Abstract
A system and method for efficiently reinstalling computer software, which tracks frequency of utilization for each software application loaded onto the computer and reinstalls applications based on frequency of utilization, with the option to reinstall a computer operating system first or to reinstall computer applications along with libraries, so that computer users can resume working as soon as possible instead of waiting many hours for the entire reinstallation image to complete before a computer system reboot allows for continuation of computer usage.
