Stuff like this is the main reason I always build my machines to the state I want them and then do a full backup. Then store that backup in a separate folder and create a new backup for your daily backups. Makes rebuilding a machine fairly trivial.

At work, I just use LTI, which is a bit more complex to set up, but doesn't really require anything special to run - other than a computer to share the files from, or a USB key large enough to hold all your install files. Rebuild time is about 2 hours on a slower machine but much less for a fast machine. The benefit of doing this is that you can easily add a new program to your task sequence as it becomes part of your standard build, rather than just restoring from a previously set up image.
