Facinating! Whoda thunk it!

But let me make sure I understand what you're doing here. Your command
line seems to indicate that the /e switch causes REGEDIT to launch and
automatically create a file called "thebat.reg" which will contain the
key called HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RIT, correct? If so, where is
this file stored since no drive or directory(folder) is specified?

On the other hand, if you have TB perform an automatic backup every
night doesn't that make your efforts unnecessary? I am assuming that
restoring TB from a TB backup, from within TB automatically takes care
of the registry info.

On the third hand, if I were to import the entire "The Bat!" folder
from the off-site Carbonite backup couldn't I also import the
registry? I assume the registry is a file contained somewhere within
the bowels of Vista and if so, may be contained in the Carbonite
backup.

Well, I'm not sure. I have not tried using the import function in the
TOOLS menu to access the Carbonite backup. That's a possibility and
I'll try it.

I'm too old for all this. I long for the days when you could open the
hood(bonnet) of a car and see the ground on both sides of the engine.
