I made a big goof by removing some of my registry through a registry cleanup
program and now the program won't restore. I can reconnect the *.exe
connections manually for my loaded programs, but the Windows Accessory
programs such as System restore and e-mail programs won't open without an
assigned .exe file. My Desktop is working, internet and programs I
reconnected.

I believe there is a repair function when booting my XP cd or do I need to
reload Windows? Is there another option or is this another "live and learn" ?

If I need to reload XP and set it up in the existing large disk partition,
would I end up with 2 copies of Windows? Should I and can I delete Windows
first? Would I need to reload all the programs or would they reconnect?
 
The first list was confusing but it didn't seem to function. The second list
wouldn't open for it was looking for the .exe program.
