Dear Jimmy,

I am afraid You digress, the backup feature does only
funktion for registry editions on my download!

The issue however is not Regclenr.exe but rather the
Bluebyte misfortune renouned Battle Isle product.

I have uncovered additional information, but will venture
to the other stream.

Yours truly
Antti
