Does an ARG file include the information found under the files tab in Options dialog

Does the arg file include the information found under the files tab in the options dialog box?

Yes, but not in a simple list form. The info seems to be extracted from the list and used as required.
Examples - "TempDirectory"="%TempFolder%\\"
"PlotSpoolerDirectory"="%TempFolder%\\"
"NetLocation"="http://www.autodesk.com"
"MenuFile"="%RoamableRootFolder%\\support\\acad"

Yes, the ARG file is just a .REG file (for importing into the registry)

You could open it in Notepad and strip out items you don't want to import if needed.
