Settings and Other Apps Registration

[Guest]

I'm sorry if this is covered elsewhere, but I couldn't find it.

I had a hardive that would not boot up Windows XP, but would be perfectly
readable as a slave drive. I backed up all my programs including XP. I
reformatted the origial drive and reinstalled XP and it is working fine
again. Is the a procedure to get all my program registrations back so I
don't have to register every program? Maybe a clue as to what folder in XP
holds all that info so I can copy it from my backup?
Thanks.

That clean install you did will require a reinstallation of the programs
also.
