📝 Notes

Saved rename presets are stored in %APPDATA%\TGRMN Software\Bulk Rename Utility\ as XML files, not in the registry.
The key path HKCU\SOFTWARE\TBRU uses the abbreviated internal name; no TGRMN parent key is created.
Portable mode: copy BulkRenameUtility.exe to any folder; HKCU settings are still written, but no HKLM uninstall entry is created.
Bulk Rename Utility does not register file associations or shell extensions by default.
