Since you can specify the location of the database file for each library, MC 12 has to store those path names. 

You can define more than one library. There are settings that apply to all libraries, so storing them in one or all library databases would be awkward.

So MC 12 needs to store some info outside the database(s).  That doesn't have to be in the registry but it needs to be somewhere.  I'd prefer that it not be in the Registry too.

S,
If possible after you make your backup, try to restore on another machine just to be sure you can.   I opted to simply "Back Up Library", thinking that "Restore Library" would make me whole again after my rebuild.  Didn't work.  At this point I've lost four user defined fields, along with their data.   I should have tested my backup approach - that was my bad.

MrHaugen:
Windows likes to have the settings stored in the registry. Without it MC would probably not do that great. But I do agree there should be an option to backup the registry settings (prefferably together with the library backup), but it should be optional to back up, and to restore. Sometimes you want to start with fresh settings, even if you import your library backup...

It is possible to backup this setting today. You just have to do it manually.
Go Start - Run and hit regedit. Go to HKEY_Local_Machine and HKEY_Current_User -> Software -> JRiver and right click and export (maby local_machine is not needed as it mostly contains old plugin info?).
It saves alot of time when you need to reinstall.

not all are experienced enough to be comfortable editing in the registry, "joe user" for example
