Upgrade to XP

Just upgraded from Windows ME to XP Home, first off everything seemed OK
but shortly after completing upgrade everything hung up and pc would not
respond.

Re-installed XP, now it works but all previous programmes appear to
have been uninstalled - the files are still there, as is data, but
desktop is blank and not much will run.

I haven't been able to find any uninstall option for XP to get back to
ME.

Is there anything I can do to "recover" some sense of normality and get
my previously installed programmes running? Some of these were
internet downloads/upgrades and registration keys, etc for these were
in e-mails (Outlook) that I have not been able to find in my new,
rather empty, XP world.
