backup the win95 registry from Linux

["Don Jr." <harter@mufn.org>]

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.
