Absolute SUPERB application! But not portable...yet!
Writes settings to "Config.ini" file in AppData.
No registry entries.
I will test later, but if it's worth usage in the "real world" then a VBScript can easily be created for now. I could create one in the time it takes me to write this.

Yes, I will be uploading to my site sometime this week.
Perhaps you could write a general vbscript that would only need some variables defined in the beginning (e.g. registry key(s), config file/dir path(s)) so it could be more modular. I can share yaP's logic as it operates the same manner.
