Under WOW64, certain registry keys are redirected. When a 32-bit or 64-bit software makes a registry contact to get a redirected essential, the registry redirector intercepts the contact and maps it for the key's corresponding physical registry location. For more data, see Registry Redirector.
Other registry keys are shared by each 32-bit and 64-bit apps on 64-bit Windows. 32-bit registry calls to shared keys aren't redirected. Rather, one particular bodily duplicate of your essential is mapped into every single logical watch of the registry.
This matter lists registry keys that are redirected,

Subkeys with the keys with this table inherit the father or mother key's habits unless or else specified. If a crucial has no parent detailed within this table, the true secret is shared.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER is actually a symbolic link to HKEY_USERS\* in which * signifies a match for all person security IDs (SIDs). HKEY_USERS\*\SOFTWARE\Classes is actually a symbolic hyperlink to HKEY_USERS\*_Classes.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT is actually a merged see of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes. Redirected keys in these registry paths are efficiently redirected for HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT also. This really is also genuine for reflected keys on techniques that assistance them.
WOW64 Symbolic Back links
WOW64 defines the subsequent symbolic backlinks only for compatibility with existing apps that will use hardcoded registry key paths made up of Wow6432Node. New apps should keep away from employing Wow6432Node in registry crucial paths.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Classes is linked to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Wow6432Node
