CVS-Ext 1.6.1 already creates HKEY_CURRENT_USER Windows
registry entries on installation for the user who
installed the shell extension. For Administrator on my
machine these were in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\WoLoSoft\CVSExt\Tools and specified
the the CVS, diff and edit executables which be changed
in the CVSExt options dialog.

However, when I switch to my regular machine account,
that HKEY_CURRENT_USER registry tree does not exist, so
the options dialog fails to register the user options,
and there are no default options available. No custom
diff or edit command can be run.

HOW TO FIX: each time CVSExt shell extension starts up,
the presence of those HKEY_CURRENT_USER entries should
be checked, and if they don't exist, the default values
should be created.

WORKAROUND: Use regedit.exe to export a .reg file of
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\WoLoSoft\CVSExt\Tools entries while
logged on as the original installing user and then
import it while logged on as the current user.
