This script, when configured properly, will back up your windows95
registry. Problems with windows95 can be fixed sometimes by restoring a
corrupted registry. You can automatically backup evertime you boot
Linux, if you place a command in your .bash_profile file. You might
want to backup your browser bookmark files also.
