Hi Simon!
I guess not. You do not want to restore the registry at all. You will
loose all changes since the last backup!
Further more, long file names are not stored in the registry. Long File
Names are stored using a series of linked directory entries. A LFN will
use one directory entry for its alias (the alias is the 8.3 name
automatically generated), and a hidden secondary directory entry for
every 13 characters in its name.
Kindest regards,
Eric van Loon
