You can not do what you want with Ghost, True Image or any other imaging
program.

After you reinstall the operating system (clean) you will need to reinstall
all of your programs. Sorry.

Not to mention... often it's applications that have messed things up
as much as anything else. A complete re-install gets you a clean
start.
