Resintalled OS

[usarmykr]

Hey I reinstalled my windows vista on its 30GB partition. All of my
data/programs are on a seperate 200G partition. Is there an easy way
to repair the registry or do I need to reinstall all the programs?

Programs that integrate into Windows need to be installed as new. There
is no easy way to do it. Free-standing programs that do not need to bind
to Windows resources can be started by making a shortcut to their *.exe,
*.com or *.bat files.

You have to reinstall all the programs. There is no way of avoiding it.
