Program to back up programs? - Sam - 2010-08-19
I'm looking for a program that can backup other currently installed programs into a zip file or something to be transferred onto an external hard drive.
My laptop has become corrupt, and the simplest solution seems to be reinstalling Windows 7. I can currently backup all of my music and files that matter, but I have a few essential programs that I don't want to go through the hassle of procuring again.
If anyone has heard of anything like this I would be very appreciative.

file and settings transfer wizard?

Thanks.
Edit: Is it possible to backup to a Windows XP from Windows 7? The 7 program is labeled "Easy Transfer" or something. I don't know if they are compatible.

Not compatible. Enjoy procuring the programs again.

Why not image your hard drive entirely? If this is not an option, you can see what Handy Backup (http://www.handybackup.net) is capable of. They have a lot of free plug-ins for backing up different software, you should see if the ones that you need are in the list. It also can back up Windows 7 registry.
