Is there an HKEY_Current_User equivalent of HKey_Classes_Root\Record?

Question

For HKey_Class_Root\CLSID I found the equivalent to be HKey_Current_User\Software\Classes\CLSID but looking in the registry I didn't see "Record" in the same location.

Answer 1

how about

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes?

and

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes

What you see in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT actually is a merge of these two keys (and it depends on your permissions in which of these two branch new entries made under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT will be created).
