If not, then you will have to put them back in. This is a good idea to do every so often. You will notice a HUGE improvement in speed of your pc. Double check to make sure you have everything saved that you want.. Pics, music, docs, bookmarks, email, etc...
In addition to what's been stated, anything that your computer came with from factory, such as a trial edition of Office, or trial edition of some type of antivirus software will also be re-installed as a working trial.

I suggest doing some preventive cleaning first to see if this doesn't help your situation, look here on how to do it - Keepin' it Clean - Helljack6.com
Do you also keep your operating system?
