Anyway To Copy All Installed Games?

Hello,
I was wondering if there was a particular software progam or a way to copy all games that are installed on your system and save it to install it all at a later time if necessary, so that in case you format your hard drive you dont have to re-install all of the games again. I am familiar with the Norton Ghost, but that is for copying an entire operating system and whatever else is installed on your computer I believe.
Thank you.

If you are saying, that you want a way of quickly reinstalling windows without having to reload all your applications & games.
Ghost is the best way, or some other disk image program, like Acronis.
The newer versions of ghost & acronis will backup the image to an external drive.

Before posting try google. Backup. Use anti virus software.

Actually, I want a program that allows me to install, say just all of my games as a group or maybe some other set of programs instead of having to go disk by disk or make a ghost image of the entire system.

Most games install stuff in the Registry. It would be necessary to copy the Registry entries for each game along with the game. I don't know of anything that will do that.
