> Another thing to keep in mind is that if you have installed any Windows '9x programs on your machine that you are wanting to transfer, they will have updated the Registry when they were originally installed. There is no easy way to copy the registry in part. It can be transferred as a whole, if done correctly, but not really advisible unless you've done it before. The progs. most likely won't work without their registry entries, but you can re-install each one after you have transferred them. This will allow you to keep any files the progs. may have created, but will also re-create the registry entries. > > Drac
Most of my programs are actually installed that way. There's no way that I'll be converting most of them, though. What I'm doing now is running my computer 24-7 in an attempt to download all the install files for some various programs that I happen to like. I'm only keeping the save files. Of course, I'll end up losing all the stuff that I got 'free' from big businesses, of which the only ones I care about are Corel Photoshop and MS-Word. I'm going to get a new version of word, so I won't worry about that. As for Corel, I'm trying to figure out where it put everything! The version I've got became obsolete about 4 years ago or so, and I can't find a replacement yet.
