(as posted in your original thread):
In many cases, you are not going to be able to simply copy an .exe file from your 95 drive to XP and run the program. There may be required .dll or .ini files necessary to run the program. If you can reinstall the application, you would have to copy each and every missing file from the 95 drive to the XP drive. This could be VERY time consuming.
