=======================================

I'm not the expert Des, but the xxcloning process includes a second step
that is carried out after booting for the first time into the clone-copy of
the original partition. Since that second step apparently (I think) cannot
be carried out unless the original partition is still read-accessible from
the clone-copy partition, I assume it is at that stage that the copying of
the registry file from the original partition is completed. As you can see
I'm guessing a bit here, pending confirmation from the experts.
