Windows – Where do software and games place their registry keys

windows 7windows-registry

Simply put, where does software usually place their registry keys (I mean which folder of the registry in regedit)?

In every folder of registry there are many many sub-folders.

Best Answer

Consistency in registry paths is awful. Usually though, you're going to find what you're looking for under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE, or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE.
