I have been following this thread with some interest as I have to do a
re-install of XP soon.

The long term answer would be for Ritlabs to keep TB!'s settings in an
ini file instead of the registry - I think MS have been recommending
for a couple of years that application specific settings are kept in
ini files (or perhaps XML files nowadays).

Agent does this and, since I keep all my 'well behaved' apps on the D:
drive, after an OS re-install they are all available for immediate
use, since they don't need any registry settings to work.
