There is no way to move the programs intact if you do a clean install.
Programs will need to be reinstalled from the original media. Backup data
files and restore those. One tool to help migrate settings is the Files and
Settings Transfer Wizard (FAST). Here is a link for how that works.

Another options is to do an upgrade with XP Pro rather than a clean install.
This would maintain programs and settings. Run the Windows XP upgrade
advisor for info on compatibility of components and software.
