A disadvantage of .reg files is that some organizations have windows
policies
that require administrator rights to use regedit.exe; .ref files don't
work for
non-administrators (like me).
And so I need to give a BIG THANKS to the people who wrote regtool.exe
and the code
for /proc/registry/, and also the setup.exe coders who remembered to
give us a
"just for me" option.
