Under WOW64, certain registry keys are redirected. Whenever a 32-bit or 64-bit software helps make a registry call to get a redirected important,
Microsoft Office 2007 Professional, the registry redirector intercepts the call and maps it for the key's corresponding physical registry site. For much more data, see Registry Redirector.
Other registry keys are shared by the two 32-bit and 64-bit programs on 64-bit Windows. 32-bit registry calls to shared keys are not redirected. As a substitute, one physical duplicate from the crucial is mapped into each logical see from the registry.
This topic lists registry keys that are redirected, shared, or redirected and mirrored below WOW64. In addition,
Office 2010 Key, it lists symbolic back links that provide compatibility for existing purposes which will use hardcoded registry key paths that contains Wow6432Node. For much more details, begin to see the subsequent:

The subsequent table lists registry keys which are redirected, shared by equally 32-bit and 64-bit programs, or redirected and reflected on 64-bit Windows. Subkeys of your keys in this table inherit the parent key's conduct except if or else specified. If a important has no parent listed within this table, the important thing is shared.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER is a symbolic website link to HKEY_USERS\* where * signifies a match for all person security IDs (SIDs). HKEY_USERS\*\SOFTWARE\Classes can be a symbolic link to HKEY_USERS\*_Classes.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT can be a merged view of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes. Redirected keys in these registry paths are properly redirected for HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT also. This is also correct for mirrored keys on systems that assist them.
WOW64 Symbolic Backlinks
WOW64 defines the subsequent symbolic links only for compatibility with current apps which will use hardcoded registry essential paths containing Wow6432Node. New apps should steer clear of utilizing Wow6432Node in registry crucial paths.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Classes is connected to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Wow6432Node
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Wow6432Node\Ap pId is connected to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\AppId
