Is backup of the programs installed on a user's profile before you rebuild the profile as possible?

Hello

I just want to know if there is a way to backup installed programs before you rebuild a user profile.

I'm pretty used to reconstruct profiles but I'm looking for a solution to restore the programs as well after the recreation of the user profile. It's quite tedious to install old software on the new profile. Is anyway to backup installed programs via the registry so that they will not have to be installed again (as they are already installed on the computer anyway) after the recreation of the user profile?

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    Hello

    The ASR (automated system recovery) tool must have a disk for restoration purposes. The best option, if you really want to use ASR, is a floppy of USB external as suggested by chrisamiller.

    You can also follow this procedure to create the ASR files without the floppy drive and then copy them to another location to create a floppy disk or, if you're lucky, your PC can boot from a USB key (I never tried to start ASR on a key, do not know if it will work or not, but it might be worth it) :

    "You can"trick"the ASR in the race without a floppy drive." When it gets to the point where he writes on the diskette to cancel it. He writes two files, which are used for recovery, in the Windows\Repair directory. After completing your ASR copy these two files (files asr.sif and asrpnp.sif) to a network location and then make the diskette also. Make sure you update your disk whenever you make a new ASR or your backup will be watered.

    Or, you can use a USB floppy drive. It is sometimes the only option, especially if you need to install SCSI or SATA drivers during the recovery. »

    a: when you start the backup, it may be in Wizard mode. Follow the link to the Advanced Mode.
    b. Backup tab.
    c. click on the box next to the drive you want to back up so that it has a blue box.
    d. backup media or file name: Browse.
    e. Select a new file name on your CD.

    I tried restoring factory several times with Vista and still once I even made restoration to the first State to install W7 disk then updated from the web and then she still uses it for his United work and it freezes.

    There is nothing wrong with his work United as when using my laptop or even its partners a there aren't any issues or problems.
    Programs are in Office 2007 and it is the same copy I have in my laptop and they are both up-to-date.

    Hello

    I think that the described issue could be related to a hardware problem, given that the laptop should not have problems running the Microsoft Office applications.

    In many cases, the s for laptop system could freeze due to a higher temperature.
    My girlfriend repeatedly asked for help because the laptop froze too.

    But the problem was linked to a higher temperature because cooling fans were clogged and cooling fans might not work correctly. She used the laptop sitting on the couch and there was not a lot of free space around the laptop to ensure good air circulation

    I want to say is that there are several reasons for such behavior annoying cell phone I think it would be wise to check the hardware first

    In ADDITION, 2nd edition: I have an infected memory stick digital camera.  It has infected my computer 4 times from AUGUST 2009 I realized that it was the culprit.  It leads to the DEATH of SCREEN BULE.  He arrived Friday.  I made the recovery of the system.  I REINSTALLED it.  QUESTIONS: What should I do with this memory stick?  Throw it in the trash?  I lost 6 months of precious photos.  Can I move photos or keep the photos?  What do you recommend?

    In ADDITION, through the memory stick infect my computer and then the PICTURES who made the infection.  About 3 or 4 flash drives have been put in my computer.  Are they all infected?  I have College CRITICISM of work on one that I can't lose.  What should I do?  Should these flash drives be CLEANED of INFECTION?  They CLEAN themselves without losing me my files stored?  What do you recommend?  I need someone to assess whether or not they are infected?

    The infected memory stick infects my digital camera?  And my Photosmart HP ALL IN ONE printer?  Are they ALSO infected?  Will be going to infect my computer.

    I do not think that the SECURITY SOFTWARE I have: (free from Comcast) Norton and Microsoft Security Essentials, are fighting the infection from the memory stick.  It would be good to have an EXPERT evaluate the memory stick and tell me what they think.  As well as my flash drives, an expert must evaluate and tell me if 3 flash drives are infected? And they are clean? And the files that I have on them can be saved?

    I hope you can help me, THANK YOU, WG

    First, you have to run two anti-virus programs.  This is NOT recommended.

    Second... you state one of them is Microsoft Security Essentials.  If this is the case, you can't turn on Windows Defender because MSE already made defender and stops automatically Defender because it is no longer necessary.

    Difficulty of these 2 things and your problem should be solved.

  • BACKUP OF THE PROGRAMS AND FILES BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH A SYSTEM RECOVERY?

    I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW TAKE OFF PROGRAMS ON A COMPUTER, THE FILES AND THEN PUT THEM ON A DISK BEFORE DOING A SYSTEM RESTORE?

    ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

    Thank you.

    In general, you cannot save a program as you would for your data.  Programs install parts of themselves in many different places on your computer - files and registry entries.  In addition, due to the SID, resettlement by copying to a new system is usually not possible.

    You can save them using an imaging system.  But makes an exact copy of the hard drive - so install it on another system may not work.

    About your data, most of it are contained in the C:\Users directory - so if you copy all the C:\Users directory you should get all your data.  Be sure to copy all hidden folders too, as some programs store data there.  Also copy public folders as some programs (such as QuickBooks) stores information there also.

