Thanks, I hadn't tried that, duh! And pendmoves tells me the 
appropriate key is empty as well (as I haven't put anything there 
yet!). Sorry, I'm hung up on details. Little things like is there a 
mechanism for specifying the Pending Renames\Deletions, and what 
differentiates them (rename to null for delete?) I mean, MoveFile 
says to me copy it to the destination and delete it from the source. 
(I know you said you hadn't actually used it yet.) But I see a 
potentially valuable tool here for maybe copying the registry 
components. (I wasted mucho time once finding out that Win32 was 
running before Startup & Shutdown Scripts were executed!) I'll write 
the author and let you know if he answers.

Thanks again: DES
