You have a system for backing up installed applications? IIRC, you'd have to backup parts of the registry for that. It's definitely possible, but it doesn't beat a clean install since then you'd still have to find the uninstaller and other stuff. From my experience, I'd say that backing up Windows applications is about infeasible. Most won't run if not properly installed. -- Got Backup? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
