Well I just copy the *entire* Steam folder and then when I reinstall Steam, I make sure it's installed to the same folder - but yes, it works. Nowadays I have a dedicated partition for Steam so when I reinstall my PC I don't have to do anything except reinstall Steam (and that's just to make sure everything is "configured" properly)

I 2nd this. Works fine. Just don't copy over the folder of games you don't want. No worries.

Steam will restore those registry entries.
My Steam games are anywhere but my primary drive and they have been for years. When I format, I install Steam, add that folder on that drive to the library (and before they added that, I simply installed Steam to its old location). When it then starts, it simply checks what files are in there, matches them up to your library (which means they get updates already at that point) and verifies them when you first start them again.

Yeah, that new addition is MOST helpful on Steam. Finally being able to specify where to install games has helped immensely.

Copy the entire Steam folder. You dont even need to reinstall steam just make a new shortcut to the exe and it works again.

In steam also make sure to set the standard download folder of steams to the corret position. For me CTRL + C / CTRL + V of steamapps worked too.

Try and run one of them. It will go through the motions of trying to download it and detect the existing files.

I have system on ssd c: drive and all steam games installed on a separate ssd drive d:.
Then when ever I have to do a full wipe of c: drive I simply re install steam and point it to the d: drive steam folder.
I love steam for this reason. Never had a single game fail this way.
