Hi all !

I need to re-install my Windows XP (SP1) + some
hotfixes. My question is: What happens to all other
programs on my computer when I clean (boot from CD and
choose in repair option) re-install them ? What I mean
is: I have Framework v1.1 installed and Symantec
Antivirus but what happens to configuration files of
those programs on re-install of Windows itself ? Does I
have to re-install them ?
 
What you're describing is not a clean install - it's a repair install.
During the repair, Windows XP will replace any Windows files that are not
the originals from the install source. You'll need to reinstall any
hotfixes or patches that have been applied to the system. As far as any
other applications, they should continue to operate.
