I need to know how to keep the downloads I've collected from gotd while reinstalling vista anew (vlite, for all you restless souls). can I just migrate the programs back and forth between an external hd and my pc as I reinstall the os, or what? Please, any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

Games GuruNo you cannot do that as you need the registration entries.
I cannot say how you can do it because it's not allowed here on these forums as it would be breaking the agreement between the software developers/distributors and the Game Giveaway team. If you just do a repair install then the registration entries wont be lost.
The whole point of this project is to give you more than the usual 60 minutes to evaluate a product. If you really want to keep them then ultimately you may have to buy them.

Whiterabbit speaks the truth.
The only support for installation of giveaway software is during the giveaway period.
If you need to reinstall the giveaway software outside of the 24hour giveaway period - you can either wait for the possibility of a re-run giveaway, or purchase a license from the developer (Contact them via their website - often they will provide a software license at a discount to their usual price).
If it is "going to suck" not having your favorite free program after a system reinstall - perhaps that is a sign the software might even be worth registering.
If you needed/used the software that much, it's worth buying.
