The Windows95 Registry doesn't like to be moved and so if you want to
move it you'll have to reinstall windows95 and then reinstall your data,
and finally reinstall your old registry. You need a util for this.
I've used my conner tape drive to move my win95 stuff and it's program
automatically backups and reinstalls the registry. Don't you all just
love using mickysoft?
