You're assuming that both machines have the same drives. At home TB!
resides in d:\home\morpheus\bat\. At work it resides on
c:\home\morpheus\bat\.
What is kept in the registry is just window and editor preferences.
Personally I feel nothing should be stored in the registry. After fighting
with it after using Unix's rc files I have *NO* clue why they made that utter
crap thing.

Moving the registry doesn't solve those problems. Personally, moving the
registry isn't worth the trouble, IMHO.
