I've been tweaking loading times of directory contents in Windows Explorer of Windows 10 and I have deleted some of the keys in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\PropertySystem\PropertyHandlers
.
So far so good. But I have as well an application which can start regedit.exe
on demand.
And when regedit.exe
is started by this application, all deleted keys are in their former places. If I start regedit.exe
manually, those keys are not present.
Question, does this application open regedit.exe
with some different account and registry hive I'm seeing is not hive of my user profile?
If not, then what causes this ghostly effect?
1is the application a 32bit application and is actually looking at the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node
node? – Peter Hahndorf – 2016-05-15T19:24:26.350facepalm Actually, yes, it is 32bit application. I should be more attentive. Thank you. – randomSetOfLetters – 2016-05-15T21:33:25.750
