Reinstall Windows and Previous Programs
Hello,
There are many programs and ways to transfer settings, but I am looking for something else. Maybe someone knows how to do it and can help me.
Many times, for some reason or another, we have to make a fresh Windows reinstallation. Installing Windows is easy and fast, even faster if from the install.wim file as I learned from here, but reinstalling all the programs we have by hand and rebuilding all the system and settings is tedious and extremely long when we have many programs. It can take several days. For years I have installed my programs in a separate root folder subfolders (parallel to Program Files), but only the settings of a few because most of them are in the registry.
My question is: Is there a way to save the settings for all my programs to inject them on a new installation. This question might sound silly, but if possible, it would save an enormous lot of time to anyone, so after searching the forum and not finding any thread on this I had to ask it.
Thank you for any suggestion.
