I would NEVER do what organ is recommending, just reinstall the programs and transfer your data that is used by these programs.
yes you can do that and just because YOU would "NEVER" do it doesn't mean it does NOT work
falsely claiming that you can't do so just means you don't know what you're talking about.
you do not need to reinstall them and there is NO problem with transferring them over with the correct registry files
you will not mess your computer up in any way and i would know from first hand experience as i've done this just recently with almost all of the games i own and several other programs.
not only have it done this on my own computers but i have done this with other peoples computers as well.
done right and it works just as reinstalling the programs but without taking nearly as long.

as you have said that is what i just explained how to do in my last post.
