            Bug ID: 41312
           Summary: Regedit on a 64 bit machine only displays the
                    Wow6432Node structure
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.9.18
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: registry

Regedit on a Wine 64 bit machine behaves differently compared to Windows 64
bit. Comparing the Regedit view on Wine of a 32 bit vs. Wine on a 64 bit
machine is different and confusing.

On a 64 bit machine Regedit only displays the Wow6432Node content in the
regular HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE structure. This is confusing because Windows 64 bit
displays the regular setup (that is related to 64 bit installation) and
Wow6432Node separately. To view the non-32 bit structure in Wine related to
KEY_WOW64_64KEY the system.reg needs to be manually accessed by an editor. The
recommendation for Regedit is to display the same structure as on Windows 64.
