Don't worry about this one;I have it all figured.  Of course I only export
HKCU\Environment; grep out the path, create a 4-line reg file and reimport.
(Surely one can't just provide a .reg for the path; additions have to be
merged into what is already there.)
(I also note that the
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\Environment\Path
doesn't do anything yet)

Yes, and that is mounted into the registry as HKLM\Doftware\Wine\Wine.!!!

Yes,I understand that.

My question was to do with the mechanisms available for modifying them.  You
seem to be confirming my suspicion that the only way is to edit the config
file itself and restart the wineserver; we can't edit that branch of the
registry tree through regedit (either using the GUI or by import).
