I just installed again XP in c: as I had a problem but now I'm not sure what should I
do with my games that I have in E: they are installed but from the previous XP should I
reinstall each game or just execute each game's exe file and add shortcuts to Start menu?

Thanks

bummer man, yeah, you might as well just delete all the games on your E drive that use reg keys and reinstall them. The games that are registry independant should still be playable, but for major games add reg keys to your registry or put specific files to your C drive that they need to read...yeah...screwed.

There are 10 types of people in the world, those who know binary, and those who don't.

I don't remember or just XP Pro sp2 is different than XP Pro build 2600, I mean I don't see the tab (permissions ) in properties of any file
