I just got a new HDD and am doing a fresh install of Win Me on it (I know... I know)

anyways... I have transferred over the data files and re-installed most of my programs.
But for some programs I don't have the original installation disks.. have no idea where they went.. just mut have dissappeared over the years..

Is there any way to transfer the programs from the old HDD to the new without the disks?
There are 2 programs, both seem like standard installations (in the windows/program files directory. both have shortcuts on the Desktop and whatnot.

Anyone know if this is possible?
TIA

Using a program like this (http://www.alohabob.com/PCRelocator.asp?sub=1) is the only way I know to transfer programs with their registry settings.

I agree with Redo40. Aloha Bob has worked quite well for me.
