Some do and some don't. I've lost MS Office, and the problem was that it was pre-installed, and of course I don't have the disc. Not happy about that! I've been doing exactly what you said, re-installing them in the existing directory, and although tedious and time consuming it seems to be going well.
I'm going to need to find out how to make an image of my current settings, so that if this happens again, I won't have all this hassle. I think it'll be easier said than done though. :) :P
Cheers
