is why I'm doing the reinstall, but if there's a faster way of accessing my old programs without having to install all of them it would be a big help.

    You will need to reinstall programs, sorry.

    Some may run as executables, but a lot won't.
