Congratulations, Ray! As far as using forward vs. back slashes in the last
two registry calls, I think Windows will be OK with it, but I'm not sure how
far back that support goes. It would be safer to use back slashes by taking
your variable that contains the path and doing a:

  replace "/" with "\" in <variable>

Just my $0.02,
