Reinstall windows but keep a few softwares

[death_relic0]

ok so when i got my PC, since then its gotten pretty slow so im plannin to do a fresh install of windows, or rather, to a 'restore to factor default' thing.. any ways, the only problem is i have a couple of 'online' games installed which will take ages to download and update again, so i was wondering if there was a way or a program i could use that would allow me to backup those games... like so they appear on the 'add or remove' program list and are in the windows registry.

No, can you backup to just after those games were installed.?
also download Ccleaner(free) run disk cleanup and registry cleaner. (should help)

If you do a restore, you won't only loose your games but also your Internet favorites, music, movies, pictures, etc...

Make sure you know what will need to be backed up and restored once you redo your system.
