Why not to let the user decide, IF (s)he wishes so? In that case, the installer
could list all registry keys and their values, and the user can make a
case-by-case decision. Might be better in some cases, that a general decision
towards the one or another side.

I lost once all my valuable POV scenes because I never found out, that that POV
version moved (and not just copied) the user files into a totally different
folder within "My Documents". I was used to a folder within the POV-Ray folder.
So I deleted that new Scenes folder inside My Documents, and repended bitterly,
up to today (the Seneca deep space carrier, presented in this forum, was among
them).

I think, it is just wise, to include an option where the user can decide on a
case-by-case base.
