If I were to wipe and reinstall Windows 7 on a partition, is there a way to preserve configuration, particularly for installed applications? For example, I don't want to have to re-download and re-install all of my games on Steam. I figure exporting and importing the registry would be a bad idea since it would inappropriately rewrite EVERY registry key, screwing everything up.
EDIT:
I meant to say that I want to install Windows 7's "memory" of installed applications, as well as the individual app configuration where that is stored in the registry.
