Regback Vbs

This script backs up the Windows services startup configuration to .reg and .bat files. It loops through each Windows service, retrieves the startup type, and writes entries to the .reg file to backup the registry keys and to the .bat file to configure the services via sc.exe commands. It handles per-user services separately. Upon completion, it displays a summary of the number of services backed up and any services it could not backup.
