Hi there,
When in setup windows in my computer then i need to install all essential software. But its very much boring to setup all software 1 by 1.
I saw in Intel Mother CD that it install all soft ware 1 by 1 and take restart if necessary.
How can i built this kind of menu to install all my software in 1 clickBishad
Slipstream all the drivers into your WinXP CD. Also can slipstream all service packs and updates.
Have a look at a utility called nLite. It is one way to slipstream those items.

Installing all your 'software' during an install is pretty difficult, if not impossible.
An option is to take an image of your system (using Ghost or Acronis) once it is set up with all your software. Then just restore the image when you need to reinstall.

My Bad. I misread and though you were referring to drivers and such.
If you find it necessary to re-install WinXP often then the first thing to ask yourself is why. That said the easiest method to re-install on the SAME computer is to create an image of the partition using a utility like Ghost or Acronis.

You have it already. It is ntbackup with system state.
Make a clean up to date install with all your programs. Then make a master backup.
When you apply it later as a restore the system will be as new."Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, antivirus, anti-spyware, Live CD's, backups, are in my top 10

From what I see, ntbackup is used for backing up files. According to the following site, It seems to be limited to backing up to tape, Zip drive and floppies.

I don't see anything that says it can backup and restore an Operating System.

You're all pretty much wrong really.
OEM computers [Lenovo, being an example] make OS installations that install Windows, updates and programs selected. All you have to do is let it restart a few times.
Also, NTBackup can be used to backup and restore an OS. Documents and Settings, Program Files and WINDOWS, along with the system state, are to be backed up.
On a fresh reinstallation of Windows, simply restore those four things to their original location and you have a restored computer.

While you may be correct in how to restore an OEM computer you evidently didn't look at the OP's specs.
It doesn't appear to be an OEM machine.
Besides which that still wouldn't account for all the programs that DON'T come pre-installed to start.
One last point to make. The hidden partition that is used to create the restore disks is nothing more than a retore image and it is transfered to the disks you make. That makes them imiage restore disks, the same as described above.
