Bug #: 34206 Summary: Regedit doesn't show user created entries Product: Wine Version: 1.6 Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: jluth@mail.com Classification: Unclassified
Created attachment 45509 --> http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=45509 picture showing HKCR with only 3 .xxx entries (should be many) and .pdf already existing even though not visible
Any keys in HKCR created by the user are not shown by regedit after wine is "re-started". The keys HAVE been created (if you try to create it again, you get the error message "File exists"), but are not visible.
There are MANY keys that I see in the system.reg file that I don't see in regedit! The problem at least existed already in Wine 1.4 (Ubuntu), and still exists in 1.6 (Mint Maya).
To reproduce Step 1. With nothing using wine, run regedit and create a .pdf key in HKCR. Step 2. Close regedit. Step 3. Still with nothing running wine (so that the registry has been completely close), run regedit again. You will not see the .pdf key, but it does exist.
The same thing is true for any keys entered via "regedit importkeys.reg". I don't notice this problem in HKLM (except of course for HKLM\Software\Classes) or in HKCU, so it seems to be restricted to the Classes_Root section.
