You will have to reinstall your applications if you want to use them. The
Windows.old folder is sometimes found at the route of your drive C:

Hi,

In addition to Andre, you need to set folder options to see hidden folders.
Click start and type 'control folders', then hit <enter>. On the view tab
you can make the necessary changes. You should then be able to find
windows.old on the root of C:\.

If you upgraded to Vista, your pictures should be in
C:\Users\youraccount\Pictures
and your music in C:\Users\youraccount\Music
