1.	Solve : How To Re-associate Programs Back To Windows XP Start Menu??
Answer» I have Windows XP INSTALLED on the C: partition of my hard drive. When I install programs, I install most of them to the drive's other partition, D: I upgraded computer hardware to the point that I had to reinstall Windows XP to the c: partition. (A repair of the current install was not enough to get XP to accept the new motherboard, chipset, etc.) The PROBLEM is, of course, that now XP doesn't "see" the programs/apps which currently reside in the d: partition. I know I can reinstall each program, but was wondering if there was a faster / easier / more elegant way to (carefully) edit the registry or somehow cause the new installation of XP to find / RECOGNIZE the d:\program files directory. I've searched on line, and haven't really found anything. Thanks for your TIME!You will have to reinstall them.Lie to me, JJ! I was afraid of that! Thanks!