    Hi abgolf3,

    The question may be how the new hard drive has been formatted.  Take a look at the way in which the reader is implemented by clicking Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > double-click on computer management > double-click storage.  Is all the space on the disk are responsible?  If so, take a look at these two documents for your problem:

  • How to make a program available to all users if the program was installed for a user

    Basically, the problem is that I created another user account, but only a few random apps appear on it and I was REALLY looking FORWARD to having to reinstall some programs + 50 so my computer can function normally on my secondary account.  I am able to find a lot of programs installed by snooping around in Explorer and have been able to run some by creating shortcuts, but many of them (Spybot, Itunes, Google Chrome, THE LIST GOES ON!) nothing do when the .exe is open and are unusable (on this account).
    Also, I want to say there is no page support for Windows 7 that cover this topic (that I could find by using the provided search engine), and the more those (as for windows 2000) do not apply because they tell you to move files Windows has more, but it is a known problem and Microsoft should incorporate a simple way to add or remove accounts without uninstall/install programs just to be able to check a box... _ Perhaps there could even be an option for this in a very obvious place, as installed programs list of the filth or user account settings.

    Any application that is properly designed to work on Windows 7
    either would give the person making the installation option to
    make the application available to all users, or do it automatically.
    by default. It is entirely the responsibility of an application
    programmers and out of Microsoft's control. Thus, the easiest way, of
    of course, is to use an application that is designed for a multi-user operating system.
    But, unfortunately, this is not always an option, where companies must rely on
    existing proprietary applications.

    If you install the legacy application places its shortcuts
    only in the start of the person performing the installation, all the
    You may need to do is to move these Start Menu entries to the same
    location in the C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start start\program
    folder and/or the C:\Users\Public\Public Desktop folder.

    In addition, such an incompatible application can offer additional
    "challenges:

    You may experience problems if the software has been designed to
    Win9x / Me, or if it was intended for Windows NT / 2 K/XP, Vista/Win7, but was
    poorly designed. Quite simply, the application 'knows' how
    manage individual user with different security permissions profiles
    e going to
    'banned' sections of the Windows registry or Windows protected
    system folders.

    For example, the saved data is often stored in a subfolder under the
    folder of the application in C:\Program Files - a place where it doesn't
    the inexperienced user or limited should never have write permissions.

    It may even be that the software requires 'write' access to the parties
    the registry or the files/folders to systems protected are not normally
    accessible to regular users. (He * didn't * happen if the application is)
    correctly written.) If this does not prove that that is the case, however, you
    often left with three options: either grant the required users
    privileges of senior access (either as users with power or local
    Administrators), explicitly grant privileges for normal users
    the relevant records and/or parts or the registry or replace the
    request by another who has been properly designed especially for
    WinNT / 2 K/XP/Vista/Win7.

    Some programs do not work if you connect limited account
    http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB; EN-US; q307091

    In addition, here are some tips suggested, in response to a
    another post, MS - MVP Kent W. England:

    "If your game or your application works with administrator accounts, but not with."
    limited accounts, you can set it to allow limited users to access to the
    folder Program files with 'change' ability rather than 'read' that
    is the default value.

    C:\>Cacls "Program Files\appfolder" /e /t /p user: c

    where "appfolder" is the folder where the application is installed.

    If you want to undo these changes, then run

    C:\>Cacls "Program Files\appfolder" /e /t /p user: r

    NOTE: On Win7 Icacls.exe gives more control.

    If you still have a problem with the delivery of the program or save the settings
    on limited accounts, you may need to change the permissions in the registry
    keys. Run regedit.exe and go to HKLM\Software\vendor\app, where
    the key of the Publisher of the software used to your own
    program. Change the permissions on this key to allow users full control. »

  • DVD how much we need for the files backup with backup and restore program?

    Hello how are you?
    DVD how much we need for the files backup with backup and restore program? Y at - it large differences in the time and space between write backups on DVD and external hard drive?

    I do not understand your question.  Asked how the space has been used on your C: drive and you answered 60 GB.  Now you say your PARTITION C: is 60 GB with only 20 GB used?  I really don't understand what you're so confused.  It's simple arithmetic grade 3rd.  What is space you USED on the C: drive, that multiply by 0.7 to obtain the amount of space will be used on your backup disk after compression.  Divide this number by 4.7 and round.  That's how many DVDs you'll need if you insist on the use of DVDs for backup.  Then

    (1) If you are using 60 GB, the answer is (60 x.7) / 4.7 = 8.936.  I rounded up to 9 and added 1 just to be sure.

    (2) If you use only 20 GB, the answer is (20 x.7) / 4.7 = 2.97 rounded up to 3.  Add 1 and get 4.

    If you use only 20 GB, I am very surprised, because almost any important installation of Windows 7 is going to take more than 20 GB.

    All of this assumes that you do NOT use the Windows backup and restore program, but one that I recommended.  When I used the windows one, the results were several times the space that I used on my C: partition.

    Good luck.
