[Paraview] registry file?

[clinton at elemtech.com]

I could chime in but it looks like everyone covered the issues :)

As for the Windows registry limitation, we could try to limit what we store in 
the registry and still store some things in %APPDATA% such as server 
configurations.

And there's also the servers configuration file, which doesn't get saved in 
the same file as the settings, but is in the same location.  Changing how the 
settings are saved will separate those files.
In any case, an import/export functionality on the server configuration dialog 
would be a nice thing to have.
