I am looking to take all of my Programs including my OS's and I would like to be able to install a program without having to enter the key code I would like to be able to burn a Cd with it already put in there so the next I use it I do not have to worry about it.

I'm assuming you're doing this so you can easily reload your system. Corporations do this all of the time by repackaging the applications using products from Wise Solutions or Installshield. Basically a snapshot is taken before the installation. The installation is performed and then an after snapshot is taken. All of the file and registry changes in between get packaged. Now, when this package is installed, the key codes will be embedded and automatically added to the system. This can bedone silently if need be. Check out Wise.com or Installshield.com for more information on repackaging. It is a very complex process but may be worth it if you reload all of the time.
