I had some interesting ideas on this a while back, but I read something the 
other day that scared me.

My ideas had to do with scripting regedit to accomplish this.  Check out 
what one guy said last week:

"if you definitely want to edit it manually, you must use regedt32, as 
regedit can't do REG_MULTI_SIZE."

(And REG_MULTI_SIZE is what NBU uses.)  Any confirmation on this?
