This is a chronic problem for me, as my situation is the extreme
illustration of this. There is no efficient way to do this for me,
and I do OFTEN refer back to the archives. One frequent need is to
refer back to software registration keys from years gone by. Each new
laptop I get (every 14 months or so) requires I re-install literally
dozens of programs for which I may have received the activation key 5
or more years ago.
