A registry, in general, is a decent idea.  It's more robust and more 
permanent than environment variables, and the centralization is better 
than INI files scattered about (probably).  The problem is that the 
Windows Registry has passed beyond all mortal ken, probably sometime 
around when they started indexing things by GUID, losing any hierarchy 
based on application.

That, and the file format definitely isn't robust to bit-rot that 
happened too often on FAT16/32 filesystems.
