In case you forgotten - windows does use registry. Not config files. Not xml.

The only "text" format registry can be written to/read from  is ... .reg files.
You can do that with regedit to both export to/import from.

However it is not 1-to-1 mapping, as you loosing lots of information while
doing that (on windows, Wine doesn't have all that ... yet). Reg files don't
store access permissions and modification times.

The resolution stands - you can not edit registry as a text files. Not on
Windows and not on Wine (if you really so ignorant and can't look at ~/.wine
directory).
