Backing up folders to reformat

D

I have a question and was wandering if this would work. I want to reformat windows. I have two partitions C(windows), D(programs, apps, etc). I want to start completely over, formatting c and deleteing everything on D except for my saved folders like movies, music, software, etc. ABut I have no where to save them. Could I format windows and then go into the D hard drive after the format and delete the program files folder and everything else I want? Will that get rid of all of the programs and stuff fine jsut like I formatted that drive? Some of my programs and games and stuff are acting funny so I want to start clean. Thanks
 
You got it right. Format C and delete what you don't need from D. Registry and system components are all on your C so if you format C and also delete the program folders from D, it will be starting fresh
 
I usualy have a 10gb partion for the operating system and then the rest for extra data
I install all porgrams to c: and games to d:

and if I have to reinstall I just boot up on the cd and remove the 10gb c partition and create a new one and its done
