Registry backup/restore

[Brummelchen]

regedit - special:

/e = export
/s = do it silent - can be used on import&export
/a = export als old fashioned win9x style (hidden switch, only NT systems / ascii-format)

in a reg file:
[-key] will delete a key
[key] will add a key

on export you should be sure that regedit.exe is closed otherwise all export will fail.

code:
  ;close regedit before export
