Sorry to say your applications are probably lost. Unless you have an OS backup with Ghost or another imaging program, better start looking for the CD Keys. The keys are in the registry.

Please backup any personal data ASAP before doing anything.

I've used the Office open-source program equivalents. They seem pretty good to me.

There are programs out there that put all of those forgotten keys into a comprehensive report that you can print out or view in html format. It's probably too late now since the OS was wiped, but it is worth a try. Do a web search on 'PC Audit' to find the free personal PC audit software programs available. Some are better than others.
