    just possibly.. google (whatever program) keyfinder.. and it should take you to little free applications which will read the registry and tell you.. of course some of us use proper legal free software without these stupid kinds of restrictions.

    the only programs that can backup and restore programs are laplink pcmover and softrescue. They backup the program and all the registry entries.

    There are free imagining software (macrium reflect etc)that will backup everything windows/programs.

    Or use tar and a heap of dvd's and image the whole drive.. very simple really... standard unix backup methodology.. has been for 40 years.
