   I would guess that you would mostly use them with a Runtime distribution   
   of an application to ensure that registry settings never/always change.   
   -e prevents writes to the registry, so if your install script has done   
   all the work you don't want end-users changing anything   
   -f forces writes to the registry, so maybe useful if you want your   
   end-users to be able to customize settings for themselves.   
      
   It would be interesting to know which one is higher in the hierarchy if   
   you use them both!
