Hi:

I want to reinstall the operating system without
affecting the installed applications. Is there
documentation on this?

all you need do is boot from your cd
then perform a repair installtion
(or an in-place upgrade)

in other words...if you install win2k back over itself
all you'll loose is your windows updates
