Under WOW64, particular registry keys are redirected. When a 32-bit or 64-bit software tends to make a registry get in touch with for any redirected key, the registry redirector intercepts the call and maps it to your key's corresponding bodily registry location. For much more information, see Registry Redirector.
Other registry keys are shared by each 32-bit and 64-bit applications on 64-bit Windows. 32-bit registry calls to shared keys aren't redirected. Instead, a single bodily copy from the crucial is mapped into each and every logical watch of your registry.
This matter lists registry keys which are redirected,

The subsequent table lists registry keys that are redirected, shared by each 32-bit and 64-bit purposes, or redirected and reflected on 64-bit Windows. Subkeys from the keys with this table inherit the parent key's habits until otherwise specified. If a crucial has no mother or father outlined on this table, the key is shared.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER is actually a symbolic website link to HKEY_USERS\* wherever * signifies a match for all consumer protection IDs (SIDs). HKEY_USERS\*\SOFTWARE\Classes is actually a symbolic website link to HKEY_USERS\*_Classes.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT is actually a merged view of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes. Redirected keys in these registry paths are properly redirected for HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT also. That is also accurate for reflected keys on techniques that assist them.
