[Bug 17019] New: Wine doesn't merge HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes into HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17019

Summary: Wine doesn't merge HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes
                    into HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.11
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

According to the MSDN
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724498(VS.85).aspx), in the registry
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT is a merged view of 2 registry locations:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes.

My tests show that, under Wine, only HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes gets
merged into HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.

Some applications install registry keys only under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes. These keys won't appear in the merged view,
and will be missed by tools that look at HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.

Simple test to reproduce:
Start regedit
Make a new key under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes
Look at HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT - it isn't there

This breaks uTorrent's file associations, which are written to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes, where they get ignored since
HKEY_CURRENT_USER isn't merged into HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.
