Want to get as close as possible to starting from scratch with my XP
Pro installation without actually reinstalling. Would I gain anything
by first uninstalling all apps and then doing a system restore? Or
will I be wasting my time?

I recommend Macrium Reflect.

Since using it, I have NEVER had to re-install my O.S.

I store my images on a separate hard drive in case my primary drive
fails.

I have used it many times and never a failure.
