            <p>Games can also save your progress to the Windows registry instead of using a location on your hard drive.  As of v1.1.8, GBM now supports saving and restoring registry keys.</p>

            <h4>Important Details:</h4>
            <ul>
              <li>Registry backups are supported in Windows and in
  Wine/Proton on Linux.
              <li>The Windows/Wine reg.exe utility is used to
  manipulate the registry, GBM does not manipulate it directly.
              <li>In Windows, GBM must be running as administrator to
  backup from or restore to the registry.
              <li>GBM cannot backup or restore specific registry values, only entire keys and/or sub-keys.  This is a limitation of reg.exe and regedit.exe.  If that doesn't make sense, <A href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/SysInfo/structure-of-the-registry" target=_blank>read more</A> about the Windows registry.<li>GBM only supports saving and restoring to the
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry hives.
              <li>GBM detects registry configurations based on the
  presence of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, HKLM, HKEY_CURRENT_USER or HKCU at the start
  of a path.
              <li>The Game Manager will disable all the features that are not supported when a registry configuration is detected.</li>
