Apps must be reinstalled after OS reinstall.
Do you have Windows 7 OEM (came installed on system) or full retail version?
If OEM, OS reinstall would leave HDD as it was when the system was new, partitions and all.
If full retail, wipe the HDD with KillDisk, install Windows 7, then use "shrink" feature in Disk Management to create partitions, if you wish.
