if you're trying to find your registry entries using (for example) the 64-bit version of REGEDIT you will need to look in the relevant WoW6432Node section.

WoW6432Node: that's the key word I was looking for. My program needs to access the registry entries of someone else's 64-bit program. More homework needed.

Thanks Richard

In that case you will need this information:

You should not reference 'WoW6432Node' from code.
