quicker reinstall

Is it possible to create a program that automaticly installs programs for you.

If I just did a reinstall of windows and wanted to reinstall SP2, adaware and spybot I would have to them seperatly and be there to enter information while they install, but I want to write a program that does all that for me when I double click it.

Possible? yea or nay?

Sorry I can't add anything intelligent to your question, but yes it is possible, but you would have to code a program to do that. The sky is the limit when you can efficiently and effectively program a computer, you can do just about anything.

I think that I have heard of people tweaking Windows XP so it was only a couple click install (tweaked by integrating the serial number into the disk, etc.)

yes.... but its not really a program but more of a batch file... Most programs have switches to install programs...
