My computer seemed to get really bogged down. It took for
ever to start and shutdown my laptop. I have XP
professional. I did disk clean up, defragement, and
system restore. I would like to know if there is a way
to restore programs that I installed after the restore
point I used to restore instead of reinstalling them.

Also, after I did disk cleanup or defragement(i cant
remember) some of the file names are colored blue and
some are black?
 
John;
The applications may need to be reinstalled.

Disk Clean-up has an option to "Compress old files"
Old files that are seldom used are compressed and marked blue.
 
System restore does not restore or reinstall application software.

The color blue indicates that a file is compressed.
