Hi everyone i'm new here. I want to know is there n e software out there that can back up certain application that is already installed in windows sytem. I'm not talking about doing a full backup on the windows system.

Hi, yeah it's possible, you need to backup the folder where DVD Player software were installed, and the windows registy file. I can't see the other way of this. but is not the best way, i think it's better to backup the hole windows. About progs, i use True Image for several years.

you can make some sort of our registy backup using it's own option 'export', and save the hole registy to you hd as *.reg file.
but i don't advice you make suck backups. because they don't guarantee stability of your system in future when you will restore it.
