 A forensic analysis of the Tor Browser Bundle (version 2.3.25-6, 64-bit)
 on Windows 7 showed that the registry contains the path to the Tor Browser
 Bundle executable.

 HKEY_CURRENT_USER, abbreviated HKCU, stores settings that are specific to
 the currently logged-in user. Each user's settings are stored in files
 called NTUSER.DAT and UsrClass.dat. The path to the Tor Browser Bundle
 executable is listed in the following two files:

  * C:\Users\runa\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\UsrClass.dat
  * C:\Users\runa\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\UsrClass.dat.LOG1

 I did not find traces of the Tor Browser Bundle in any of the NTUSER.DAT
 files.
