You could always do a command-line regedit with a previously exported
registry tree (i.e. 'regedit mounts.reg'. I'll attach one to this message).
The only problem is that it pops up a little dialog box to tell you it
did it. Probably someone on here knows of a utility that doesn't involve
the gui at all...
