Hello,
UI-customization according to Microsoft should be per WINDOWS user, this is the reason, why UI-config data
are stored in HKEY_CURRENT_USER. This is just Windows Standard.
As for your reasons - all othe them can be addressed by simple tool -> disk image backup program.

Tomasz,
Can we please start moving away from storing data in the registry. It is an abomination of all things!
I realy can't see why config settings can't be stored in "Config Files". It is the standard way to store settings.
Some reasons why using .cfg files would be better.......
Backup: You can backup config files.
Corruption: Registry files often get corrupted. (Often if this happens a windows reinstall is required - Either way you loose those settings)
Multiple use: If config files are kept in a per install basis, Then multiple installs can each have their OWN config settings.
Restore: If you find you have muffed your settings, you can restore your configs with greater ease.
Downgrade: If you wish to downgrade (ie from Beta version that changes config settings) back to a Final release version.
Crash/Replace Hardware: You want to be able to just restore your AB directory and know everything is how it was.
Peace of mind: As above. When ALL settings are in config files - You know when you backup, You have EVERYTHING!
Im sure there are other reasons. But of the top of my head those Seven are pretty good reasons in themselves.
Kind Regards
Michael.

(for example Portfolio Manager button removed ) - you can not have them "exactly"
the same.
