I don’t know what’s going on here… but the Microsoft.Win32.Registry class is returning all kinds of strange stuff. When I say GetSubKeys it returns a bunch of things that aren’t there in regedit (for example, I call Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(“SOFTWARE”).SubKeyCount and it returns “81”… but there are only 30 keys when I view it using regedit)
when I try to get the value of something it always returns null.
I have gone through the registry and set permissions on various keys to everyone:full just to test, but still nothing.
am I missing something? I did just upgrade to Windows7 Ultimate from a Vista Ultimate machine…

the actual answer:
Windows 64-bit registry v.s. 32-bit registry
since my laptop is 64bit and my app is 32bit… it was looking under
