Yes, but what did he restore? The registry export/saving technics
commonly taught on the list is only about the branch under
[HKCU...\RIT], or at most with the addition of the now defunct
[HKLM...\RIT] tree. Upon installation, TB makes registry
additions/changes beyond those places. That's what I was talking
about.
Missing those settings probably won't have any effect on TB's
regular operation, but might be the source of such problems like
"can't launch TB when clicking on a mailto link in the browser" or
"no action when clicking on a .eml file", etc.
The registry settings TB amends during installation include:
* additional file classes (including protocol classes)
* redefine some existing file classes and/or their associated actions
* registering TB as a system-wide (and default) email client
These settings won't be ported over if you simply save the
[HKCU...\RIT] tree and imported into another machine.
Now, TB may have builtin checking routine that would check those
settings when you launch it, but I don't know how complete it is.
