Listen to what PA Bear said, you'll have to install them all again.

I have read about the Settings and File Transfer wizard for years but there
is at least one thing I don't understand that is important to me now that I
think I need to use it.

I am about to assemble a new computer and want to know how to transfer
all,if not most, of the programs installed on the old one to the new one. I
feel confident in getting all the files I want in 'Programs Files' from the
old one to the new one but can someone tell me how I get their Registry
entries or any other required system info over to the new one? The old one
has XP Home as probably will the new one. (I might wind up with XP Pro on
the new one because I have an unused license I can use on it.)

I have looked everywhere I know to look to find the answer to the question
but have come up short.

Will appreciate any help here.

Thank you very much.

Get an external hard drive and shunt them all across. :-)
I do it with stoic regularity :-(

Thank you.

But how does that solve the Registry problem? I doubt shunting the Registry over would work out on the new machine.
